CUBETTE A D ram a in Act s ALCE S f TE t-esen-toA by R HIGH SCHOOL 1 FOREWORD To help create and extend a bigger and finer spirit in our school by re- flecting herein the activities of the students, and to serve in years to come as a happy reminder of the days spent in Alcester High School--this is the aim and purpose of the 1951 Cubette. DEDICATION We are dedicating this annual to the most distinguished characteristic of our school, the spirit of friendship. It is an intangible thing, yet it is one thing that makes school life worth while. May the friendships which we have here acquired live on through the years. 2 CUBETTE ROW I: M. Jacobson, A.
