DEDICATION Realizing now, more than ever before, the fact that education may mean the difference between success and failure to the students, the members of the board of education are constantly working to improve the quality of our school system. They de- vote a great deal of time establishing the policies of the school, planning the courses to be taught, and directing the general management; these are but a few of their many jobs. To the members of the Board of Education, the class of 1951, being fully conscious of the debt of gratitude it owes them, dedicates this Gleaner with deep appreciation and a very sincere thank you.

 . . . and to the republic for which it stands; one nation indivisible, with liberty, and justice lor all. Foreword... It is the desire of the Gleaner staff to im- press upon you the great inheritance of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, handed down to us by the fathers of our country. Now more than ever before, in the present crisis we should appreciate and guard these free- doms. Let us protect our Constitution, the safe- guard of American liberties, and resolve to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity. Let us continue always the American way, the Democratic way of life.

Conferring together are Mr. Normington and Mr. Olson. Are they planning an assembly program or discussing a student problem? Mr. Normington's work extends over many tasks as superintendent of our school system. Advising students; making out reports; visiting classes; helping teachers, parents, and stu- dents with their problems; meeting salesmen; and attending school board meetings keep him busy through the day. As freshmen, we met him during announcements in the assem- bly. Later we came to know him as a friend who gave counsel and vocational guidance to the students. In any Democracy there is a need for re- sponsible leaders. As our principal and friend, Mr. Olson is busy from day to day keeping track of high school students, checking up on make-up cards, and doing various other tasks about our school. Besides all this, Mr. Olson teaches chemistry and has charge of the ex- tension courses given. As principal, he con- siders it his responsibility to see that things in general function smoothly for both the stu- dents and the faculty. Patient, understanding, and friendly, Mr. Olson is always ready to lend a helping hand. Dear Seniors; Go ahead with your plans! It is true that these are days when it is not al- ways easy to keep your chin up and your upper lip stiff, but the test of an individual's character is in his ability to accept adversities and discourage- ment. So proceed with your plans; don't let your worries get you down; have faith in God and in yourselves; and do your part to make tomorrow better. Sincerely 4
