My first year was spent trying a few gingerly flights into new areas of clubs, athletics, and class activities. When I returned as a junior, my wings had a few more feathers and I helped my class with two successful activities: the all class Christmas party and Stardust Showboat. When spring 1951 rolled around and I received my class ring, I could hardly wait for my senior year to begin. Ultimately as a strong and high-soaring senior eagle, I gave my school and my class much spirit and enriched my school by the proiects I planned: Full Moon Frolic and the first Student Directory. Now after my three incomparable years at Adams, I am truly ready to spread my wings and fly to great horizons. 1' , . 5 I K . .s 6' ' S E E I 5 E 5 S 5 5 1 E ! agnnamaun uuh wmmnmmwumnmmn umm1u ,,,,u ,Ju : r ,Y I MR.
