Page 6 text:

Dedication To the Merchants of Laingsburg and surrounding cities we take pride in dedicating the 1951 edition of The Lookinc Glass. Through their generosity our yearbook has been made possible. Possibly more than anyone else, the merchants are called upon to contribute to many events, and, speaking from experience, we know that these people have gone out of their way to cooperate. May we simply, but sincerely, say to them THANK YOU. And we wish the people who turn the pages of this book to know that by patronizing the establish- ments listed here, you are dealing with a group of people, who in our estimation are really “tops” in every way.

FOREWORD Th,s was the year of the jammed corridors, the championship football team and the new band uniforms. It was the year “we got the new gym” and the staggered lunch periods. It was also the year when The Looking Glass for the first time became a large-sized book. The Looking Glass has a purpose—to serve as a collection and a refresher of memories. As we turn the pages of the book we will meet in pictures the members of the faculty, our classmates, and friends. We will again review the athletic prowess of our football, basketball, and baseball teams. We will remember our classes, our “big” moments and “just plain fun.” And if in future years, a dusty copy of The Looking Glass will recall to you the year of 1951 and reproduce the atmosphere described above, then it has served its purpose.
