FORE ORD This is the time of your lives, our parents have often reminded us as they have referred to our high school years. Only recently have we come to realize that these four years have been so priceless. There are so many varied aspects to this period, so many items to be remembered and treasured after graduation-those sun-drenched noons on the school lawn, the companionable confusion in the halls between classes, the end- less whirl of games and dances, plays and pro- grams, the ever-familiar faces of students and faculty. Behind all this is the classroom-the basic purpose of school, the fundamental aim of education. We, the graduates of 1952, are grateful that in E. F. A. we have had the opportunity of living and learning and the privilege of enjoy- ing the 'gtime of our lives.',

VICTOR IMPECIATO MARTIN HARRIGAN DEDICATIU Through their abilities as competent social studies teachers and football coaches, UVic. Impeciato and Marty Harrigan have both imparted knowledge to their students and advanced the prestige of our football team. Largely because of their assiduous efforts, our team was able to win the 1951 Southern Tier Conference football title. Besides fulfilling their athletic responsibili- ties, Mr. lmpeciato acting as head coach and Mr. Harri- gan as assistant, have inspired good sportmanship and school spirit among the students. The class of 1952 feels honored to dedicate its yearbook to these two men, not only because of their outstanding achievements in sports, but also because of their sterling qualities of leadership. 3
