No person has strived so faithfully for us, believed so conscientiously in us, and encouraged us so when all our hope was gone. We believe that she knows each and everyone of us better since she has worked on every project we have undertaken. Through everything she has kept her quiet, unassuming manner, her dignity under all circumstances, and her natural, even disposition. Throughout her many years at Albertville, Miss Brown has endeared herself to all who have worked with her. Never has she lost faith in the students. Our successes have been her successes. For always and always, Miss Brown will occupy a tender spot in the heart of every student of this class.TO THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1953 The Albertville School as we know it today, is built upon ideals of the past. These ideals are the culmination of efforts, contributions, visions and admirations of hundreds of students, teachers and parents. These people have entered the doors of the Albertville High School and received its influence. On leaving this school they have challenged us to attain even higher and higher standards in the desire for increased wisdom, enthusiasm and spirit, that long has been noted in the end products that this school has produced. As seniors of the class of 1953 you have the challenge of a record set by the past of those who have gone their way as Citizens of a great country. You have proven for twelve years your ambitions, desires, of what we feel you will be to your community in the future. This age you are living in is challenging you to preserve its heritage of a democracy. You must continue to grow in the responsibilities as citizens. It has been said that one generation well educated would solve the problems of the world. You have made a mark to this end, having arrived at the successful end of your high school training. The citizenship portrayed in this Annual is typical of your worthiness to co-operate for a job well done. You have as in the past contributed to the fine products of your school. I wish for you the continued successful accomplishments so typical of this Annual for 1953. May you review with pride the educational influences shared together in the Albertville High School. B. E.
