DEDICATION We, the senior class of 1954, wish to dedicate this yearbook to our principal, Mr. George Wilson, who has played a leading role in our educational lives. To him we have turned for leadership and assistance; under him we have striven to become better citizens; and with him we have witnessed the coming and going of this class. Other classes will be most fortunate in having you, Mr. Wilson, as a principal and friend. May we thank you for all you have done.

To the Class of 1954: As we turn the pages of this yearbook and note the Shakespearean theme, let us consider the tremendous advances in our educational sys- tem. We see a change from the education of a chosen few to the free opportunity for all. It is regrettable that this privilege is not accepted by everyone, because in these days of atomic progress there is a de- mand for well-educated young men and women. Your graduation from high school is merely a first step. If the faculty has succeeded in creating in you an awareness of this task ahead and you are willing to face it, your years in school have been worth- while. It is not enough to have learned specific skills in academic fields and in shops. These are only tools to be used in carving out a place of responsibility in the world ahead. Use them well! A survey of our graduates indicates that many have reached the top in nearly every field of accomplishment. Way you aspire to a place in our Alumni Hall of Fame! Sincerely, Principal
