Greetings to the Class of 1951 Once in a while a class enters senior high school with seemingly no special accomplishments, and perhaps termed by those who care to bother, as just an average group of students. Neither geniuses nor black sheep, they quietly yet determinedly make a place for themselves in their new school life. They may be tolerated and sometimes ignored by school mates. Then, sometime later, in the spring of their last year we begin to check over their names on the diploma list. Right then we pause and begin to reflect. We glance back over the names, John, Mary, Joe, Betty, and read on through the list. Suddenly we realize that a minor miracle has taken place. It is not merely that immature boys and girls have become young men and young women that surprises us, but it is more the realization that a group of unheralded and almost unknown under- classmen have so quietly and so quickly won the respect and liking of so many of us. Their strength is their fundamental decency. Their pride of school, their ability to lead, and their desire t leave behind them something better for those who follow, are their contributions to this high school. No wonder, that in pausing to reflect over that list of names, we feel that young people can rise to any occasion, meet any challenge, and almost dumfound some of us who think we understand them. Believe me, such recollections are precious. E. J. Mansell Mrs. Monty Savers Office Secretary Maureen fy % r - PRINCIPAL OF DUBOIS AREA JOINT HIGH SCHOOL Mr. E. J. Mansell Y W LA
