TO THE CLASS OF 1951: Many years ago an Indian Chief called his braves to his side. With raised arms toward the setting sun he breathed this prayer: Oh. Thou Great Spirit! As we close our eyes this night in slumber. Have we done enough this day To earn the right to live tomorrow! May this prayer be your guide! May you face the confusion of the world with faith and courage. Our demo- cratic ideals and institutions must be preserved. So live that others will be able to say. You have served your generation well: you have earned the right to live tomorrow'. JOSEPH W. HOWE. Superintendent of Schools SENIORS: Each year at graduation time our young men and women enter a world torn with strife and unrest. This is not a situation peculiar to the Class of 1951; it has been so for many years. The world today is faced with the problem of containing or destroying an ideology so foreign to our demo- cratic way of life that there can be no question of the stand we must take in this struggle. Let us have faith that RIGHT makes might: and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it. And having chosen our course, let us renew our trust in GOD. and go forward without fear and with manly hearts. With these words of Abraham Lin- coln firmly implanted in your hearts and minds, you will have taken the first step toward making this the kind of world you want it to be. Sincerely, ROBERT H. AX. High School Principal 7
