NIGHTINGALE YEARBOOK FOREWARD
YOUR TREASURE CHEST
Make for yourself a treasure chest, but not for gems and gold.
Fill it with things more rare and fine, as full as it will hold.
Into it... place your kindly thoughts, of friends whom you hold dear,
The classes, the teachers, the happy hours that fill your life with cheer.
And then if dark days come along, and your bright prospects mar,
Open your treasure chest and see 'how very rich you are'!

FAREWELL MALONE HIGH SCHOOL FROM CLASS 1961
