DEDICATION We, the Class of 1953, dedicate this yearbook to our new principal and friend, Mf. Robert L. Amsden. In his first year with us at Columbia High School he has demonstrated inspirational leadership and a warm understanding of young people. Mr. Amsden has been quick to realize the qualities of our school; and since his first talk to the student body, he has encouraged us to take advantage of the rich oppor- tunities offered here. He has pointed out the many superior facilities both physical and educational and has urged every student to engage in some extra-curricular activity. Mr. Amsden has stressed the importance of the Student Council, and he has enthusiastically supported all activities proposed by that body. All of us have come to recognize the sincere kindness and deep sense of responsi- bility that Mr. Amsden feels toward each member of our student body. In one short year at Columbia High School he has made countless friends among the students. All of us who have worked with him on School affairs have witnessed his exceptional talent for leading young people. We, the Class of 1953, are both honored and pleased to be the first class to graduate under the administration of Mr. Robert L. Amsden. Vage Jive
