mg 1... Uf I VY ORA T1 ON INCII the beginning of civilivation the ivy plant has been endowed ., v with religious significance. To the Egyptians it was the earthly representative of Osiris, the god they worshipped as creator-to the Greeks it stood for Bacchus, the joyous god of the festival of harvest--and the Romans used it entwined with laurel to crown their poets at the spring and winter celebrations. So the ivy has come down to us, the symbol of creation, of growth, of the supreme in human effort and achievement. To us, this ivy plant has a more personal significance. lt stands for the years we have spent at Windham High School-the new ideas and ideals we have gained. The unfading green of the ivy leaves suggest the beneficial influence which has been given to us through the effort of our teachers and principal, and which will never cease to guide us in the years to come. The ivy is tenacious, gaining a foothold and sending forth its gallant green banners in the face of the most adverse conditions. So may we go through life, undaunted by misfortune, constantly pressing forward to the realization of our ambitions and ideals. CLAIRE FRINK, Chairmmz VVILLIAM L1cNNoN NlARY Crxscio 1 Twelve 9
