MR. GEORGE S. GOODELL MISS B. DOLE To the Seniors: The occasion of graduation from high school is one of both joy, and sadness. Joy, because of the happy memories centering around the years of pleasant association you have had with one another, in work and in play. Sadness, because you have now reached that milestone which marks the dividing line between the past and future; the place where old, familiar customs and habits must be broken off, and pleasant as- sociations ended. But, no matter where your future path of life may lead, remember that a good character, and nobility of conduct are your greatest assets in the battle of life. As Shakespeare wrote, ‘To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.” GEORGE S. GOODELL Superintendent of Schools me J To the Seniors: I wish to congratulate you as you close the first chapter in the book which is your life. What you have done in this chapter, how poorly or how well you have done it, cannot now be changed. The future, however, is in your hands. The pages you write now are up to you. With the determination to succeed, with the desire to achieve, with the will to work diligently, with the ability to understand and to judge fairly, the chapters in your life should be ones of hope, happiness and success. , To all Seniors goes my fervent wish that you meet life well equipped to do your part in ae this world a better place in which to ive.

MRS. MARGARET ADAMS MRS. MARY DOOLEY Our Dedication We, the graduating class of 1954, dedicate this book to Mrs. Adams and Mrs. Dooley. It ts dedicated to Mrs. Adams because of her never tiring efforts to make our four years at Howe successful. She gave us hope when we were dis- couraged, taught us right from wrong, and gave us spirit to continue our work when we lacked it. But, most of all, she was a friend to everyone. It is dedicated also to Mrs. Dooley, because she taught us more than can be found tn books. She taught us honor, honesty, and the importance of having our word trusted. We say good-bye to them as teachers, and hope that the friendships we have made with them will never cease.
