Windham High School - Crystal Yearbook (Willimantic, CT)

EDITORIAL During our four years of high school, we have pursued about sixteen subjects, and in each of these sixteen subjects we have amassed a large amount of detailed information or data. To be sure, a certain portion of this material will be useful in specific and practical concerns of life, but another and larger portion will quickly be forgotten. Yet, in the long run, it will little matter whether we remember or forget this data. The import- ant thing for us will have been that in the pursuit of these subjects we have come to see the necessity for a liberal point of view, and that we have learned to practice the scientific method. Windham High has struggled to develop in us character, judgment, and tolerance. She has endeavored to show us that our every thought, word, or deed reflects us. Judge not, therefore, that ye be not judged. Now that we must leave our Alma Mater, let us strive always to remember the essence of her teachings. Let us ever be open-minded-hold our opinions tentatively, always ready to modify them or substitute others as further experience or knowledge shows them to be false. Let us cultivate a ques- tioning attitude that is eager to gain whatever knowledge will deepen our understanding. Out in the world of every-day life, let us be broad and scientific-minded. Even in our smallest judgment let us be sure that we have considered all known information concerning this matter at hand, that we have regarded it from all possible angles, and that no mean prejudices bias us. Then and only then shall we have gained a truly liberal education. Hiauax D. PoLLARD I Five J

wx MV. Eitll. so All A 21 ALMA IVIATIS R By green hills eternal, Surrounded, supernal, Fair precincts where our fathers musing trod, O stately thou standest Of all schools the grandest To guide us all up to the throne of God. When as to a fountain, On l-lelicon's fair mountain, We, thirsting came to thee in fairest youth, Thou gavest for asking, Nor willfully tasking, Deep draughts from out thy deep Wellspring Fore'er let thy glory Be sounded in story, Far down the golden corridors of time, Thy children's devotion Shall deepen thy portion Until thy name be sung in every clime. CHORUS Q Sing, Sing, for Windham sing, For Old Natchaug ring out the chorus free. Then sing, sing together, Of Windham High forever- Thy loyal sons and daughters all are we. tSiX ,l of truth
