A Message From the Supervising Principal IT IS A PLEASURE to make this contribution to the 29th volume of the Blue 6 Gold, product of the Class of 1951. The addition of this yearbook to the archives of the school will be a welcome one. Although this marks the end of your public school career, we trust that it represents only a beginning of an adventure in learning that may continue for a lifetime. On the proscenium in your auditorium is the quotation from Petronius- Education is a treasure and culture never dies. Keep this thought alive in your heart as you march down the corridors of time. Best wishes to you all for a bright, busy and rewarding future -f one that will always be best experienced in a free and liberty-loving America. PAUL S. CHRISTMAN 7

We, who have already enjoyed some of these facilities, know that the future classes will be sincerely apprecia- tive of the progressive steps made through the efforts of Mr. Christman and the school board. 6

V A Message From Our High School Principal YOU, the members of the Class of 1951, are graduating during a period of unrest and uncertainty, This throws much responsibility upon you as indiv- iduals, as well as doubt concerning your future. The question of the day is democracy versus communism. We are fighting to save democracy today just as much as at any time in the past. It is therefore the duty of all good Ameri- cans to take their stand for that which they believe and enact those citizenship duties for which the American education system has prepared them. I am sure all of you will accept the responsibilities placed upon you and do your part faithfully and courageously in defending your country or in civilian employ. Your passing from high school is at a time when opportunities are plentiful for all who wish to further themselves. Many new fields of endeavor are open- ing to those who have ambition and vision. The world of work, however, re- quires sacrifice and persistence if real success is to be achieved. I am sure that the Class of 1951 has just the necessary characteristics to be those worthy citizens of which our country is in much need today. Be the kind of an in- dividual who will be a credit to your country and to your school. PAUL E. HARTRANFT 8
