,479 ' 7 Q In the ever-changing world of today each individual has an increasingly important role to play. Events of world significance occur daily. affecting the lives of people every- where. That is why we feel that this has been an important yearg important not only to us who are about to move into the world actually on our own for the first time, but also to citizens of every country and territory of the world. While our yearbook is a portrait of this important year as it unfolded for us here within the school. a year of important events evolved beyond the limits of the classroom. many of which were at work shaping our futures. A new kind of movies called 3-D came out and a stereopticon craze swept the country. Colored television finally became a reality. A jet plane soared through the sky at 1.327 M.P.H.. twice the speed of sound. In the field of literature 'fThe Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale was a top seller. Winston Churchill. Prime Minister of Great Britain. was announced as the winner of the Nobel Prize for literatureg General of the Army George C. Marshall. who has served as Secretary of State. Secretary of Defense. and Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces. was announced as winner of the prize for peace. . On the political front Dwight D. Eisenhower was president, and John Foster Dulles. Secretary of State. attended a series of international conferences. The split in the ranks of the Democratic Party remained while the Republican Party divided on issues of power of the executive and McCarthyism. The general cost of living remained above normal with some prices climbing to new high levels, notably the price of coffee. After a little more than three years of fighting by United Nations troops to maintain freedom and put down communist aggression in Korea. an armistice was signed at Panmunjon. Korea, in July of 1953. To us who are now about to move out into the world. this year has been important not only because of its national significance but also because it has been our last year in high school. In high school we have learned to apply ourselves to a diversity of activities and studies. we have learned better to understand the world. our country, and our government, but most of all we have learned to win friends and to cooperate with one another. This has been our last year among all our friends, many of whom we have known since our first day in kindergarten, our last year in which to decide what our futures will be. As we leave this building which has been our home for our last two years in high school, we take with us not only a preparation to take our places in the fateful march of national and world events but also grateful memories of everyone and everything connected with our school. Consequently, the Red and Black Staff has tried to portray for all of us in this, the 1954- issue of the yearbook, the scenes. friends, and activities that will linger in our memories as . . . A PORTRAIT OF AN IMPORTANT YEAR, OUR YEAR. 2 : El STEPHEN KINGSLEY Editor-in-Chief 4
