Someone, never mind who, once said: "N ever underestimate the
power of words."

If nothing else, that someone had great insight, for it is an
undeniable fa ct that when all else fails and all else is forever gone

and forgotten, words have the uncanny power to live on. All great
personages in history are remembered more by what they have said

at a given moment than by anything else they might have done, or
achieved. Thus phrases like, "Four score and seven years ago," have

come to represent eras in time as well as making the men who
uttered them immortal.

Even as other things pass into oblivion, words never perish. In this

same spirit of immortality, this yearbook's theme is "In O ur Own
W ords." It is our sincere hope that this past school year does not

simply fade into forgetfulness as a new one begins, but that it
instead lives on in all our memories for years to come, and that the

people who made this such a fantastic year are never forgotten. So
. . . read on and enjoy our very human try at immortality.
