Through the co-operative ef- forts of the P.T.A., such ac- tivities as raising funds for sponsoring the Senior Pal- ladium Party, securing loca- tions for Polio Clinics, enlist- ing aid for needy cases, plan- A ning community drives, and numerous other proiects lighten the burden of the school and the community. gizbicf you HVJIM, .9 .fbii U Mrs. T.

Q O 619 in oreuer gkwing 6146646 v C l'm forever blowing bubbles, Pretty bubbles in the air, They fly so high, they nearly reach the sky, But there, they slowly fade and die. Fortune's always hiding, I look everywhere. l'm forever blowing bubbles, Pretty bubbles in the air. Bubbles . . . as they rise skyward, they reveal to our minds the physical appearance of dreams. Like dreams, bubbles are fragile and unpredictable. lt is difficult to determine when they may suddenly burst or how long they may take to drift from sight. Some pass beyond our mental conceptions of the physical world. Mindful of these ideas, the 1960 Pylon Staff has chosen for its theme, Dreams , ls it not true that one's entire school life is engulfed in dreams? Freshmen -- young, unacquainted, and perhaps a little baffled -vis- ualize a future day when they will grace the campus as dignified Seniors. Pretty young girls dream of being chosen as Sophomore Sweetheart or the Annual Senior Sports Queen, Talented and determined athletes spend many hours after school to earn a chance to win a letter in their chosen field of sports. Some with outstanding ability gain the honor of being elected to the All Bay league Squads. Some students hope to be elected as members of the student government, while others, their sights set even higher, dream of outstanding scholastic achievements. As you look through the pages of your Pylon, we hope that your dreams have materialized in a way that will bring you happiness and succes.s. as Q oocb 0 O00 G O00 Q90 O Q00 CD O O O O

Mr. Vern J. Rice, Principal One wonders how it feels. to be a powerful force in the lives of others and how it appears to one who has guided and encouraged young minds to achieve personal and service goals. During his years as Principal of Leuzinger High School, Mr. Rice, this year, will have sent 6291 graduates out into the world. These people have gone into all walks of life. Locally, we have dentists, engineers, educators, busi- ness men and women, and homemakers who call Leuzinger their home school. We all feel iustly proud of the place that Mr. Rice holds in the field of education. He is known all over the state in educational circles as a wise educational counselor. He is known in our com- munity for both his educational leadership and for his dedication to community service. We, at Leuzinger, know him best for his years of wise counsel, his dedication to education's highest goals, and his enthusiasm to make Leuzinger High School the best school in the country. Mr. Rice, it is with utmost pride and sincere grati- tude that we dedicate the 1960 Pylon to you. 66 ream rain, eafie
