In e ' CTy undertaking there must be those who do the planning and exeeution, and who are responsible for sueeess or failure. We have fallen short of the mark many times, while in sehool, but alw ' ays w ' e have had fun and learned a ’alnable lesson; therefore, w ' e eonsider our high sehool life a sueeess. To Mr. an Pelt and Mr. Ilammaek, who provided guides and materials, and who eontiimally offered eongratulations for sueeess, eonsolation in defeat, but kind and wise adviee in everything, we gh ' e nmeh eredit for our aehievements. Under their guidanee, our sehool has steadily grown in numbers, even to o ’ereapaeity. Still, w ' e have not been depri ed of the ehanee to reap the utmost from our edueation, for progress has paeed need. As e idenee of this, our sehool has the new ' est of mate- rials, its largest faeulty in history, and the pleasant prospeet of a nev ’ building in the near future. It is therefore to Mr. Joseph B. Van Pelt and Mr. Theo T. Ilammaek, our friends and guides, that we, the Senior Class of 1952, proudly and with heart-felt gratitude dedieate the 1952 Virginian. Page 6
