Ji ,I FCREWORD To you, the Class of l95l , the immediate future seems none too cheer- ful. Many of you will enter the armed forces or seek service in other fields to promote the defense effort of our country. The transition period which has normally existed between high school days and the beginning of adult life will of necessity be much shortened, if not entirely eliminated. lt is important in times like these that we all keep our sights high. The Great American Tradition is still in force. Almost any week, one may read a modern version of the poor boy from across the sea, from the farm, or from the slum, who through sheer pluck and energy, surmounts diffi- culties and rises to prominence or eminence. He is readily discovered in any field: in industry or commerce, in science or letters, in statesmanship, in churchmanship, in education or the fine arts. And the key to such success stories-intelligence, initiative, intense application, and ceaseless labor. The story is written, and re-written, in the lives of such well known characters as John Adams, Abraham Lincoln, Henry Ford, Edward Bok, Babe Ruth, Marian Anderson and numerous others. lt is true that it is not given to everyone to be great or even outstanding -but many more could be, if they would make the effort. At any rate, everyone can be honest, trustworthy, and maintain high moral standards. Class of l95ll Our Country needs outstanding citizens. We trust the years you have spent in A. H. S. have conditioned you to be successful, and to meet the high standards of citizenship so necessary in a Democracy, HAROLD C. STORM, Superintendent Best of Luck to You Alwaysl
