When I last revisited these books, as I have routinely done since I was a young schoolgirl, I was intrigued by the lightheartedness of the design and its irony when paired with such valiant class mottos.
My mother and I laughed as I acknowledged the charm of the layouts. She explained, "Its called doin' the best with what 'chya had!"
And that is the wisest bit of knowledge I have heard in a long time, which I now have adopted as my personal motto for my upcoming graduation from sixteen years of academics. Susan B. Anthony also supports my sentiments, when she said "Failure is impossible." And in summation of my extended years of collegiate experience, I know that the best I can do is try.
Be sure to browse the black and white photograph pages for my mom and future-uncle, as life goes on around them, (when they were dating before my mom married his brother...) and note my father as president of Future Farmers of America! Any relation to my goal of being a Future Farmer?
