What We Wore

The 1970 Sandpiper Yearbook Dedication

American youth, expressing its opinions on political conflicts and marching for peace and equality, can no longer be accused of apathy and complacency. Today, a significant number of young men and women are coming to the front, striving to create a better society, a society free from hypocrisy, prejudice, poverty and war.  The younger generation is no longer satisfied to remain silent and is finally claiming its citizenship in the world community.  Since the destiny of our nation and the future of the world depends upon the continued pursuit of our ideals, we, the Class of 1970, dedicate our yearbook to Youth.
