dedication It Is with the utmost sincerity and highest degree of respect that we, the seniors of 1954, dedicate our year book to Mr. Charles M. Williams, who has helped make this year the most enjoyable year the class has ever had. We bestow upon him our sincere appreciation and gratitude for his untiring effort in being our class advisor, as well as being A. C. S.’s high school history teacher. Mr. Williams has been a magnet to which every senior has been drawn at one time or another to help fulfill our class activities. Charles M. Williams was born in Stuebenvelle, Ohio, and was graduated from Olean High School. He was graduated from St. Bonaven-ture and later attended Columbia University, Alfred University, and Syracuse University. He taught a year at Scio Central School before coming to A. C. S. to become high school history teacher and senior class advisor. This is his second year at Andover. And It Is with great enthusiasm that the class of ’54 gives this honor to Mr. Williams and hopes he will continue to teach at A. C. S. for many years to come.

fORGWORd Our school means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. It’s primarily a school of learning. English, math, science, agriculture, business, history, music, homemaking, and art are a variety of courses to arouse the interest of each individual student. But that isn’t all the school is teaching us. Responsibility, initiative, and private thinking are encouraged through discussions and participation in extra-curricular activities to fit us as young adults in a world in which communism and democracy are each striving for domination. As we look out into the world, we see many new hopes and new dreams. We realize that soon we are to leave Andover Central School. It is now time for our yearbook. May many happy memories come to those who leaf through the pages of this book. May our work not be in vain.
