To THE CLASS OF 1953: We who are engaged in public school educa- tion want to congratulate you on reaching one of the goals young people strive for-the attain- ment of a high school diploma. I am happy and proud of your achievement. Your class had within its ranks many fine young people who had diverse talents. Your contribution to our scholastic program, our musical pro- gram, our dramatic program, our sports pro- gram and our school citizenship program was excellent. As you pass from our physical environment, you will leave with us many fine memories of your work, and it is our wish that your life will be filled with many successes and much happiness. May I remind you that many of your future accomplishments will be due to the untiring efforts of your most loyal advisors-the public school teachers. Sincerely, PAUL H. GRIM, Supervising Principal FELLOW STUDENTS : If many years from now you should turn these pages again, I hope that your happiest recollection will be of the growth and achieve- ment which your days at North Coventry High School brought you. Friendships made in school are priceless and immortal. Activities in the classroom, on the playing iield, the stage, and the editorls desk afford thrilling recol- lections. As you go out to become a part of the body of youth of our land, my prayer is that you will have the self-reliance, the courage, the qualities of leadership and vision which will usher in a new era of peace and dignity to all mankind. May God bless you. Sincerely, ALVIN S. ALDERFER, Administrative Assistant
