JAMES F. O'NEIL Prmcipal DEAR CLASSMATES OF 1953, In view of the dedicatory theme which you have selected for your yearbook, it is appropriate to reflect on the advantages and blessings which may be had by any citizen of Providence who desires to grasp them. From any of the seven hilltops one may glimpse the stately steeples calling to worship and the spreading college campuses inviting to higher learning. The viewer may turn in a half circle and spot lofty hospitals calling to the sick and countless school buildings in every corner of the picture. He may fill in the panorama with a mass of skyscrapers in the center and a fringe of rivers and ponds and creeks running at random. Every section of Providence has its shrines, tablets, and memorials to remind us of the valor and sacrifice of our forebears, to insure personal liberties for their descendants. Canonicus Square, Roger Williams Park, Esek Hopkins School, Sullivan Square, the Burnside Memorial all may serve as daily reminders of the bloodiest cam- paigns and wars in history, wars which were fought and paid for by your ancestors- citizens of Providence-that you might live and prosper. In 300 years our city has developed from a state of wilderness to a modern city of beauty, culture, and progress. This development has been achieved by the .sweat of the brow, by rugged self denials, and by individual initiative and enterprise. To preserve our sacred freedoms, to make our citizenry more cultured and enlightened, to develop our city and our state as our ancestors would certainly do if they were alive, it is the responsibility of you, the future leaders in our community, to ever strengthen your faculties-mental, moral, and physical-that you may combat the ills and evils and philosophies that beset the nation today. For every freedom won, for every privilege granted, for every luxury enjoyed, someone must bear a corresponding responsibility, and some individual or group must pay the price for the victory gained. , saw
