3n Memoriam KAY OVERALL Kay, who would have been a freshman this year, passed suddenly, without warning, on a beautiful summer day. But even though she went hurriedly, without time to wave good-bye, she left behind her many precious treasures for us—her smile, her gay laughter, the wonder and beauty and joy of her life. She’ll live in our memories, always and always. LETTER TO SAINT PETER Most Reverend Saint: I have been told you keep the gates of heaven. (If I am being overbold, I pray to be forgiven». And knowing well how busy you must be, I shall be brief. (My hand’s unsteady as an aspen leaf). When Kay comes- You’ll know her by her smile, her shining hair Touched with just a bit of gold. Her gay “Hello” may take you unaware, But I assure she means no ill respect. Fourteen’s so young! And if her halo tilts a bit, worn at a seemingly frivolous angle, Please keep in mind she is not used to it. That time will set the shining bangle more sedately on her hair, And give her dignity to wear. For your compassion, Sainted Brother, the gratitude of Kay’s Mother Eva Overall —Adapted from a poem by Marion Doyle

 Dedication Behind every dream come true there is someone who has thought and planned and sacrificed. Never would our beauti- ful school have been constructed had it not been for our principal, Mr. Guil- ford, sweating out hours of work; our board of trustees, under the direction of Mr. Pryde, giving hours of their valuable time; and parents and friends who were willing to go the limit finan- cially. To Principal Guilford, the board of trustees, parents and friends, we grate- fully dedicate our 1951 annual. Thanks for a wonderful school!

The Freshman Class, well on their way now to a successful high school career, started out the year, on the very first day, by wearing hair oil, no make-up, clothes wrong side out and backwards. The next day they had to come dressed as characters in nursery rhymes, and they were auctioned off as slaves to the upperclassmen. The third day the girls wore their fathers’ pajamas and the boys wore their mothers’ nightgowns. They showed very good sportsmanship all through the initia- tion. Climaxing the week was the Freshman Reception, October 13, spon- sored by the Sophomore Class after the Anderson football game. The frosh in their turn sponsored the Sophomore Return, November 10. after the Orland football game. The Freshman Class did not stay in the background for long, and they soon let the school know of their ability to keep up with the upper- classmen.
