SUPERINTENDENT’S MESSAGE Greetings to the Class of ’51: As a parting message, I would like to emphasize the tact that no matter how dim the outlook may he on the horizon of time, limitless opportunities for success await you. These opportunities will not be open for those who sit and wait for opportunity to knock on a door which they are too timid to open, or for those who are not confident to seize opportunity if it does knock. You must now stand on your own feet, know your own purpose, lx sure of your own ability, and know what you want. Your teachers have instructed you well in the three R’s: we hope you have also acquired the three P’s—purpose, plan, persistence. If opportunity seems to be delaying, we urge you to listen more carefully. Today opportunity has many doors leading to many openings, but you will find the right opening if you believe in yourself and have courage and initiative. The extent to which you have developed the qualities of courage and self-reliance will determine to a large extent the hopes and aspirations of your generation. Best wishes for your future success and happiness. John B. Hendershot 6 The 1951 Sequin

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE The Class of 1951 was the first group of Seniors to experience the emergency status of being on a double-session program. Whether or not there is any distinction in having passed through such a state is not known. The class as a whole has done remarkably well in keeping up a high standard of school work, despite a drastically curtailed school day. The Class of 1951 also had a first” in that their group was largely responsible for bringing the first State Championship in Soccer for the medium and large schools to the Town of Newington. Another “first” was the remarkable piece of work in the field of salesmanship as exhibited by the greatest total dollar sales of any school in the State during the annual magazine subscription drive. It is rather difficult in writing at the half year mark to predict other areas in which your class may again rank first. Your energies have been well spent, your interests have been widely diversified, and your record is one to be envied. Future classes will hold in high esteem the various goals you have reached. The tradition you have started will give them new horizons to strive for. The 1951 Sequin 7
