PREFACE We are proud to be students of the first regional high school organized in New England. In fact, the Housatonic Valley Regional High School, as the only such school in actual operation in the New England states, has received national recognition as a unique educa- tional institution and has served as a model for many rural areas. The 1952 WHITE OAK pays tribute to the citizens of the six towns in the north- western corner of Connecticut whose foresight in planning and providing a superior type of secondary education has made possible a school building valued at a million and a quarter dollars and equipped to serve effectively the educational needs of some five hundred students in an area of 277 square miles. Now in its thirteenth year of operation and with its building completed, the Regional High School stands as a living symbol of the genius of democratic cooperation. As students who have profited most from the educational opportunities provided by Regional, we are deeply grateful for the untiring efforts of the Regional High School Board, the able administration of Dr. Stoddard, who has headed the school for thirteen years, and the generous and loyal support of the citizens of Canaan, Cornwall, Kent, North Canaan, Salisbury, and Sharon. - THB EDITOR. 1
