 Look to the future—preserve the past. But what is future is soon present. And the present is soon past. Our lives are slaves to time. And time never stops. But imagine you could stop time. To examine the past, present, and future. Carefully. Before time changed it all. What would it look like? The present. End of another year Of your schooling. It is the last. But what is in the past? Blurred images of memories But then A single, maybe trivial Event of the past Explodes into reality Your life is one fourth over. What have you accomplished? What things make you what you are? What do you remember of your high school expe- rience? People... Places... You have seen them.. .touched them.. .felt them... Where do you go from here? Graduation. What appears to be an ending In Truth... A New Beginning. ... A Part of Me Shall Always be Here at WHS.

Homecoming All of the excitement of Homecoming '73 can be summed up with this statement. After weeks of preparation by the WHS student body, the beat of the tom-tom signaled the start of the 21st annual Ki-Yi Days festivities. After entertainment by a group of girls from the WHS music department and a pep skit by the junior class, the mement everyone had been waiting for arrived. Chief Ed Muitha and Princess Debbie Bies were chosen to reign over Homecoming '73. The traditional bonfire and pep rally were held in the old ballpark following the coronation ceremony. Ki-Yi Days continued September 14 with students hustling to finish floats, paint signs, and squeeze in last minute band rehearsals before parade time. At 1:30, the American Legion color guard led the parade down the streets of Woonsocket followed by the royalty car with Chief Ed, Princess Debbie, and their attendants Corwyn Tiede, Mary Krog, Brad Van Leur, and Patty Weber. The Freshmen captured 1st place honors with their float The Morning After. That night, the mighty Redmen crushed the Wolsey Cardinals 54-6 on the gridiron. Halftime entertainment was provided by the WHS marching band under the direction of James Fulton. Special recognition was given to the royalty at halftime, also. Following the game, the Student Council hosted a Homecoming dance featuring the ' Silent Majority of Madison. The dreams of the Class of '74 were realized in Homecoming '73.
