SWITCHMEN MR. SMITH MR. WHITTEMORE From the advisors of Rome Free Academy, we, the Class of °52, take with us all the understanding and guidance that you have given us. B eginning as sophomores on winding tracks entering a dark tunnel without a knowledge of what lay ahead we sought expert advice on our subjects and vocations; MR. WESSING we were totally lost in a new school with new teachers, but you in your classrooms and offices showed us the way. We have emerged from the dark tunnel into the light as graduating seniors. For this our class will always be grateful and never forget what you have done for us and our comrades.

ENGINEERS — LYNDON H. STROUGH, Superintendent To the graduates of 1952 May the theme of your De-O-Wain-Sta inspire you with the conviction that you have the power to travel far in your search for success and happiness—power in the education you have received and power in the strength of character by which you hold fast to what is right in all that you do.

May the memories of your fellow pas- sengers not grow dim as you travel on and may the knowledge gained here provide you with a clear track to the fulfillment of your ambitions.
