MA COWLQ . Enter-Welcome to your Yearbook of 1954! Life at Littleton High School, the gay happy times, the adventure, fun, excitement, and hard work shared by each of us unfolds through the following pages. We know you will always cherish fond memories of your school. May you experience a pleasing feeling of nostalgia as you leaf over the pages, recalling 'fold times, old books, old friends. For me, personally, my year as editor-in-chief has been a great experience. With the co-operation of the staff, plans for composing the book have been an interesting assignment, as well as a most satisfying one. Especially to the Seniors we wish all good luck as they leave this building which has been their studying home for four short wonderful years. We hope that the years to come may be as successful as those through which we have just passed. How many times we have gazed out at the sapphire sky dancing with buoyant clouds and wondered about our future! The past though usually nice to remember is over and done with and now just a page in memory. The present is constantly with us, but tomorrow! Ah, we have made that our dreamer's paradise- no hope too foolish, no goal too high! Yes, we have enjoyed these rosy dreams but now as we graduate we realize that we are facing stern reality and as the American citizens of tomorrow we should truth- fully ask ourselves what share we shall take in perpetuating our dynamic civilization. We know that all of us will be facing many problems and that there will be difficult decisions to make. The fight between the free nations and our communistic foes is being intensified, and although a wave of weariness may come over us we must ever press forward. If we, as young graduates, can be made to feel the spirit of service and the warm inner satisfaction that comes from such service, then there will be hope in meeting our responsibilities as workers in the great democracy for which we all yearn. We must realize that our youthful dreams may not work out as we have hoped, but let us always remember that materialistic gain does not count in building charac- ter. Faith, hope, and joy remain with us as enduring attributes. As our paths separate let us ever keep in mind the words of this closing poem, written by Samuel Valentine Cole: 'fNor fate, nor chance, nor any star commands Success and failure-nought but your own hands To fail, and fail again, and none the less Keep faith and heart,--that also is success To gather gold or fame and be not true To truth and self, oh, that is failure too.'l .lorofdea album Editor .--7..
