A line in the Bible says, “If God be for us, who can be against us? The word “Good-by, which we use every day, is a contraction of an ancient expression which meant “God be with you. In that sense I now say “Good-by to Rock Island high school. Sincerely yours, E. S. METCALF, Dean of Boys. OWEN B. WRIGHT It is not enough that a person be trained; the most important thing is that he learn to think. To sift truth and fact from falsehood and superstition, demands careful critical thinking. As never before in history, we need inquiring minds, capable of making decisions of world importance. May you make your contributions to the needs of our time. Sincerely, FLORENCE J. LIEBBE Dean of Girls E. S. METCALF To the Class of 1951: Congratulations and sincere wishes for smooth sailing through future periods of decision, work, and service, and the living of lives made full, rich, and happy because of many high school experi¬ ences, both failures and successes. We wish you life dividends from high school work well done. May unselfish achievement and a strong righte¬ ous character be yours. Sincerely, OWEN B. WRIGHT Principal FLORENCE J. LIEBBE 13
