lt may surprise those who read these lines to know that they were written at 'llhanksgiving time, l952. In the excitement of reading and 'fsigningn this fine new book, few will realize how long it has been in preparation. Maybe thanksgiving is about the best possible theme for this message, anyway. North Central High School is thankful for the fine young people who make up its student body. lt is grateful for more than 400 seniors who have stuck to their books, laboratories, and work shops in meeting Spokane-'s graduation requirements. XYe of the school's staff know that no graduate ever will regret seeing it through. 'llhere will be many who read these lines who will eon- sider withdrawing from school. XYe hope that they will profit by the example of the '53 graduates, instead. 'llhere is another side to thanksgiving. ln an America and in an age which take too much for granted, we hope that our graduates will be grateful for the opportunities given them by public schools. NYe hope that their voices will be the first raised in defense of youth when the selfish would restrict public school opportunities. Vtve hope that H1953 gratitude will take a practical form: leadership in providing comparable chances for those in the later ranks of the steady procession which constitutes civilization. 0 A 0 nine
