THE ,...z viii- --f-'ft -,-141.1 I : I H55 This is the story of the construction and growth of the Senior Class at Whitesboro Central School, Whitesboro, New York, in the year 1953. It is the year that the expansion pro- gram of our school was voted on - indi- cating the concern and farsightedness of our community. We Seniors have been offered important opportunities in our school years. As we stand on the thresh- old of our new life, we look back in re- view at those opportunities in an eiiort to appraise ourselves as the finished prod- uct of the school of which we are proud. We came to Whitesluoro Central a few years ago. The immensity of the building and the strangeness bewildered us. After a week had passed, we became accus- tomed to the surroundings and the rules we were to follow. We had ideals to attain such as appreciation, service, achieve- ment and sporstlnanship. Our mental and social development had begun. Using our subjects as the foundation, the teachers as engineers, and the various extra-curricular activities as material, the construction of the present Senior Class got rapidly underway. With us we carry Whitesboro Central School's motto - We enter to learn and go forth to serve. lll f 11-1 ,,j.f-v- ,- f'- - -' ,A ,., ,Q ,.... ,.,.-1 . if-P' ,.-.1-1-' lint- --f

Q4 must be built on a firm foundation with capable constructors in order to be a strong and serviceable structure. We Sen- iors have our subjects as a firm founda- tion and our teachers have been the archi- tects and engineers who have guided us so carefully. We have enough subjects to offer a Wide choice. In the eighth grade we roughly sketched the schedule we would follow in high school. Our future was barely perceptible. Some chose the Col- lege Entrance Course, others the Com- mercial Course, and still others the Aca- demic Course. In the freshman year We charted a more or less standard course, science, so- cial studies, and English, with either ele- mentary algebra and a language added for the College Entrance Course or intro- duction to business for the Commercial Course. By the end of that year our plans had become a little clearer. Using the ninth grade subjects as a base, we built onward and upward, step by step. From time to time schedules were changed to fit the clear paths to the future-fast becoming the firm foundation. The teachers as engineers were the ones who built the firm foundation. They took the raw materials, combined them carefully, and patiently molded them ac- cording to individual needs and designs. The Senior Class is indebted to these en- gineers for their Wonderful,--work. Our ,lune graduation is evidence' of the goal having been reached. The Seniors are embarking now on new adventure. Some will go to college, others will join the service, or go directly to their chosen career. Whatever We do, We know that our futures have been built firmly with the best guidance so that we can face the world with assurance. Our growth may not be different from that of the classes that have gone before us, nor perhaps any different from the ones following in our footsteps. If the foundation is sound and the constructors are as good as we have had, a successful outcome is inevitable. l3i
