A E Dedication Over the years our community has grown and spread out over acres and acres of land which were formerly .nothing but fields. Houses and apartment buildings now cover the farm lands of past years. With this physical con- struction, such intangible qualities as traditions and ideals have also grown into the community and its people. Some of the greatest of these Mariemont ideals are personified in the faculty and administration of its high school. Since Mariemont High School lthen Plain- ville Highi was established, Mr. Robert A. Mar- tin has ably served its students for many years as teacher of advanced sciences, and now as principal. Past members of his classes in chem- istry and physics will long remember that knowledge of right and wrong which he im- parted along with Newton's and Boyle's laws. The never-to-be-forgotten trips that the Science Club took to Chicago, Detroit, and other cities of our nation will be a topic of conversation for years to come. In February, 1954, Mr. Martin gave up his position as teacher and assistant principal to take over the principalship. Since that time he has dealt with administrative problems in a fair and efficient manner. His friendly guidance has helped us in choice of studies and in bettering ourselves. For these reasons we, the Class of '55, dedicate the Chieftain to Mr. Robert A. Martin. 3 1

Four short years ago we stood, as freshmen, thinking that gradu- ation would bring a termination to all our problems, believing that this step in itself would be our goal, and beyond . . . well, that was but a hazy dream. We have reached that goal now, only to find that graduation in itself is relatively unim- portant, that point for which we strive has been pushed just out of reach. The realization comes that it was not this one step, but all the struggles and problems we overcame to reach it that will prove most important in later life. Commencement, yes, it is just that! A begin- ning that we dare to undertake only because of the basic knowledge of right and wrong that was instilled in us through four years of care- ful guidance. The facts we once learned may fail us, but if we have learned to think, to dis- cern, then we have gained a thousand times more than any book can offer. We have had the work, the fun, and the friendships, in using these we must keep a sense of proportion that our lives to come may obtain a true significance. So, Class of '55, we give you this book as a memento of that Senior year of joy and happiness.
