Our Four Great Faiths Parent, Faculty, Classmates, and Friends: Tonight, we, the Class of 1954, are graduating from Sheffield High School and entering an adult world, perforce to each seek our own way without the former com- plete dependence upon our teachers and parents. The time has come when we must lead, not follow. To be able to do this we must turn to our Four Great Faiths: Faith in God, Faith in Ourselves, Faith in Our Fellow Man, Faith in Freedom. Down through the ages, Faith in God has been a powerful force in the lives of men and a source of strength in time of trouble. The great and lasting movements of civili- zation have been dedicated to, and founded upon, Faith in a Supreme Power. This Faith is woven into the foundation of our nation. It has given us strength when we fal- tered, courage when we were afraid, united us when we were divided. By looking to God, by dedicating ourselves to His teachings, we can be filled with renewed and strengthened Faith. The history of our country is that of people who had Faith in Themselves, but in recent years we have lost some of this Faith. We have started looking to the govern- ment for the solution of not only community problems, but personal ones as well. As we persist in the dependency upon the government, Faith in Ourselves is gradually weakened, and eventually destroyed. Faith in Our Fellow Man is the basic Faith for the foundation of brotherhood. We should have brotherly love not only for our own families, but for people of every race, nationality, and country. In this way, perhaps there could be perpetual peace among different nations, and the constant threat of horrid wars, which have crippled so many countries for centuries, would be banished forever. In working to revive the spirit of brotherhood upon which the foundation of our great nation rests, we must renew our Faith in each other and in the inalienable rights of each other, to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The last of our Four Great Faiths is Faith in Freedom. Ever since civilization be- gan, people have fought and died to promote it. That is why at this very time in our own country our young men and women are in the armed forces. . . so we may have Freedom which, a sacred trust, we must preserve and pass on to our children. It is their birthright. . . ours to hand on to them and they to their children. Between the America of yesterday and the America of tomorrow stands our gen- eration. To us has fallen the duty to preserve the Faith, the Honor, the Strength and the Glory that is America. To do this, we must have Faith in a God, who answers our prayers. . . Faith in Ourselves and our work. . . Faith in Our Fellow Man, his courage and honesty. . . Faith in Freedom, its strength and meaning. Now is the time to take our stand. Tomorrow may be too late. Laura Malnati

Class Prophecy Time: 1964 Place: Wendy ' s Restaurant, Canaan, Conn. A young woman is seated at a table in Wendy ' s Restaurant, (formerly Johnny ' s) Canaan, Conn. She is drinking a cup of coffee, and looking up, sees an old friend and classmate. J. B. Well! Margaret Preiss! Imagine seeing you here after all these years! Where have you been keeping yourself? M.P. Oh, I ' ve been living in Boston since I graduated from secretarial school there. I ' m a court reporter, now, so I don ' t get home as often as I ' d like to. How about you? Are you still living in the good old town? J. B. Well, after graduation, I got a job as secretary to Dr. Brown, in Great Barrington, but as I plan to be married next month, I won ' t be working there any more. M. P. That ' s wonderful. By the way, is Carolann Olsen married, yet? J. B. Oh, yes. She worked as a telephone operator here in Canaan for a while, but she married her army sweetheart soon after, and now they live in Texas with their two little boys. M. P. Remember the good times we used to have here, especially after play rehearsals? J. B. It was fun. I sure miss it. Did you know that Wendell Bartholomew owns this place now? M. P. Does he really? I wonder if he ' s around. I ' d like to see h im. J. B. I doubt it. He ' s still a bachelor, and he ' s probably out looking over some pros- pects. M. P. No kidding. I thought some lucky girl would grab him as soon as he got out of high school. J. B. Guess they didn ' t have a chance. He kept pretty busy at business school - no time for girls. M. P. I see. J. B. Incidently, have you heard from Laura Malnati, lately?
