'ww' FORWARD Since this is the age of the rocket and satellite, We realized our yearbook was in a great slight. We t ought a Caravan moves much too slow To keep up with an Explorer, Sooo. . . The Seniors then decided to launch a rocket of their own With the approval of their adviser, Mr. Brown. We turned the name Caravan around, in fact, And changed it to the NAVARAC. Before the NAVARAC could be fired, A long time of planning had expired. The yearbook staff worked every day To help send this rocket on its way. Boosters, patrons, subscribers, all Faithfully answered to our yearbook's call. The launching is completed now And never to forget it is every senior's vow. X
