To the Class of 1951 To you of the Class of 1951 may I say my final word. XVith you. as you leave the halls of Technical High School. go every good wish of mine for your happiness and success. Each class seems to have some outstanding characteristic. One class was outstanding for hard work. another for loyalty. another for cooperation. YVhile your class was deicient in none of these, it does stand out in my mind as a class with energy. The class of 1951 got things done. This was partly due to the class officers but they would have been powerless without the sup- port of the individual members of the class. Nly parting word to all of you is simple. Keep on in the way that you have started, Do things. You may make mistakes. but let not the mistakes deter you from trying again. Do things. Do them for your God and your Country. and for your community and for your selves. Keep on doing things and in the end, with Gods help. you will attain the success you deserve. WALTER T DURNAN

To the Seniors: I sincerely appreciate the honor you have done me in dedicating this. your Yearbook. to me as we both leaue the walls of Technical High. You join the ranks of a distinguished company of men who have made their contribution to all phases of life. Many you know by name and reputation. others are less conspicuous but no less useful to society. At the time of their graduation. they knew no more than you do now what the future had in store for them. yet they carried on in war and peace. As you go out into this troubled and anxious world. you carry no magic formula for your own problem. We. your teachers. trust that we haue helped you to learn some general principles of thought and action which will serve you well. Our hopes go with you.' ,IAMES W DYSON
