MR. HENDRICKSON MR. STREET MR. ELLIOTT PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE It is generally accepted that the main purpose of secondary education in our American democracy is to meet the educational needs of all youth of secondary-school age. These youth have both common and individual educational needs, such as the need to learn to live with others, to achieve and maintain sound mental and physical health, to think logically and to express themselves clearly, to use their leisure time well, and to prepare for work or further education, or both. It is the hope of the administration and the faculties of the Merrill, Henley and Malin High Schools that the students of these high schools have been provided with those experiences which will lead to their achiev- ing for themselves the satisfaction of years well spent in their respective schools, whether their future years find them in some agricultural or indus- trial pursuit, in the armed forces, or in the furthering of their school train- ing in institutions of higher learning. That the 1953 ME HE MA will recall many pleasant experiences of these years in high school is also the wish of the ME HE MA staff.

FOREWORD . . . We may look into the sea of time and sec the reflections of the past. They arc somewhat diffused and misty in times of war and chaos. They rarely reflect in their depths the peace and tranquility of the ages gone by. In these constantly shifting waters, the present is like a mirror before us, changing as the tide of events changes. And looking forever into this deep blueness of life, we grow dizzy trying to glimpse into the future. Caught in the whirlpool of time, we cannot escape, we may only search for the channel that leads to a quiet harbor and peace. This then is our future ... an uncharted sea that must be swept clean so that no scar will be left to mark the history of a stormy past. So set your sails so that they catch the wind of destiny and may your ship take you to a new and greater horizon. NORA MEEKER Henley High School
