Dedication It is with sincerest gratitude that we, the January and june classes of 1958, dedicate this yearbook to Mr. James D. Mcfflymonds. His earnest supervision has led us through the gateway to learning-toward a richer, fuller maturity. Perhaps we shall remember him hest not as a supervisor, but as a dear friend. Now that he is leaving Allderdice, we wish him a future of happiness. ll

The T ituu 3' Duughter The tita'n's daughter rises out of the white-'hot flames of steel. Three placid, blue rivers adorn her tunic. Robed in the green of her parks and the silver of her skyscrapers, This vision of the future holds her head high. With her coming, the storm-clouds have dissolved. Her ruby gaze reflects the clearness of the heavens. She lifts her graceful arms. In a flourish of fire, she sets free her winged heralds-atom-powered rockets. Into the skies the rockets zoom, Singing praises to their mistress with the thunder of their exhausts. A twinkling diadem of atoms sits upon her divine head, VVhile at her feet stand her sons and daughters. We are these so-ns and daughters. VV hile we are sheltered beneath the white columns of learning now, VVe shall build the future envisioned in our dreams. Then, when we have passed through all the gateways to our dreams, Our goddess of the future will become real. The Father 0 f the Future Gazing -out -over the nation, The -mighty colossus flexes muscles of steel. His lifeblood surges in three silver arteries toward his throbbing heart at Gateway Center. He fixes his sapphaire eye on 't'he skies, The clouds gathering about his brow. In furious torrents the rain pours down. Like an organ that peals throughout an echoing cathedral, The giant mo-oks 'the storm. His voluminous voice drowns out the thunder. Then, -his iron fingens reach into the clouds. He snatches -the jagged lightning and hurls it in huge, flashing over 'his rivers. The lightning bolts, stuck fast, remain as bridges. Spewing a fountain of molten steel from his furnace mouth, He cups his hands to catch it-he fiery liquid. He whirls t'hi-s white-'hot steel in-to a sphere. With a -powerful stroke, t'he titan flings the flaming ball upward. Flying heavenward, the gleaming mass splashes falling sparks. VV'here 'these sparks touch t'he earth below, New buildings, new mills, new sc-hools spring up. The burning steel globe continues its flight upward. Up through the storm-clouds hurls t'he incandescent mass- Up through the clear skies above. Out 'of this steel fire the future is born. Grander, more powerful than its giant parent, The new future shines, A shooting star in the eastern heaven of hopes. 10 arches
