By dedicating this 1954 Cardinal to you, the boys who fought so valiantly for peace in Korea, we students of LHS wish to show our appreciation in this humble way. Many of you have given more than a few years of your life; some have lost not only arms or legs but also lives. We, as workers for freedom in peaceful surroundings, cannot realize what a battle- field is actually like. We can only picture it as we read and hear of it. but we know one thing for sure — we're very proud of what you've done for us and the Koreans. Your forefathers fought for freedom too. right here in our own country. Nowadays you, the freedom builders of this generation, are helping other people gain what you al- S ready have; so they may know the advantages of freedom of speech, press, and religion, d and put them to work. C You have gone across the ocean and shed freedom's blood on foreign land so that such a land through your sufferings will give rise to its own people who will also know J what freedom really is. For all these things we want to thank you. The fight for freedom will continue and we hope there will always be people like you to continue so valiantly with out complaint. 3

Stan Kenton, Glenn Miller, Fred Waring-----these and a host of others are all perfectly fa- miliar to high school students; and most of this familiarity has come by way of the recordings,which these popular muscians have issued. Now, this does not seem to have much to do with the 1954 Cardinal, does it? But wait: think of a “record album ---perhaps a treasured Tommy Dorsey set, or a set of Waring’s famed arrangements, if you please, or any of a dozen other favorites-----and then think of the purpose of a yearbook. Is this purpose not to present first a photo “album of school personalities and then a “record of the year's events? When a person buys a new record album at the music shop, he first notices the album it- self, the pictures on the front and on the inside, and also whatever writing there may be. Then, when the album has ceased to interest him, he takes out the records one by one, places them on the phonograph, and proceeds to enjoy them. First comes the album, then the records. Or, in terms of a yearbook, first the album of personalities, and then the record of the year. Hoping that the idea isn’t altogether too far-fetched, the staff has planned the 1954 Cardinal to be one big record album. To be sure, it’s not a recording to please the ears; it’s a recording for the eyes---a black and white presentation of a wonderful year in Luverne High School. In future years may it serve as a reminder of the time when high school life was not only our major interest, but was indeed our entire life. In other words, may this Cardinal be a record album of memories, those golden threads which tie us with the past and give us strength to look to the future.
