f So What’s ' new? Wk&m By Susan Ray The old «stablished statement is that one who writes, or speaks, with authority must possess the qualifications wherewith to do so. Now, ! must confess, the only thing that qualifies me to present an opinion on the recently published “Silent Cry” is the fact that I am a member of that most egotistical of egotistical species, homo-sapiens. Four years ago we, the Seniors, stepped into a kaliedoscope of sights, sounds, and sensations that we had never before ex perienced. We were called “freshman" and those above us looked down at us as children. And we were: we were children compared to what we are today - four years later. As we step across the field to receive our sheepskin we can look back and smile and maybe with time even laugh again at the fun and crazy things we did ... and just maybe the loss of what could have been a beautiful yearbook will not even be remembered. When was it that the yearbook ceased to be in any way a reflection of the times? The student, sup posedly, is the ID of the school's personality ... the EXPERIENCED LIVESTOCK MAM We are looking for the right man for Sales Supervisor in this area.

On the other hand you must admit that every generation needs a good, lively exception. There is such an obvious need for new forms capable of sucessfully capturing today’s reality. Wouldn’t it be an ac complishment if our in dividual groups could do this instead of becoming preoccupied with chasing their own tail, catching it, and gnawing away at it. As every one knows, this kind of exercise carried to excess, will stunt the school’s growth. Sure - brand-new ideas are hard to come by. But I imagine that something very peculiar is going on. It’s as if someone had raised the question of what it takes to be a real person, and the rest of us accepted it without noticing. And so we find an aspiration gap. What we are as in dividuals and groups falls short of what we now con sider normal. In the past decade, Ferry High School, has more than doubled in enrollment, in its number of faculty and buildings. But along with this quantity, we are striving for quality. It must have quality, it must have heart as well as head, and it must have ideals which are not listed in its publications but which mean something to its students, its faculty and administration. You ask, “What is a “Silent Cry?” I A bottomless gallery of familiar persons: a great building on the horizon; I saw a profusion of studious indivuduals, couples, and then a surprised face. You arrive at the conclusion that you’ve just met a stranger standing on the bleak sidewalks of the city. And for the time being the sidewalk is just a track to get them under some sort of electronic guidance system. Pretty neat - huh? Be sure and look over the “Silent Cry” you might decide that it is truly an exceptional exception or you might consider joining the radicals who want to picket.
