S. june 2, 1970, marked the end of the beginning for the first grad- uating class of Woodway Senior High School. They had completed not only twelve years of education, but also the establishment of a new high school. The class of '70 grew up with Woodway--having entered its doors the first year of the school's existence. They met the challenge of setting up a new high school, and as they crossed the gym floor for the last time it was with great pride. They had succeeded in giving birth to a great school. They were able to excel in many aspects of school life--even though the odds were all against them--because they knew how important it was for them to make a name for Woodway. Wonderful traditions had been established, the learning of knowledge had effectively been combined with varied social events, and achievements were made in sports, drama, music, debate, publications, and academic areas. For three years these seniors experienced the draw-backs of a new school, and yet, at the time of commencement no one was com- plaining. They were in fact proud--proud of a job they did well, of a school that everyone can admire. The graduates will always remember W.H.S. as their second home, the faculty as their second parents, the students as their brothers and sisters. Leaving Wood- way was like leaving an old friend, but they must continue along their path to the stars. When you part from your friend-- You grieve not, Forthat which you love most in him, Is clearer in his absence, As the mountain to the climber ls clearer from the plain. -Kahlil Cibraen Leslie Simons, selected by the faculty, lf , says Mike Hunsinger, as the students stresses a point in her speech. speaker, expresses an opinion. 1
