Out of the Harbor Into the Deep Out of the Harbor Into the Deep is the motto of the class of 1952. These words can be taken many ways, but the most inr portant to me is the one which means we are about to leave school and meet new people in new places. We are going into the armed service, into training for spe fic position, or to college. All of these places will be different foi s, they will be exciting, and they will mean new acquaintances. New friends of all races, colors, and creeds mean new views and new ways of getting along with people. We will grow to understand new religions, new beliefs, and new ways of doing things, and with all these changes we will need patience and understanding. The armed forces are no longer segregated and this means, for the boys in the class, learning to accept people with different backgrounds and ideals. It is also true for those who go to college, or, in fact, into any sort of position. Will this new life make us better citizens, or will we become prejudiced against the rest of the world? If we leave school with a closed mind, unwilling to accept new methods and habits, we won’t be able to take advantage of the opportunity to learn the things which make life more interesting and meaningful. There will be some things we cannot accept, but if we acknowledge them, no one can expect more of us, can they? 1 am glad my class chose this motto, because 1 believe that in the years that follow our graduation we will remember that a sound ship and a wise captain can make the journey safe, but only a captain that is brave enough to explore new waters can make the journey interesting. Caroline Gerald Editor-in-Chief Class Poem ot 1952 Four short years we’ve been together, Working, playing, having fun. Now the time is coming closer, When our high school days are done. We have struggled ever forward. Testing, trying to achieve. Always with a goal before us, Our diplomas to receive. When in June we will be leaving, To separate and go our ways, We always will remember, The good times of high school days. Clifford Dixon Class of 1 952
