edccatcoK S(mho i We, the senior class of 1954, take great pride in dedicating “The Chief” to Miss Eleanor Emery. Through our years at Joseph Case High School, she has been very patient and understanding with all our problems. Along with her job as teacher, she is the school treas¬ urer, and has given considerable attention to all class accounts. Miss Emery has started many students on successful business careers with her careful instruction in the various commercial subjects. As we leave our high school life behind, we wish to express our appreciation to you. Miss Emery, for the helpful start which you have given us.

V We have attempted to portray pictorially, in the following pages, some of the highlights of our years at Case High School. Although graduation seems to be the completion of an era, actually it is the beginning. For some, it means becoming a part of the business world; for others, college is the ultimate goal. Whatever our purpose, we have begun to take our place in the adult world. We hope that this book will re-awaken dormant memories and provide a vivid reminder of high school years — one that will be remembered forever.

JOSEPH CASE HIGH SCHOOL The students of the Joseph Ca.se High School will long remember Mrs. Elizabeth Richmond Stevens. It was Mrs. Stevens who made it possible for us to attend this school. She gave to the citizens of this town, the school building, equipment, and furnishings in memory of her father, Mr. Joseph Case. Her gift was unconditional with the exception that it be named Joseph Case High School. Work was started on the school in June 1926. At the cornerstone ceremony on September 13, 1926, officials placed in the cornerstone a copper box containing papers and books relating to the building, town, and donor. The building was dedicated on September 1, 1927. In the fall of 1927, the school was ready for use. The first class graduated in 1930. It was decided in 1951 to build a new junior high school which would be attached to the present senior high school. The school was finished and ready for use in the fall of 1952 by students of both the junior and senior high schools. We are thankful to both Mrs. Elizabeth Richmond Stevens and the citizens of this town for making these educational opportunities available to us.
