PRINCIPAL CARL L. GRAHAM More than one thousand individuals have contributed their services to create the history herein recorded by the Class of 1954. Each student and teacher endeavored, through classes, teams, clubs, and other small units, to secure personal achievement and advance the best interests of the larger unit -his school. May we recognize and appreciate the singular contributions, large or small, by each person associated with Mechanicsburg Area joint High School. At first glance, this volume is fundamentally a pictorial review of school activities for the 1953-54 term. Photographs alone, however, furnish only two dimensions. The essential third dimension de- pends on the imagination, the memory of the viewer. Herein is revealed the true value of the Artisan. Each photograph has varied impactfvictory or defeat, joy or sadness, pleasure or disappointment. However, the over-all effect as one scans these pages will be fond recollections of good times, good friends, and grand experiences. The Class of 1954, represented by the Artisan staH', is to be congratulated on an excellent pro- duction. Nlay your third dimensional view of its pages deepen with each passing year. Zz!

SUPERINTENDENT CARL R. KOCH W'e believe. as did Diogenes, that the foundation of every state is the education of its youth. All of us here have had the privilege of becoming acquainted with our fine social heritagefa heritage of liberty and law, of science and art, of language and literature, of morals and religion. In order that our world civilization may have stability it must be seasoned with the ingredients of righteousness, charity, service, and sacrifice. Its character and fruits will be determined primarily by the extent to which you and I are energized intellectually and moved spiritually to practice the Golden Rule, and to believe in the brotherhood of man. You have been taught the value of knowledge, adequate preparation, a trained mind, a healthy body, moral character, and a perseverance that triumphs over difhculties. As you draw on these re- sources with conhdence you will be equal to each occasion. lX'1ay your paths lead you to ever nobler and happier endeavors. Congratulations and our sincere best wishes. fd
