 We, the annual staff and the Senior Class of 1950, wish to express to the student body, faculty, and community, our appreciation for their co-operation in helping make our annual a success. The theme of our annual is the “Half-Century of Progress , and we have attempted to depict the pro- gress our school has made in the first half of the Twentieth Century. We hope that this annual will add vividness to our fond memories of THS. 3

'DecUcatitot “To follow knowledge, like a sinking star, Beyond the utmost bound of human thought.' The poet's dream of yearning desire is now a reality. Progress is a fact. Although much of this progress if mechanical, increasingly civilization is taking into itself those practices and those ideals that make for elevation of spirit in the half century of progress now closing. Free public schools are giving childhood and youth a chance to develop nor- mally and cheerfully into manhood and womanhood with an equipment of training and mental and physical health that will afford them the best possible chance for success and happiness. There is no finer re- ward for hard work and an ambitious spirit than to know with assurance that the efforts of humanity are leading in the direction of progress. In this unceasing spirit of a half century of progress, we dedicate this annual to Mrs. Elizabeth Marie Krebs, owner of Grand View Gardens, who has con- tributed so lavishly to the progress of Tate School for the past quarter of a century. She has rendered unselfish, consistent service to Tate for many years by giving flowers to the graduating classes, decorating for Commencements, and contributing the use of her lovely home and beautiful grounds on many occasions. 5
