GREETINGS TO THE GLASS (IF 1951 CONGRATULATIONS on the successful completion of your high school course. Your record of achievement and leadership is impressive. This is important for, as students in I'.H.S. and as good Americans, we work and play to succeed. If we have to absorb a few failures on the way. their principal effect is to sharpen our individual intell igence and strengthen our collective determination. Against this spirit and the faith it fosters in ourselves and in each other. I know of no force, however explosive, than can long prevail. Keep it alive as you meet the problems and dangers of life, civilian and military. In high school you have been successful partners in a great adventure which has contributed much to the tradition and activity of our school. The same elements of purpose, determination and co-operation will be your greatest asset to success throughout life. The Board of Education has made every effort to provide the best facilities for a proper education which will equip and stimulate each individual for the immediate duties and responsibilities which each faces upon graduation. Good character and good citizenship are our principal objectives. We hope your high school training will make it possible for you to enter readily into sympathetic cooperation with the best institutions of our country, and to promote our American way of life. Best wishes for success in whatever role you may be called upon to play on the great stage of every-day adult life. LEO F. CIBLYN President Board of Education Page eight

TO THE CLASS (IF 1951 rJ HE theme of your Yearbook—“Lt e Is A Stage —is one that has always fascinated poets, artists, and dramatists. So Freeport High School, too. is a stage and all of you are players. For six years the Class of 1951 has provided drama, comedy, educational features, and spot “fill ins” on the stage of Freeport High School, and has established a tradition of successful production in which stars, supporting casts, under-studies, production specialists, and maintenance men all have played important parts. Scholastically you have helped Freeport High School continue to have one of the highest regents records in the entire state of New York — 94.6 . Athletically you have helped win the coveted County Football Championship with a perfect season. And, as this article is being written, we are headed for another excellent season in basketball. Socially you have taken an active interest in all the functions of our school and have held up this tradition well. Every phase of school life is an act upon a microcosmic stage of life, where experience and training is given for the stage of the world. To attain any degree of perfection in a production, all concerned must have trained intelligence to analyze problems, extensive knowledge in num-merous fields for their solution, good judgment for selection of parts, years of practice in attaining specialized skills, a deep sense of justice and fair play, and a conviction that the whole depends upon the perfection of each detail. These are some of the lessons that the apprentice in the world of the theatre must master, and these are the habits and virtues that we have tried to develop in F.H.S. students. Hoping that we have done our part well, we send you forth to the larger stage of life with the assurance that you will do your part successfully in whatever roles you may be cast. So to those in the Class of 1951 who. on the world's stage will play leading roles, to those who will stand ready in the wings to help, to those who will provide the music in the pit and the artist that designed the scenery, to those who will make up the audience which observes and appraises, to those who will criticize and determine the players' fate, our sincere wishes that you each may play your part well and faithfully. We have spent many hours together in Freeport High School. We've enjoyed your good humor, benefited from your energy and vitality, admired your high spirits and driving ambition. Wre hope that to those five characteristics we have added experience, factual foundations, and improved insight; that we have helped you establish per-serverance and intelligence so that they may be used for further progress: and that we have given you faith in the future, and faith in your individual worth and value to that future. Keep continually before you the high challenge to make your education and your training be of service to your community and your fellow man. May your joys, your friendly associations, your aspirations and ideals continue to guide you to a useful and happy life. Best wishes for success to each member of the Class of 1951, in every endeavor. John W. Dodd Superintendent of Schools Page nine
