Dunkirk High School Dunkirk, New York Clas of Nineteen Hundred and Sixty-Nine pre ent THE IVY TOWER Our joys and sorrows, our challenges and satisfactions, our successes and failures: by these we live, not in the number of years, but in the number of things we have done. It i not how long we have lived that is important, but how we have lived. A year is unimportant unless something worth remembering happened during it. The tides of these reflections are our , though the deeds are gone and can never be brought back. But through the power of our memory we can experience the feelings of those days forever. If we are rich in nothing else, we are very rich in our reflections. We would be the poorest of the poor if we had none. This ability to reflect is as vast as a wil derness, as far reaching as the universe, a powerful as the shining sun, and as irre placeable as time itself. Through them we can create roses in December, see happiness where once sorrow was, turn the winter of our dis tress into the summer of our joy. All thing pass: time, money, even friends,-nothing is ours--only our memory of things past remain with us throughout all our years. These reflec tions are ours alone-to others they mean nothing. No Shakespeare could ever put into words their significance to the individual who possesses them-they are in themselves the perfect novel, the purest poetry. Who could ever express tho e moments of greatness: cor ing a touchdown ... acting in the play ... cheering . laughing . a friend . These are our souls and our spirits. They are our link between the past and the present, the link between what we were and what we are. "Our life is like some vast lake that is slowly filling with the stream of our years. As the waters creep surely upward the landmarks of the past are one by one submerged. But there shall always be memory to lift its head above the tide until the lake is overflowing." Alexander .
