The First Mate Speaks . . . The good ship John Rogers has been sailing for several generations of high school able-bodied seamen. Each crew has contributed to the glory, to the successes, and to the traditions of this worthy bark. This year ' s crew has, under its able leaders, manned a commendable cruise. This, the Treasure Chest of 1952, is your log of the glories and the tribulations, of the victories and the defeats, of the ports, of the clashes on the gridiron, the court and the field. In your own private log of the year 1951-52 did you man the sails and lay to the ropes with the spirit of a hardy seaman? Did you? Can you say with the famous early mariner, Ulysses: I am a part of all I have met ? Certainly an overwhelming majority of our crew has been a part of all our successes, has valiantly faced the storms of un- favorable fortune and has finally warped the John Rogers to a safe port. And these who have trod our decks for the last trip, may they in their new voyages on new seas be as Ulysses: Strong in will to strive, to seek, to find and not to yield, worthy men and women in all the waters of life. PAUL MacGOWN, Vice-Principal eleven

Activities and studies together make up your school life. They must be considered together because it has been proven by experience that if one or the other has been neglected your high school education has not been fully rounded. By combining the tv o forms of education you will be better able to face life after graduation than if you are a bookworm at one extreme or a flitterbug at the other. This Treasure Chest is a record of school activities at John R. Rogers. Study it thoroughly. If you are not actively participating in one or more you are missing some- thing more than the proverbial boat. J. L. PURDY, Principal
