C MR. SWIFT-PRINCIPAL WE, the seniors of 1950, wish to express our deepest appreciation to you, Mr. Swift, for all the interest you have evidenced toward us, not only as a class but also as individuals. Through your guidance, reluctantly accepted at times, We have met the problems of high school and have solved them successfully so that we are ready to cope with whatever the future offers. The class of 1950 will never forget your deep concern about our welfare, your wise counsel, and your untiring inspiration. 1 You have praised our successes, sympathized with our failures, you have stimulated us to greater efforts. You have made us realize that at the end of our high school life we need to be ready for the Greater Things Yet To Come. 4

We 5 ,V forgive them now the strong hand that directed us toward school for four, long years. We overlook the stern word that sometimes took the teacher's 3 .f g part against us. We forget the battle of the books as it was waged at home.

He will learn to make himself count in the creation of the values that direct our society, and in so doing he will become the person that he alone is capable of be- coming. The home, the school, the church, industry, even the state itself- can justify their existence only by the contribution they are able to make to the continuous development of this child, and others like him, into purpose- ful, self-directing people. luv . 1 T212 1,7 ,U A NX We 5 Qi ' ,J ggvl ,275 22159, g, ,W v .Lydia Xftf W . fy
