    'fHE HOUR GLASS Published by The Senior Class of Fairport High School 1934 a '' The Hour Glass " is the emblem of human life Behold how swiftly the sands run VOLUME IX NUMBER IX T H E H OU R G L ASS Foreword THE SEA The sea resembles the human life, \Yi th its span of "ups " and "downs"; The ''ups' ' are the happiest times of all, The ''downs '' are the tears and frowns. At times, waves rise in snowy foam, As our spirits rise with delight, At times, like the stronger waves, we strive To rise to a greater height. But the greatest breaker of them all May dip low and stay at rest; Like life, a wave can not always be A beautiful, ever-rising crest. But whether you ride on the crest of the wave, Or yet, in the valley below, Leave your ideals high up above And toward them, eternally go. As a ship will conquer the waves of the sea, If we keep our ideals high, So will we always the conquerors be Of l i fe'~ ob~tacles going by. Martha Jane Morey '34 and Olive King '34 Page Four THE HOUR GLASS Dedication We, the Seniors of Fairport High School dedicate this the 1934 Hour Glass, to our mothers and fathers as a humble fxpression of cur gratitude for their constant love ard guidance.

    dSPORTS SUMMIT 2017 Dear dSports Participants, Welcome to the Memorial Art Gallery, and thank you for attending the second Digital Sports Summit. The University of Rochester’s motto is Meliora, “ever better,” and it’s a principle we live by as we help athletes of all ages and levels work to get better at their sport and build healthy habits that last them a lifetime. In the spirit of Meliora, we have built on the success of the first dSports Summit as we planned this year’s event. In 2016, we looked at how technology and data analytics are being used to improve sports training, and to predict and prevent injury. This year, in addition to sports technology and data analytics, we’ll spend the day exploring the ways athletes can use nutrition, mindfulness and sleep to improve their performance, promote their health and increase their enjoyment of their sport. We are thrilled to welcome former Buffalo Bills quarterback and NFL Hall of Famer Jim Kelly as our keynote speaker for this event to share his thoughts on athletic excellence, facing and overcoming adversity, and using life’s lessons to improve the lives of others. Jim Kelly will be joined by an impressive lineup of dSports speakers and panelists. They have trained some of the world’s greatest athletes, developed revolutionary sports technologies and researched new ways to treat and prevent concussion and other sports injuries. We’re proud to bring together many of the nation’s foremost experts in sports performance, sports technology and health to the second dSports Summit.
