We, the graduating class of 1950, proudly dedicate our school yearbook, the Mirror, to our parents. We wish them to know that throughout our high school days we found our parents to be wise and willing counselors, always guiding us towards higher ideals. They realized from their own experiences that the only road to success in life is paved with an educational background, and so they gave us all the benefits of education. Parents are storehouses of information too. Whenever we desired the solution of a problem or merely a suggestion for a theme, Mother or Dad usually had the answer. On many oc- casions it was their keen understanding which helped us to overcome a troublesome situation. Sure, there were times when we disagreed with the views of our parents, but more often than not, we found that their good sense turned out to be the wiser policy. As we look back over our high school days, we should certainly be grateful for parents who said a firm no once in a while. All of these acts, large and small, contributed to our success and happiness in Columbia High School. Therefore, we wish to express now to each parent our appreciation for helpful guidance in our school career. With the mental and physical attributes which they have given us, we, the seniors of 1950, are ready to step on further into life.
