Yearliiiuli StaFF Turning out o yearbook isn't os simple os turning out a monthly magazine, os we dis- covered while producing the 1949 annual. Whoever termed it a book fitted the appropri- ate title to this heavily worded tome. Then, too, we hove reputation to live up to. The 1949 Yearbook received a first closs rating of the National Competition ot Columbia. Our adviser. Miss Olive MacPhcrson, wisely guided the stoff in the preparation of the Yearbook. There were a great many things to do; design o cover, select a layout of material, sort all the dota cards ond pictures, write up the organizations, and finally, arrange the huge pile of moteriol for the printer. Much credit for efficient leodcrship ond orgonizotion goes to John Forte, our editor. The praiseworthy efforts of Robert Dini, the business monogcr, kept affairs in general running smoothly. The energetic work of the willing ond enthusiastic staff resulted in an easily read, well- bolanced yearbook. We hope it pleoses the Seniors, for they are the final judges of its worth.

Editorial Deor Clossmotcs, Well, if we must, we must—and in that cose the less said the better,” aptly expresses the experience of graduation. Our sojurn on the hill is ended, and as o fitting climax to those wonderful ycors, here is your personal high school record — the 1949 ycorbook. We know that in order to record properly the many high school events, this yeorbook is inadequate, but within our limited scope we hove tried to embody in its pages os many os possible of the activities and accomplishments of the Class of 1949. Work was started as early os lost June ond many new ideas were presented, discussed, ond rejected or promoted, olwoys hoving in mind to moke the 1 949 ycorbook the best yeor- book. Idcos such os bigger senior pictures, larger pages, autographs, group informality, mod- ernistic designs, reverse drowings, ond simplicity were made possible by the untiring efforts of your stoff. Their work will be amply rewarded in seeing your pleosed expression as you look through the pages of this, your 1949 annuol. On the night of graduation we ore expectant in anticipation of the future which ex- tends before us with bright hopes and promises. The first goal we have been striving for has finally been achieved, yet, in our joy, there is olmost regret that this moment also means the ending of many associations and friendships. But these have helped to build and mould our character and are already o port of our life thot can never be forgotten. Thus, os we ottoin our goals in life let us not ollow our memory of these important doys to become dim. We trust that these pages will do their port to keep shining brightly the happy days at S. H. $. Some of us have given generously and unstintingly of oil our time ond effort. Others have not. We should remember that happy doys are recollected in the meosure of what we hove put into them. The more we put into life, the more we sholl receive from it. So now — graduation, and on to greater achievements. We close the door on our high school world and turning, we find open another door — to a shining future. Sincerely, JOHN FORTE OLIVE B. MacPHERSON Faculty Adviser
