ALVAH G. HAYES Headmaster Message to the Seniors Class of 1952: About this time of year I am always asked to leave a brief message with the graduation class. There are so many things which might be said that it frequently is difficult to know exactly what to offer. Shortly you will receive your high school diplomas and in the comparatively near future you will arrive at the age where you will be entitled to exercise the greatest political privilege of a free people — the privilege of selecting, by ballot, those who will make and enforce the laws under which you are to live. It is quite possible that some of you fail to appreciate the political freedom of your country as represented in your right to vote. This is true because in this country citizens have always possessed this right. However, the privilege and the freedom which goes with it could be lost. Peoples in many countries have, within your memories, lost their franchise. It is not always lost through revolution. It can be lost by electing to office the wrong kind of men. It could be lost if a sufficient number of people failed to exercise their privilege of voting. I will leave with you then, this advice. When you reach the age at which you may vote, never fail to exercise this privilege. Give careful thought to your selections. Be guided in your choice by the demonstrated ability, honesty and courage of those for whom you vote. If you and other young people observe these simple rules, the freedom which you have always known will continue to be yours. Failing in such observance, your freedom could be lost. ALVAH G. HAYES, Principal

Dedication wmbBBh ■ ■ ' To Miss Neal go our deepest respect and gratitude for her patience in her continuous struggle to drum into our minds the basic fundamentals of typing and bookkeeping. If you ever need advice or help in either bookkeeping or typing, she is always ready to explain the situation in a clear and precise way. Our sincere appreciation to a teacher who not only understands the problems of high schoolers, but also knows how to cope with them.
