Of Thee I Sing - ll AMERICA, by samuei Francis smith Y C E, the Seniors of Eden Central School, in order to perpetu- ate the memory of those patriots who have given their lives ,g in l If X . for our country, to honor those who, today, are still fighting the bat- tle of liberation, and to pledge ourselves to preserve, protect, and de- fend the precious heritage of patriotic ideals for which they fought, do edit and present this yearbook, our EMBERS of 1953. The time has come when American Youth must make a new Declaration of Independence against the ideologies that threaten democracy. By our thinking and by our labors we Americans must exert constructive influ- ence in every move we make, for this means united advancement against those also advancing destructive forces. For our symbols of Liberty or Freedom we have chosen the following: cover design, the monument to the minuternen, those forefathers who stood ready to defend their country as we stand ready to defend it today, Ex Libris, the American Eagle, emblem of The Great Seal of The United States, denoting power in peace and war, administration, the torch of the Statue of Liberty, that lamp of learning that illuminates the dark corners of the earth, seniors, the Capitol at Washington, the beneficent face of a Q nation shining with justice and truth , grades, the covered wagon of the pi- oneer rolling along the hilly road from the Eastern gate of kindergarten to the Western gate of graduation, classrooms, Abe Lincoln, the promise of America to every man, regardless of his birth, the right to become what- ever his manhood and his vision can combine to make him, activities, the work, purpose, organization, drafting, and signing of all our famous docu- ments of history, athletics, Lincoln, the rail splitter, the embodiment of the purpose, strength, humility, and dignity of the common man in a demo - cracy, the good sportsman. Dear Citizens, we know that as we show in the pages of our book how our school is preparing us to be good citizens that our resolution will find ' an echo in your hearts: That these dead shall not have ' V died in vain, that this nation under God shall have a new H r mv birth of Freedom, and that government of the people, by the fl people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

BOAI-RD OF EDUCATIO Mr. R. Brindley, Mrs. D. Smith, Mr. C. Hobbie, Mr. R. Beehler, Mr. I. Weinar, Mr. C. Chelius, Mr. E. Peck. cw HE Seniors of '53 wish to express their sincere appreciation to the Board of Education for the privileges allowed the Seniors during their projects throughout the year. The Board have been most co-operative in their endeavors to promote, in this school, a self-governing student body. In much the same manner as the Board members are elected by the parents, so the student officers are elected by the student body. This expression of freedom is typical of today' s determination to live in a free world where public education for all is possible. Through the Board' s actions and decisions we have been allowed to hold Christmas, Valentine, and Halloween parties at school and two fish dinners to raise funds for our Washington trip. They have providrad buses for our field trips, most enjoyable of which have been our roller skating parties at Angola Ri , our theater trips to see Hamlet and Ivanhoe, and several splendid concerts at Kleinhans Music Hall. They have given the student body freedoms, so important today in our modern world, to show that they think of the students and children of the town as an intelligent, mature group, who are able to act wisely for the betterment of their school.
