Jliltory of the C(ci5S of 1951 Prologue: During the dark days of the late twenties and early thirties, this nation of ours teetered precariously on the brink of bankruptcy. In Europe, which previously survived the bubonic plague, the hordes of Mongols under Genghis Khan, and innumerable wars, pov- erty and starvation were threatening to tear those monarchies apart. Adolf Hitler. Beni- to Mussolini, and other fanatics were scream- ing their doctrine of hatred and war to a very much puzzled and desperate populace. It’s certainly true that every good thing must come to an end. and. as classmates, we have come to the finish of our public school- ing. How many times shall we look back over the struggles we had as children, adoles- cents. and finally as nearly mature men and women ? We realize that the conditions of today will drive most of us far from the bosom of our homes, sweethearts, and friends. Therefore, it is with the utmost sorrow that I commence, with a heavy heart, the history of the class of 1951. Out of this chaos, our great nation was welded together by a common need, and emerged from the great depression the strongest single power in the world. Also in the early thirties, another bright light came gleaming out of the dark over- cast. Parents beamed joyously over baby cribs and declared that the world was saved, for it was during this period that we. the history-making graduating class of 1951. first saw the light of day! Although the sun might have been shining gloriously that September morn in the year of our Lord. 1939. the sky looked cloudy and dark to the boys and girls entering the for- midable brick buildings to try out for the first time the democracy of public schooling. However, it wasn't long before we found out that the ladies behind the desks were there to aid us. anti were not displaced demons and devils sent by dark forces to shackle and torture helpless children.
