State College High School State College, Pennsylvania
Beside our school an old oak tree stands alone- strong, majestic, timeless. It is a symbol of State College High School. Many changing seasons have come and gone and left their mark o f time. Spring, summer, fall, winter- freshman, sophomore, junior, senior- only a moment of time in the life of a tree. Yet in that brief interval we can see a parallel between the old tree and our high school years. The young leaves of spring become the old leaves of autumn and from the timid young freshmen the staid seniors emerge. There is a trunk 10 support the many diverging branches seeking the sun of knowledge as our teachers encourage and assist us to develop our individual in!erests. The leaves and years move softly and we are aware of time and the changing cloak of the seasons. There are cold winter storms and the bright warm days of early summer. There are days of hope and joy and there are those of sadness. We have passed by the old tree w ith feelings of despair and we have walked with our hearts in the sky. Through these years of our growth there has always been our class, our school, and the old oak tree. The memory of these can never fade, for these were our green leaves of summer-may they be gold in the fa ll.
