I ' FOREWORD Dear Friends: The year 1950 separating the first from the second half of the twentieth century has made us time conscious. We are at the mid-point of the most momentous century of recorded history. The “Gusher of 1950” with its unique plan of organization reflects this significant tendency. This book departs from tradition. It is in the form of a calendar wherein the events of the year are set up in chronological order. The art work, the lettering, and the entire composition of this annual is completely the work of the senior class. It is reproduced by a relatively new method known as offset printing. It is a personalized publication. It is a simple record of the more significant happenings of the past school year. It is a chapter of local history with special attention to the events that concern forty young men and women who are con-cluding their public education. It is a meaningful symbol of happy associations as well as a tribute to tasks well done. As time turns the pages of future calendars and as new symbols, new names and new events replace those of the present the value of this volume will increase’ May it ever occupy a treasured position in your personal library and remain a vital link in the chain of friendship that binds you to your classmates, your teachers and your school. As your principal it has been a happy privilege to have shared your problems and interests over the past four years. Should the future present occasions when I can be of assistance I hope that you will not hesitate to call. Finally, in wishing you well may I say that our associations will always remain a source of pleasant recollection and your continued success yield my most endurine compensation. 6 Sincerely, W. CECIL DAVIS Supervising Principal
