CJ R PRI CIPAL This publication of the school annual, THE CO-HI-AN, has evolved during the years into a task of considerable proportions. The finan- cial costs alone have increased Sevenfold in the last decade and a half. It is common knowledge that the members of the present Senior Class have contributed most generously of their time, energy and ability in order to make this year's annual a tribute to the school. They established ca- pable business and editorial staffs early in the school year and the efhciency of their organi- zation is reliected in the 1951 CO-HI-AN. lt is a pleasure for me to congratulate the members of the class and their faculty advisers for the successful completion of a diFHcult task. The reward for their labor is earned in the satisfaction of creating a record of enduring value. High School Secretaries Left: Helen L. Champlin. Right: Edith S. Moles- worth. Our Vice-Principal MR. ROBERT J. DORAN Our Principal MR. JQHN H. BURKE ITUR ICE-PRINCIPAL The last picture of your high school life has been painted. The world is now your can- vas. Your ability to apply the skills you have learned will determine the beauty of the pic- ture. The picture is your life. Many can make a livingg few know how to live. The model for your life was presented to the world twenty centuries ago-a model of humility, kindness, and understanding. School experience must have shown you that real achievement requires hard workg that demo- cratic living involves positive action and re- sponsibilitiesg that education is a continuing process, seeking and applying truthg that to live in harmony with your fellow-man and your God necessitates self-discipline and sacri- fices, but that no conciliation is to be made where it means abandonment of ideals. Courage to maintain these standards and faith in the fundamental worth of humanity are es- sential if our civilization is to survive. Mahi.
