To some of you, these re- corded activities of our school will be a reminder of hard work. To others, they will mean enjoyable participation with people who respect and accept you. Some others will see missed opportunity to be an active citizen of a community group. May all of you see something of which you can be proud while recognizing those things which could have been improved. If you can see needed improvement and accept u personal responsibility to work toward that end, l am confident our school will offer a better education and a more satisfying social experience. .mf 'Q Emu. J. Raw, Principal. T0 THE GRADUATING CLASS OF 1950: Many well-wishers are content to pass on to other such vague platitudes as Good luck! or I hope you will be happy! Luck is all right, but there really isnit much thrill that comes from having things dumped in one's lap. My wish for you would include enough obstacles or adversity to challenge the best in each of you. May you know the thrill of winning many a tough struggle, for in doing so you will inescapably experience lasting happiness. Do not be afraid to buck the odds - fight your way through and may it be your lot to win outl Sincerely, ART THOMPSON. Page Seven

MR. E. I. MQNAMARA MR. SCOTT MILLICAN The many activities displayed in this book prove that every student in the R. A. Long High School has a chance to participate in some field. Those of you who have taken advantage of this opportunity have learned in many ways - through the give and take of planning with other students and with advisers, through carrying out assignments you have made for yourselves, through the mistakes as well as the suc- cesses of your organizations - that both leadership and ability to follow leadership are needed by each of you. You have learned through these activities how to be better neighbors and better citizens, more understanding and more tolerant of the other personis point of view. In future years this book will bring back many happy memories and a fuller appreciation of what your school life and school friendships have meant to you. Your superintendent is grateful for a small part of that friendship' E. MCNAMARA, Superintendent of Schools. Racing towards adulthood, students of R. A. Long stop a moment to record in the Lumberjack im- pressions of school life that was theirs for a fleeting school-year at the mid-point of the twentieth cen- tury. May the wholesomeness of their youthful ideals and the enthusiasm of their activity as mirrored in this book serve to guide and accelerate the development of a happier and more harmonious world than was that of their Childhood days' SCOTT lXlILLIGAN. Assistant Superintendent. MR. LARKIN, MR. BROWN, MRS. GUNDERSON, MR. McNAMARA, MR. WINDUS, MRS. MILES, MR. HALLIN. Page Eight fi
