To the Graduates: My hat is off to you. Because of your spirit, ambition and willingness to work, you have made i952-53 one of the finest years in the history of Seneca. Because of your class we have a student committee organization which has been outstanding in its success. You have organized and administered your student activities in a most admirable way. To all the members of these committees, my sincerest congratulations. ' - The Warrior and Chieftain staffs have done an outstanding piece of work.' Looking back over the year, l remember the office and the rooms of the advisors for these school publications have been beehives of constant activity from 7:30 in the morning until late in the afternoon. Our assemblies have shown a big improvement over former years, again because of the stu- dent participation before and behind the scenes. More students have taken an active part in es- say contests ancl the like, bringing more honors to yourselves and to your school. Our athletic teams have again given an excellent account of themselves, especially in their sportsmanship. You seniors can be proud of this record because you made up the biggest repre- sentation on the team. And no other school can boast of better support given the teams by their classmates. At almost every sports event our student attendance has outnumbered our opponents. Yes, graduates, you have started what we hope will be a tradition atSeneca, a senior class that leads, a senior class that cooperates, a senior class that initiates new ideas which make a better school. On behalf of the faculty, let me again congratulate you and thank you. May we hope that this is only the beginning of your taking an active part in all your future endeavors and that Seneca students will be the leaders in industry, business organizations and government. You have made the start, keep going. Your principal 0144- 6
