In my great country of France, every- one is happy when zee advanced students leave school, especially zee students themselves—and zee faculty.

Jdrftle Hock Sestiosi cttixjA School The Most Beautiful High School In America Hth ami Park Streets Little Rock, Arkansas Phone 5-1285 January 26, 1952 Dear Seniors: The graduates of 1952 may look about them in puzzled wonder as they search for a contribution they can make to this stepped-up world around them They see the industrial and farm life of their city and county expanded and increased by machinery so elaborate that one wonders at the ability of men to devise its complications They see travel made so swift and convenient that one can go almost anywhere in the world as easily as their grandfathers traveled to the next town They see entertainment brought ever nearer the audi- ence through movies, radio, and television. They see health and life expectancy continuously improved through preventive medicine and research And yet they see a world torn by jealousies and fears that no one seems able to control nobody knows what lies ahead in the coming years except that the chances are the generation represented by this years graduates will be called to participate in as tough a contest as the world has ever seen. Y here, then, can the graduates of 1952 make their greatest con- tribution to their community and to the world? '.There are the new frontiers, always so challenging to youth? Perhaps they are in the field of understanding of the adjustment of people to themselves, to their neighbors, and even to their distant neighbors in far-off places. The class of 1952 of Little Rock High School is peculiarly fitted, we believe, for contributing in this field. It has excelled in cooperation within its own membership and with the school as a whole. It is a class that is always conscious of the feelings and wishes of others. With its friendly spirit and sound scholastic achievement coupled with the promising qualities of leadership and sterling character exhibited by its members, we- look confidently to the future when the contributions of trie members of this class will help make possible a peaceful and a happy world. ordially.
