0 MR. WELDON HAGER A TRIBUTE is usually made to a deserv- ing person, a high ideal, or a hope for the future. In a sense, the dedication of this '52 Memento is made to all three. First, it is to a man who has unselfishly shared of his time, talents, and energy to further the standing of our school in the athletic field, second, it is to the high ideals of sportsmanship that this man re- presents and teaches, and third, it is to a hope for the future--a hope that in the years to come,ourathletic teams will con- tinue in the same pattern of fair play and love of the game that has been laid down by our friendly, modest, and capable coach .. . . .MH.

. . . hall ng The mighty Mississippi, famous in song and story, ever wends its majestic course southward to the sea, seeking there to find the fulfillment of its destiny. Due to its influence, a contented people have formed a thriving conmunity on the Hiver's west bank just below the city of St. Louis. Like the river that never stands still, these energetic people have seen that their schools grew with the expanding ideals and needs of the times. As a result we at Hancock were giv- en last year the highest rating possible for a school in our state to receive, that of AAA. Our earnest prayer is that this our high school may continue to expand its horizons and move tirelessly onward to meet its ideals as does that 0l' Man River on whose banks it stands!
