FOREWORD We have arrived at ihe midpoint of the century. Duiing the past fifl years the world has made many important discoveries, particularly in scientific fields. For the next fifty years the world will go on to develop even newer and greater ideas, but the discoveries made in the past will not be forgotten. Instead, tempered by time, they will become the tools with which we will make our dreams of today become the realities of tomorrow. I hus the mid-century year is a milestone in the advance¬ ment of civilization. To us, the seniors of Heading High School, 1950 is a milestone in a special sense. It is the year in which we end one type of life and begin another. During the first part of our lives, we. too, have been studying, learn¬ ing and making discoveries. From this time on we will not forget all that we have learned, but will begin to use our knowledge in such a way as to brighten and enrich the years ahead of us. We are about to put the knowledge we have gained to practical application. This Pioneer is a record of the years in which we have been learning — a record of our work, our play, our problems and our progress at RTFS. We have been participating in school life in all its various phases; we are about to go on to the proverbial “wide world”, forti¬ fied by the knowledge which we have gained. It has been said that the world today has entered upon the “Atomic Age , a new era. Grateful for the benefits of the past and hopeful for the promise of the future, we have chosen this modern age and its symbolic atom as the theme of our yearbook, the 1950 Pioneer.
