DEDI T U 510 Com' QTRIVUIIISJ Throughout our high school days our parents have been the inspiration toward our final goal. They have helped guide us to one of the most important achievements in our young lives . . . a high school education. When the outcome appeared doubtful, they advised us wisely. When we encountered trivial difficulties that seemed very important to us at the time, they stood by our sides and defended us under all circumstances. They deplored our griefs, shared our joys, and tolerated all our adolescent pranks and jokes. They created the student- like environment in our home and offered assistance in various other ways. Our parents do not expect to be compensated for all their sacrifices made in our interestg these are the privileges of the parents of a high school boy. Their reward will come in our maturing into honest, upright and decent citizens. Then and then only will we be worthy of upholding their honored name. As the years go by and we recall our high school days, we will appreciate to the full the sacrifices made by them. With fond memories in our hearts we will always hold our parents in the highest possible esteem. Words, there are none to express our gratitude. As we encounter the normal obstacles of life, their companionship, wisdom, and guidance will continue to help us achieve the highest possible position in our chosen fields. To them, our parents, in loving appreciation of their aid, encourage- ment and tolerance, we dedicate this book. THE EDITORS, In behalf of the graduating class of June, Nineteen Hundred and Fifty.

, , I, grienals, gym glass of gg-June, 1950: This Nation, based upon government by the people, has achieved a leadership and responsibility in the world, and' is now being tested as to its worthiness to continue as such. It is a time of testing for us, too. Our con- sciences as much as our power-our friendliness as much as our size-and our acceptance of responsibilities to maintain decency, freedom and stability will determine our future leadership, influence and position in this bewildered world. Continuance of this way of life in a free country requires a large measure of self-discipline. If all rules of conduct must be set up by law, then freedom disappears. Only a dictator could enforce such rules. Our tremendous production, our advances in science, communications and energy sources complicate the decisions you must make. You are leaving Northeast, where the moral and ethical lessons you have learned will help guide you to right conclusions. We must never lose sight of the truth that material abundance, alone, yields little happiness. Only a fundamentally spiritual people can enjoy the blessings of continued prosperity and peace. God grant you the vision of a wonderful America and the strength to keep it so. Sincerely, CHARLES A. YOUNG Principal. Five
