THE EDITORS SPEAK To all who have in any way helped in the compiling and publication of this volume, we, the co-editors, wish to express our thanks. We acknowledge, with sincere appreciation, the untiring efforts of the yearbook staff, the cooperation of our advisor, Mrs. Pauline Norton, and the interest and help of the student body as a whole. Also many thanks to those who have aided us in a financial way. Our class, the second to graduate from Eisenhower, is keenly aware of the privilege, which has been ours, of attending this beautiful new school, with its exceptionally fine facilities. Not least have we enjoyed the unsurpassed beauty of nature as displayed in the area in which our school is located. It is our hope that as you leaf through these pages, in days to come, you may be reminded of many happy experiences from school days which might otherwise be forgotten. So let this book be your passport to memory-land and the many happy days spent at Eisenhower. 4

IN MEMORIAM When the word came through the uneasy hours of the autumn sabbath evening that William Allenson had so unexpectedly departed from this earthly sphere, a bit of winter seemed to settle within the soul of each one who knew him. A ray of life's warming light went out as each person grasped the truth that the pleasant and inquisitive lad whose thirst for knowledge was so well matched by his ability to absorb it had been snatched from our midst. Normalcy of life, as it had been known, would not again exist for those who knew and loved him. Within the hearts and halls of Eisenhower High School Bill still lives. We see his tall form in memory as it walked the halls and spoke to his numerous friends. We see him helping in athletics and in the music department again we are reminded of him as he worked the solution of a stubborn problem, experiment, or assignment. We hear him asking questions about the intricate details of the public address system. Our's will be a life long debt to Bill for what he did for us. We pledge ourselves to make his memory a stepping stone to greater use and appreciation for all now with us. It is our deepest prayer that in Bill's priceless life each of us we may find a strength to realize what an unknown author has stated as follows: How many Aprils had I known Before I kneeled to see Arbutus, where a moist brown stone And dead leaves seemed to be, How many autumns must have died Before I came to know That bright, orange bittersweet may hide Where wintry branches show; 6
