70fZ6600fZd Let us use the theatre of the imagination and Hash back a few years. We are in the year 1950, the place: School Harborgn the ship: Knowledge Ship ahoy! . . . and the seniors of '54 launch out on their journey across High School Bay, onto the scholastic sea, in quest of intellectual and spiritual treasures. For four happy years with Mary as our guiding Star, and with capable teachers as our helmsmen, we sailed through the rough mathematical seas, up the gulfs of Religion and Literature, and down the streams of shorthand and the natural sciences. Now, as we complete one phase of life and stand on the threshold of another, we look back to recapture the happy memories of our journey through High School. These happy memories are kept sacred in our yearbook of '54 to which we have entrusted more than mere words or pictures, but the living memories of our school days. I am persuaded that each senior will forever cherish this yearbook, and, as he turns its pages, will realize more fully than ever that our Alma Mater was truly a little patch of heaven. Each will recall the serene or sometimes solicitous faces of our teachers who unfailingly remained On duty to help us steer our ship to its destination. Each will summon the carefree and jovial faces of our schoolmates who, by their friendly countenance and valued co-operation, helped also make this the happiest journey of our life. 7
