FCDREXXXOIQD The theme of the 1952 Blue and Gold is The Best Years of Our Lives. This yearbook is the closing chapter of four years of high school life-four years that truly were the best of our lives! When we look back many years from now, the good old school days at G. H. H. S. will stand out vividly in our memories. The friends we made are a part oflthat memory, as are the good times-dances, parties, hay rides, football and basketball games-and the big events like the plays and the prom. Every one of the Seniors will leave with his or her individual memories. We hope this yearbook will serve as a reminder to the Seniors of the best year of their lives-their last year. And we hope it will help the underclassmen remember one of the best years of their lives. 3

DEDICATICDN For twenty-nine years the Grand Haven Public School system has grown under the leadership of Mr. Earl H. Babcock, who is retiring this year. This growth, very obvious in the size of buildings, number of teachers and of pupils, is just as great in the adequacy and quality of education offered to all of the people of Grand Haven. In addition to his work here, Mr. Babcock has been prominent in the work of the Michigan Education Association of which he was president. I-Ie has also served on many state educational committees, especially those interested in making school law. Mr. Babcock was the first superintendent to be awarded an honorary life membership in the Industrial Education Society of Michigan for his contribution in the Held of industrial education. With a sincere appreciation of the fact that we have had better opportunities for education because he was superintendent, we, the Class of '52, wish to dedicate this Blue and Gold to Mr. Earl H. Babcock. We wish him the best of luck and happiness in the future. 5
