FOREWORD Boys and girls, in increasing numbers, are finding the answer to their training needs through practical education in our Vocational High School. Here they have an opportunity to work together for a common purpose — that of receiving training to correlate activities of hand and mind. After three full years of specific education, graduates leave our school to face the world with a sincere, confident attitude, knowing that they have been well-grounded in a realization that only through honest effort will success and happiness be theirs. They have received the latest in technical information in their respective trades and a multitude of experiences which will help them as they take their places in this ever-changing, complex society. To this end we dedicate the activities of our Vocational School. True to the early vision of its founder. Miss Elizabeth Fish, our Vocational High School sends forth graduates each year, well-founded in honest ideals, endowed with a desire to work, and equipped with a knowledge of how to earn a living in one of the many trades of this school. We have only to review the success of our alumni to appreciate the full significance of this realistic training program. This spring another ciass of seniors will graduate from our school. As they leave, we take stock of the accomplishments of the past three years. You, the seniors of 1951. represent the first class to receive all of your training in the combined schools. We are proud of you and your accomplishments. We. as a staff, have tried to equip you for many of the problems of the future. With each one of you go our hopes and prayers for a most successful and prosperous life in the years ahead. RAYMOND V. NORD Principal
