(Editorial Dear Classmates: The doy on which we must all leave S. H. S. has finally orrived — groduotion is here. Even during the last doys of our high school career, we moy hove joked about wanting to finish school. But now, olmost everyone cannot help but feel o slight pang of melancholy at parting from the intimate and cherished friends of high school doys. It is our most sincere hope that the 1951 Yearbook will help you to remember fondly your friendships at S. H. S. Since Class Doy, 1950, when the first condids were taken, work on our Yeorbook hos pro- gressed steadily. Before school closed lost June, many important problems had to be discussed and resolved — the general atmosphere of the book, the type of Senior loyout ond any possible deviation from post form — to mention only o few Since September, o round of collecting and filing dota, identifying ond posting glossies, checking names in organization groups, and proof- reading hos kept the Yeorbook Stoff humming with activity ond anticipation. Our closs color — the gorgeous red that spurs us ahead — is unfortunately o rather dif- ficult companion. Nevertheless, we hove tried to use enough of it so that it is outstanding, yet not overpowering. The general plan of our Yearbook, with regord to layout, is quite similor to that of 1949, with the addition of o new type of content poge, o greoter division of the activity section, ond more consistent group picture size. Here is the story of your high school life — a post-graduate course to which you will sub- scribe ogain ond again over the years. Of course we will feel tremendously proud and pleased to see your smiles on Class Day os you see condids and formol pictures of your friends, but if, in ten or fifteen years, we might see the fond tecr or heer the -sly chuckle as you gaze ot this record of your younger doys, we would feel more than amply rev.aided ■ r the effort we moy hove expended on your record -- the Yearbook of the Class of 1951. Sincerely, CLIVE B. MacPHERSON Faculty Adviser
