past and present IN wlil'l'IN1L ,mol T the school year. 1951-1933, we seniors have a dittit-ull job. Nlost of us tend to look in two directions. Un one hand we are part of something obviously newka Catonsville Senior High School in a new location with new customs and traditions. ln this yearbook. therefore. we have chosen to re- view. in pictures and in text. the first school year in the new building. We invite the reader to enter as we did in September and to enjoy with us assemblies and classes. games and dances and ordinary everyday activities. On the other hand, commencement puts us into the stream of Catonsvi11e's past. We are already part of an old traditionf one that goes back five decades. A moment of retrospection brings into focus the evolution of the school we are about to leave. If we look back carefully we can discern that small, brick school house on Winters Lane as it opened its doors in 1903. The next year we see five pupils receiving the first diplomas ever awarded to students of Catonsville High School. .-Xs early as 1910, the need to accommodate the ever-increasing student pop- ulation presented itself. This need was met by constructing a new and larger building on Frederick lload. This was truly a magnificant edifice, complete with a domestic science room and a manual arts shop. Some of us attended elementary school there in the not-so-distant past. Again, as Catonsville grew, the school grew. Now we see Bloomsbury Avenue graced by an even larger and more modern school. Wings added to this building in 1930 seemed to end this story of expansion. Yet this, the year fifty and two, has brought about still another change. Another school. surpassing all others. has been made ours. When we think of Catonsville Senior High, then, we know we cannot assume that we are either an end or a beginning. We are merely a short era, fortunate enough to be in a new building. Perhaps we shall live to see yet another. If so, all the material things associated with the school may be forgotten, as are, per- haps, the Casino, the Annex, the June Bug and the Spectrum. But . . . present always when these things are forgotten, will be a school, high in ideals and rich in tradition that will live forever. -Tue EDITORS
