GREETINGS TQ THE CLASS UF 195B AND CONGRATULATIONS TO THE YEARBOOK STAFF HE theme of this 1952 Yearbook. “Down on the Farm.” brings to mind those pioneer days of long ago when most Americans were farmers and the life of the people was a rural life. In those days, man defied nature and tamed it. He defied any force which interfered with liberty or with freedom. A real pioneer did not bow his head or bend his knee except in reverence to God or in loving care of his family. Nor did he compromise an issue or use appeasement as a device for temporary safety. Never did he give up his firm belief that personal liberty was not only his right, but also his most valued possession. Those early ideals have crystallized into the American Way of Life. In America today, we are still counting kindness, love and consideration for others among our virtues and we are still actuated in our life procedure by the service ideal. Our underlying philosophy is still based on the right of free men and their self-created institutions. Our most valued national leadership through the years has been by men of pioneer caliber. Whatever true progress there has been in government, business church and school, has been fostered by outstanding leadership in these various fields. We have been very fortunate here in Freeport High School to have had the guidance for twenty-two years of a man whose ideals and standards have been constantly high. Reared “down on the farm,” in the rural countryside of Ohio, of pioneer stock, and tempered by long years of school experience. Mr. Mansperger has helped to lead Freeport youth to higher and belter accomplishments. His reward is the success of those he has inspired, and his compensation is the inspiration which comes from such a reward. Class of 1952. as you graduate you are on the march with all American pioneers who have come before. Your study and all your splendid effort in your high school course and activities have prepared you to meet the immediate dangers and problems. It has greatly increased your efficiency. You have arrived at the place where there is real work to do, a faith to keep and an ambition to be worthy of your opportunity to be realized. Every one of you is vital in the struggle for better human relationships and happier human relationships. American youth looks beyond immediate situations to a new era just as did the pioneers of colonial times. May you support your faith in the permanence of American ideals and institutions by your best contributions to them. Congratulations to Mr. Mansperger and to the Class of 1952 as you go forth to new horizons which challenge your continuing effort for worthwhile accomplishment. Very best wishes for success in every endeavor. JOHN W. DODD Superintendent of Schools Page eleven
