♦ ♦ ♦ Us for the World of Today Senior year is the end of twelve years of planned education. This is the fulfillment of all your dreams. Its long awaited coming has been interspersed with anticipation and fascination. Its advent has cast an aura of magic which spread its glow over the entire • ‘ year and culminates in graduation. Then It's over and you have to come down to earth. Never again will you fit into a plan of living especially prepared for you. The past is beyond your power, only a memory. The present is reality. Your high school curriculum program, based on worthwhile life experiences, has helped you to attain knowledge and social maturity in the realm of your peers. The habits and training of school life will be easily adapted to your emerging adult life. May the set of values which you, the Class of 1951, have formulated for successful school adjustment help you to devise a pattern for a happy and useful life. Truly, American Education makes Graduation Day a symbol of all the good things we so earnestly desire for the youth of the nation. The ageless earth journeys in its orbit, while mighty celestial forces maintain it in its balanced progress. The hand of God is steady on the helm with cause and effect following each other as inevitably as spring follows winter. The clock of the years is marked with flowers. When tulip time has passed and the hands approach the time of roses, you, the Class of '51, will go to meet your future. You will seek your places in a world no longer tranquil, but reeling from the impact of changed values, confused and torn by the dissembling and dissent of men. Your path will be shadowed by tension, uncertainty and fear, while devious reasoning and subversive propaganda will seek to impede you. Meet these inimical forces with courage and resilience, re- membering always that they are man-made and trivial. In no way are they comparable to the imponderable forces of God and nature. May the power of knowledge and the faith of your souls assure you of success, and make you ever conscious of God's hand, steady on the helm. RICHARD A. POLLACK MARGARET MARY WALSH, Principal. 7
