JlUtte Hook Senior dlcc h School The Mott Beautiful Hiyh School In America and Park Strcete Little Rock, Arkansae Phone 5-1285 May 1, 1953 Dear Seniors: I an convinced that the pioneering characteristics of our forefathers must be preserved in your generation if our American way of life is to continue as you have known it in your lifetime. Many of you can look forward to reaching your full product- ivity as an American citizen around the year of 1975 and have thoughts of retirement from active life soon after the year 2000. Travel and communication have so shortened frontiers that if you are imbued with the pioneering spirit you must consider the entire world and the other planets of the universe in your calculations, if you wish to reach a new frontier. If the we11-being of our nation is to be served and your future as an American citizen is to be safeguarded, it would be well to remember the physical strength, the personal courage, and the spiritual faith of our ancestors who founded this country. They developed character that was meaningful and left us a heritage that was far more valuable than the material results of their labor. Their faith is clearly shoY n by what they had inscribed on every coin of the United States, In God we trust . It seems that the big problem facing you on the threshold of entering adulthood is the preserving and developing of that heritage of rugged character which you have inherited. If you can do this, I believe you can look forward to keep- ing alive the leadership of our great nation and to living at peace with your fellow men in the world. Affectionately, JWMscb Jess YY. Matthews

How wonderful to be a senior! Seniors know everything and everybody (that is, if they wish to). Everyone becomes a senior in time, even a little of sophomore, if he studies enough. Seniors can do everything, too. Just read under their names a few of their honors and their activities. This book can’t tell everything, but it does give the high spots and the main events. Seniors graduate and go away, but they won’t forget LRHS and that of Tiger spirit, because they will always have this record of their lives here. Take a look at them! Aren’t they nice looking?
