GLIMPSES of MURPHY MOM IAN 4 FACULTY SENIORS IN this, the twenty-fifth year of our high school, and in this, the twenty-fifth volume of our Mo man, we, the boys and girls of ’51, would look back over a quarter-cen- tury. We would look back with gratitude to those of our community whose vision enabled them to look ahead, and whose foresight built the school which today serves the varied needs of three thousand young Mobilians. We would also look back with gratitude to those students who made Murphy what it is today and who left us a colorful heritage. We would look around with pride at our own contri- butions—participation in the activities of the classroom, in- corporation of fund and studies during our four years’ pres- ence, membership in organizations devoted to the welfare of the school, spirited athletic competition, and donations of our time and our talents to community service. And we would especially look forward with hope and great expectations to the future, secure in the knowledge that corridors left deserted by us will be filled by future generations — boys and girls who in their turn will be guided by that “soul . . . whose spirit shall never die.”
