In this book we have tried to record as clearly as possible the impressions of our school year-- the school, which is the setting; the faculty, who have in- deed proved friends in need; the events, great and small; the girls and boys with whom we have shared every mo- ment of our high school life. We realize that friendshipis socomplex that if we tried to explain it, we would become hopelessly involved. There- fore,we have tried to make this book as simple as possible, showing only when, where and how we have made our friends here athP. Heo. We hope that as you turn the pages of this book you will be reminded of the friends you have made here and the e- vents which have brought you closer together. It is with this goal in mind that we present to you the 1954 Wigwam.

STRENGTH FOR THE DAY By EARL L, DOUGLASS 7 WHOSE FAULT? � Not long ago two men were dis- = +g juvenile delinquency. A ‘teen-age boys had just been after a series of petty ‘aking escapades. One man � movies, television, and doks as ths cause of such «s. “Everywhere you turn, e same — crime stories,”’ he “Even if the crook isn’t ac- tually the hero, he’s still made such a romantic figure that all the boys envy him.” The other man had a different theory. ‘‘The real trouble,’’ he as- serted, “is the schools. If children |were made to study as hard now as when we were young, they would not have time to sit around and watch crime programs on televi- sion. If these men had heard more yout the case histories of the boys 10 just been caught, their solu- yns might have been different. me boy was living in a foster ynome; two had lost their fathers by divorce or death; a fourth was one of a family of ten children no- |torious for being neglected by their |parents.
