GODARD Principal's secretory Seniors of 1952 take this opportunity to remind the underclassmen that the lour years spent at Coquille high pass all too quickly and once on the threshold of life the people who have helped prepare you for the next step fill your thoughts with kind and sober memories. The faculty represents these people who, at Coquille High, assist and guide the students in their academic and extra-curricular activities. In the four years at the J school students have been urged to take advantage of the opportunities that exist in discussing and exchanging ideas with their teachers. The record that the class of 1952 has made is now written in the ledgers kept by Time. Erasures cannot be made, but the assistance and guidance given its members by the Coquille high school faculty will long be remembered. We wish wed taken better advantage of it. Thanks.
