Two of the basic composites of any good picture are focus and perspective. The staff and the editors of the 1954 Athenian-50th of its line-have attempted to obtain the focus, the mellowing years which lie ahead must furnish the perspective. If our efforts are suc- cessful, and if the years ahead are kind, the result will be a true picture, a graphic re- cording of the events experienced by the class of 1954 while at Crawfordsville High School. People as a rule do not fully appreciate events which are contemporary with them, or to word it in another manner, We can't see the forest for the trees. Years hence we'll ,- Q ,E yyyc . vw. o .s l l ggfffg ,,. ,ft- perhaps leaf through our yearbooks, and then the days at C.H.S. will be seen as a whole rather than as a disconnected parade of events. Our Alma Nlater will stand revealed-peru mit us the hazard of a prophecy-as being more than inanimate mortar and stone. lt will be warm and alive because of the many personalities which have been shaped within its confines. Teachers and administrators, students in quest of something, students in quest of nothing, students appreciative, and students unappreciative-all these were a part of the Civille picture edition of 1953-54.

e Focal Point Physically, Crawfordsville junior-Senior High School was organized on the tln'ee-three plan, all classes housed in one building. The history of our school, as a public school, goes back to 18739 and the first class of graduates went forth in 1877. Since that time some 5,61S have been granted diplomas from Craw- fordsville High School. As the 1953-54 school year drew to a close, 1,095 students were enrolled at C.H.S. Our school was a comfortable appearing edifice, exhibiting a look of wear with care. Before school, during school, after school, and at countless other times it was the focal point around which many Athenian lives revolvedg and as the day of June :Znd drew near, some 13:2 seniors made ready to sever themselves from its routine. YVe were tempted to say 'Kseyered from its inHuencev but that cannot be. Its influence was to be felt for more years than we knew. Page T11 ree
