Supe1'imfc'1I1de1z1f's Message Congratulations to the Class of 1950. Your school life has been a continuous opportunity to meet new friends, play new games, read new books, solve new problems, debate new issues, examine new theories, learn new skills, form new habits and to develop new attitudes. In fact, so much has been new that it has been difficult for you to make satisfactory and necessary adjust- ments. After graduation you will have still more exciting adventures. If your high school experiences stimulate you to still further pur- suit of knowledge and eventually to a wholesome philosophy of life, you may expect a rich and rewarding journey. Your successes will give you a thrill and fill your parents and teachers with pride. Every time you improve yourself, encourage civic improvement, promote the principles of democracy, or render an act of kindness you will be giving evidence of good breeding and sound training. The world is expecting much of young people today. But more than youth is required. Brains, hard work, sound background, patience, balance, the ability to work with others, and many other qualities including a self starter are in demand. Here's hoping you have your fair share. More power to you. A. W. MILLER, Superinteuden! of Schools ALEXANDER W. MILLER Su perinlend ent Principafs Message To the Class of 1950: Your career for the past three years has been a busy one, as the record which you present in these pages amply shows. It is a record of which you and your school can be proud. However, the record is not closed with the publication of the 1950 Red and Black and with your graduation. You will go on through many more busy, successful and satisfying years, and your record as a class will continue to accumulate. As you go through the years and leave your school days farther and farther behind you, may the struggles and pleasures, the defeats and victories, which you recount in this book remain in your memory as part of the experi- ence of living by which you receive your education. The faculty extends best wishes for continued success. WILLIAM H. BRQWN WILLIANI H. BROWN Principal Sponsor, Sluflvul Cozmvil um! Slumjr Club DELLA MCALLEY MRS. DORQTHY F, HUGHES MRS. GLORIA M.

We have read many modern books instead of concentrating on a few classics. We have learned the arts of written and spoken language that we shall need after graduation, whether we go to college or into the business world. English stnrlenis listen fo Shakespeare. Sponsor, German Club LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT Our language classes emphasize national culture, new and old, as well as verbs and grammar. The French and German classes aim for oral fluency and mastery of language construction, while the Latin classes spend more time on translations into English. Master records help to improve our pronunciation. The language classes are fortunate to have the Hyde Art Collection in the city. French Sl'ZL6lit?11fS present a Pnppef Show. Page Seven
