STACK FOREWORD : In 1952, the year of the Springfield Centennial, the yearbook presented Classical High School in retrospect, and we took pride in its history of more than one hun- dred years. This year the Blue and White has closed the pages of the past, and is turning the leaves of a new volume — Classical and the Future. Although Classical is, beyond any doubt, proud to be considered the most conservative high school in Spring- field with respect to its academic program, it is never- theless eager to keep pace with many modern aspects of education. Advancements in teaching by the use of records and films, the modernization of art design in the yearbook and art department, the founding of new school clubs, and the establishment of new activities, such as the Senate-Pierides Debate, are all harbingers of the future Classical High School. Despite the many changes which will occur, the future classes of Classical High School will hold and faithfully carry out certain well-established traditions, which have become so firmly rooted in the minds of each new class that they seem an intimate part of the school without which Classical would be d eprived of» in te we vital parts of its organization which has made it “the best school in the solar system.” As the division pages further illustrate, Classical will play an important part in future relations for interna= tional peace, through activities such as the International Relations Club and Classical’s outside interest and par- | ticipation in international understanding by its coopera- tion in the Holland Flood Relief and its affiliation with a the French School. In the field of international relations, the boys’ and girls’ sports at Classical coincide, in many cases, with those played at the Olympics. From in stances of proof in the present, it is safe to assume that in the future, the Classical students of the present wil do their share or more in promoting peaceful interna tional relations. In this yearbook of 1953, the staff wishes to expres its hope that, whatever the future brings, any chang from the present system will be a benefit to the student who make the change in keeping Classical High Schoo: the “palace of learning” it has always been.
