ARTICLE V On the last day of the 1950 school life, the entire class bequeaths bushels of maple leaves to all the teachers. On this day, the Senior Class did a very extraordinary thing. It mobbed Father Time, stole his scythe, and chased him up a tree. There, high on a limb, sits the Senior Class scribbling memories on each leaf and dropping them one by one, only to find, as they flutter to the ground, the run-down looking teachers. To the Athens Insane Asylum we bequeath any teacher that has not been able to withstand our terrible onslaught. ARTICLE VI Signed, published, and declared by the above Senior Class as and for its last will and testament, in the presence of Shelton, Chemicals, Kilroy, and us who in its presence and at its request has hereunto subscribed our names as witnesses.

lr I W MIDDLE GROUND - 1950 Parents, Faculty, Board of Education, and Friends: At this time of year, all over the United States, thousands of high school seniors are assembled for their commencement exercises. Not only is 'this true this year, but it has been true for many years. But, we, the Class of 1950, feel that we hold va unique position as we wait to receive our diplomas tonight. I say a unique position because we are standing in umiddle ground -in other words, the middle of the century. , Within the first half of the century, many events of great importance influenced our way of living. Inventions s.uch as the airplane and the atomic bomb were of primary importance in winning the second world war. The construction of modern machinery has led to better organized industry. Tele- vision has brought the world to our door-step. Having been taught that the majority of successful people of the future will be graduates of high schools similar to this, it is logical for us to assume that the accomplishments. and problems of the next fifty years will depend largely upon the classes of 1950 and upon other graduating classes of the near future. More than ever before, men are coming to realize the need for an education in order to cope with the problems that face them. One of the most important problems at the present time is the question of how to preserve world peace. It is now believed 'that world peace can. be maintained only through the education of the people. In the homes, schools, and churches throughout America, steps have been taken toward abolishing hatred and prejudice in the heart of the individual. For example, American colleges and universities have inaugurated the policy of sending American students to foreign countries, and foreign students to America, in order that the various countries of the world will have a better understanding of each other. This carries out the belief that, in order to understand a person, we must become familiar with his habits and customs. If the idea that Mall men are created equal is continued to be 'taught in the homes, schools, and churches, perhaps, someday, we will have a truly democratic way of living. Democracy leads to co-operation - co-operation, to world peace. The members of this class are well aware of the responsibilities which will face them in the future. Not only is the Class of 1950 graduating in the middle of the century, but also in the midst of a great world wide problem. We are truly standing in middle ground. What will our part be? -MARJORIE ROBERTS TWENTY-SIX :wig
