®atlpr Edited and Published by the Pupils of A. D. Higgins Junior High School, Thompsonville, Connecticut Class ong “Hail, Higgins Junior High” (Adapted from ' ‘Hail, Pennsylvania ) Hail, Higgins Junior High! Steadfast and strong; To thee with loyal hearts we sing this song, Swelling to heaven high, our many praises ring; Hail, Higgins Junior High, to thee we sing. Hail, Higgins Junior High! Guide of our youth; Lead thou thy children on to light and truth ; Ne’er can thy spirit die, nor thy walls decay. Hail, Higgins Junior High, for thee we pray. Class Popm A school that has been treasured By those who have passed through. Has won the hearts of another class. As ’53 bids her adieu. It seems as though it started And ended all so fast; We tried to think, dear Higgins, That it would always last. You’ve taught us well for we all know. That life beckons backwards never. So under our banner of “Blue and Gold.” We point our steps “Forward Forever.” — Joan Luczai Class of 1053: This is the season when throughout the length and breadth of our land, young people by the thousands are counted among the graduates of our grade schools, high schools, colleges and universities. It is proper therefore that we on this momentous occasion accord to you, graduates of the Class of 1953 and to all other graduates everywhere our heartiest felicitations. Your graduation day above all others belongs to you. It is a day which symbolizes the departing of one era while at the same time beckoning to another which we can only hope will be both pleasant and fruitful. It is both a time for jubilation and sober reflection. It is a moment for re-evaluation of ideals, attitudes, purposes and objectives. For you, this is truly a moment of decision. God grant that your decisions in the years to come may be sound. Today, there are forces at work in this great land which if left to their own devices would undermine the very foundations of our American Way of life. Those of you graduating today must like every other American prepare yourselves to protect, preserve and perpetuate those high ideals which have made America great among the nations of the world. Cordially yours, ERNEST K. WHITE Principal
