Stevens High School - Red and Black Yearbook (Claremont, NH)

The traditions of Stevens had their origins in 1868. 7 Stevens High School is proud of its tradi- tions. For eighty-three years they have grown and flourished until today's student finds himself surrounded by ine traditions, in honor compelled to uphold them, and, according to his capacities, desiring to con- tribute to their growth. In every field of endeavor which constitutes student life at Stevens, these traditions, some old, some new, are to be found. These take the form of the high excellence expected in studies, the precision bordering on .perfection found in the musical organizations, and in the con- scientious efforts of our athletes, sometimes resulting in victories, always rewarding in sportsmanship. Social events, too, tradi- tionally set a pattern of good behaviour accepted by students and faculty alike. After graduation these traditions live on in the hearts and in the minds of devoted Stevens alumni. In the pages of this yearbook a sincere effort has been made to portray tangibly the factors that through the years have made great the traditions of Stevens. Theodore Lehner, Editor , .. N 1 fs .

In '52 a long tradition ended, and a new tradition began - Judge Albert D. Leahy congratulates retiring principal Stephen A. Doody and new principal Edgar L. Lord. To the class of 1953: I wish to congratulate the editors and the sponsors on their choice of theme for this year's Red and Black. Any institution of long standing builds up a body of tradition through its active years. Stevens High School is no exception, and it affords a wealth of such material accumulated for eighty-three years. I hope that this issue dedicated to the portrayal of Stevens' traditions will bring much pleasure to her alumni and for many years to come to the class of 1953. Most sincerely yours, Edgar L.
