Everyone at Langley was shocked and saddened for Dr. Mates was our friend adviser and leader, We can never express adequately our thanks to Dr. Mates for the things Lang' ley has accomplished under his leadership. He brought about many physical changes in our schoolg some of these are the installing of new shops and a new sewing room, new bleachers for both gym and field, and a public address systemg the renovating of the school, the installing of new administrative offices, and the beau' tifying of the court. Something we'll never forget was his, No homefwork over the weekend. The class of 1952 is about to leave Langley, but we shall never forget what Dr. Mates meant to us during our high school days.

The problems which come up in trying to run our school smoothly are brought to and met by the administration. We feel fortunate in having faculty members who instruct and guide us in our work, and who are also sympathetic and willing to advise when we have problems, large or small. At times we clon't seem to appreciate the work done by the administration, from our principal on down, but we'll remember always the knowledge and principles they have given us by their examples.
