'iii- dfiidfanf fgrovlucer Congratulations to the group of performers in the Drama of the Class of '54. Each and every member of the cast deserves a special Commendation for the goal which they accomplished. To the directors of the drama. your parents, only the highest praise can be offered. Without their assistance, encour- agement, and loving understanding, your task could not have been accomplished. Again, I say, congratulations for a job well done, and success for all future tasks. A.f.fi.ffd?7f Principal eff? fa ry James W, Goldsworthy ul' pI 0JllC8l After surveying the attractive materials here, it is diffi- cult to realize that twenty years from now the poses, hair styles, and costumes in this publication will look as odd to the school generation of that time as those in the annuals of twenty years ago look to us now. That assumption, however, need not detract from our belief that this is the most outstanding aggregation up to this time and that we have set standards that will serve as a challenge to all future classes. My congratulations to the outgoing seniors and best wishes to those whom I shall meet again next year. Parker C.
