This stranger wanders into his alma mater, Harris-Eb more High School. Looking through some records he comes across an old, faded paper. Wiping the dust off, he discovers it to be the composite picture of the class of '51. The first picture to catch his eye isthat of the president, Louis Neeb. l wonder what became of hirn, the stranger says. As he ponders, the voice of the school comes out of the still quiet. Listen, my son, while the tale l unfold of the classmates you knew in those days of old. Louie there has guided the fighting Bulldogs throu h twelve undefeated seasons of football and iasketball.

Our first six years were spent in learning the fundamentals and finding ourselves. During these years we were very proud of our classmates who appeared in three oper- ettas and who found a medium of expression through poetry. Our junior high years passed rapidly and soon we were gradu- ating from the eighth grade. Commencement exercises were held. at Oak Harbor High School. Our freshman year waSn't all it was cracked up to be, butwe managed to get by. The sophomore year passed, and then we were juniors. The junior year was one of work. We put on the play MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME. The proceeds were used to give the Junior -Senior Prom. Our theme was Land of Enchantment. It was the last and one of the prettiest proms to belheld in the old auditorium. All too soon we were seniors. The juniors honored us with the banquet and prom in May. Then came Baccalaureate andthe Commencement Exercises. We are proud to be the first class to graduate from the new auditorium. Now we are on our own, and we bid a sad farewell to the friends and teachers who have protected and guided us for the past twelve years. -,T-41-I Z-,....--1 f , -l ., '-YY ,-- L f 1 l l f i 'I
