We have worked hard and we hope that we will be paid for our efforts through your appreciation and accept- Tlw ance of this yearbook. I, Though all of the staff have contributed to the work of the Record, there are or a few who deserve special recognition. The clever drawings found throughout the book A are a display of Denny Coles and Ray LemieuX's artistic talents. Our editor, Sally Fadden, has led the way in making what we think is a success- f 9 ful yearbook. She has had in her hands the responsibility of gathering written material. correcting it, and assembling the pages in their final form. 1, 5 Ruth llexter, business manager. has handled the hnancial problems of the year- book. She has had charge of the advertising and the sale of group pictures. 9 Assistant editor, Nancy St. Lawrence, has helped Sally in the organizing of the Record and has had charge of the sale of subscriptions. D Although all of these people have had a big share in producing the yearbook, we must, however, remember that it took, not tive people, but the whole staffrw the writers, typists, ad solicitors, and our faculty advisor, Mr. Wiskup, who put a great deal of time and effort in making this book a treasure for the Seniors. We have all worked hard and hope that we have succeeded in producing an out- standing yearbook.

. . dll! mA0m8.j This is in the manner of being both a fore- word and an editorial, killing two birds with one stone, so to speak. First a hearty welcome to the pages of our yearbook. Pages full of memories, pictures of happy hours. Young lives pulsate between lines and the heartbeat of youth shines through every page. This truly is a record of days of toil and gaiety, a record of probably the most carefree and wonderful days of any man or woman. We, this year, are carrying on many of the policies and techniques inaugurated last year by Nathalie Kelley and her staff. We are continu- ing the hard cover and single issue yearbook. We are attempting to enlarge upon last year's Record by enlarging the printed size of the page, adding more pictures and more line cuts. So again we have striven to make your yearbook a memory book to treasure in years to come. Janus, pictured below, probably best illus- trates what I am going to say next. Janus was a Roman God, the porter at the door of Heaven. He is the guardian of the gates, and is therefore pictured with two faces representing doorways looking two ways. He opens the year and it is from Janus that the first month of our year, january is named. We as Seniors about to graduate also stand in a great gateway, about to step into a new year THE RECORD for 1952-Page 3 help us in our education to make better citizens of us. A new and modern building replaced the old wooden structure which for so long stood as a loved symbol to many, many people. The first class to receive high school diplomas in Littleton was that of 1877, which comprised eight stu- dents. Could those eight students have seen ahead to the forty-four pupils graduating seven- ty-five years in the future, would they have been a little in awe of us? I'm sure they would see many things to envy, and many things which might not be so appealing. They would envy our improved educational matter and our fine teach- ing staff. They would envy longingly our vast opportunities, but they would be very happy too for they would see how very, very far their school had progressed, perhaps the buildings had changed but still underneath would be the pride of belonging to Littleton High School. So we the seventy-fifth Littleton High School graduating class graciously pay tribute to the class of 1877 and to the class of 1927 - the first graduating class from our present building. And we should tip our hats too to all the many other classes which have in each of their individual ways added that little bit to our tradition, that little lilt to our steps as we thank each day the many, many young people who shared our books, our seats and the honor of belonging to L.H.S. -- a new era, indeed - of our lives. And it seems to me, that as we stand on this portal, most of us with eyes uplifted toward the great promise that the fu- ture holds, it is fitting that we should pause briefly and cast a glance backward at the past, not only our own past but also that of our school. Twenty-five years ago we were endowed with a new brick building. A new and progressive step was taken by our town to ' f if f' Ziffrnifffffio' 'ru' ff., abd if!! !

Previous classes have, to be sure, elected alumni officers, but after graduation organized ac- tivities as classes have ended. There has long been a need at Littleton High School for such an organization, for banquets, dances and reunions where old friends once again get together and share their happinesses and successes with each other, where good fellowship and brother-
