SENIOR CLASS PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS Although many of us seem anxious for graduation to arrive, I believe we will all miss many of the things we have enjoyed for the last twelve years. Our teachers and parents have been cooperating in trying to teach us how to carry on after we leave school. We have been fortunate in having wonderful teachers to guide us and each member of the class appreciates them. Graduating from high school is one of the high points of most people’s lives. It isn’t the end of anything; it is just the beginning. The world is full of chances for success of ourselves and of the world in which we take our places as adults. As we leave school, I think each member of this class is capable of being a success in everything he or she undertakes. I hope my classmates carry with them into their future associations the spirit of cooperation and the sense of responsibility which we have been taught at Hartford High School. — Gordon Ramsay STUDENT COUNCIL PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS “Something’s hidden. Go and find it. Go and look behind the ranges Something’s lost behind the ranges; Lost and waiting for you— Go!’’ — Kipling To me, the words of Kipling express my wishes to the student body. If we do not participate in extra-curricular activities, we lose a very important and meaningful part of our high school days. The work, the sweat, and the friendships made are all a part of the sense of satisfaction that comes through working together as a unit on the many projects that the various organizations of our school sponsor. I urge each member of the student body to find some activities which give him a chance to develop his varied interests. The Student Council through its activities tries to give the student body opportunities to enjoy and learn at the same time through the many programs offered. The Student Council of 1951-52 wishes to express its appreciation to the student body for their cooperation and support. None of our plans this year could have been successful without your cooperation. I would like to thank all the Council members, the student body, and the faculty for their splendid help. I wish to next year’s president a prosperous and pleasant year. 5 — Marilyn Sleeper

SUPERINTENDENT’S ADDRESS Young people are the constant recipients of advice. Parents, teachers, and older friends have bombarded you with suggestions until many of you intentionally go against the advice given. Older people have made mistakes as they grew and in the hope that they can help you avoid the errors they made the advice is given. However, many of you feel that they speak not from experience but from unfamiliarity with the problems you face. One of the differences between man and animals is that a man can think in the future. He can project his imagination and see the consequences of his acts. Man alone, of all the living things, can predict the result of an act by means of reason. If you are so constituted that advice is difficult to take — substitute some thinking of your own. If, in spite of the above, you still make mistakes remember the old saying — anyone can make a mistake — only a fool makes the same one twice. PRINCIPAL’S ADDRESS To the Class of 1952 There is always a tinge of satisfaction, of sadness, of apprehension that seems to hover over me when called to give a message to a graduating class. You have spent many happy years together here at Hartford High School and will continue to spend many more happy years in various fields of endeavor which you will choose to follow. Whatever path you follow, do it realistically, for the growing temper of the time is unmistakable and its implications must be faced in a realistic manner. Best wishes to you all from the members of the faculty. — John A. Freitas 4 — Eugene Hoyt
