dzlo ' As we leave Chartiers, we begin to realize the value of our years spent here. We have gained not only in knowledge and in stature, but also in experience. Also we realize that without the patience and fore- bearance of our teachers and parents, we could not now take our places on the roster of the graduating class of 1951. We do not take our leave as gladly as we had thought we would way back when! -but rather thoughtfully, attempt- ing to look ahead into the future which will be our years of fulfillment. We know that as we shall look back on the days spent here, we will remember most vividly not the serious things in our school lives, but mostly the brighter, humor- ous happenings of those days. We'll re- member the little things-such as the time Assistant Editor NORMA JEAN RECK Editor RODNEY MILLER when one of our aspiring classmates re- moved one of the gas iets in the science room, or when another of our innocent brothers accidentally turned in the fire alarm, and back in our Junior year, we ye- member the minor explosions in Chemistry class. We will never forget these incidents and, in years to come, they will remind us of our eventful school days. lt is generally thought that America is facing a crucial period in its history. We believe that Chartiers has prepared us ably for the decisions we must make in the fu- ture. We will try to maintain the Chartier- ian ideals of living and to be a credit to the America of which we now become an active part.
