Dedication We in America have more liberties than any other country in the world. Because of these freedoms we are a peace loving nation, but our liberties are held so dear to us that we are willing to fight and even to die for them. Once more We are faced with the job of preserving our liberties against a common enemy. So we, the class of 1951, feel that is is only fitting and proper to dedicate this annual to all those men and women, from our class and from other classes, who have answered the call to defend their country that We might continue to enjoy the freedom of living in a democratic country. Appreciation We would like to express our most sincere and humble appreciation to our parents. Without their help, it would not have been possible for us to complete these twelve wonderful years. It is true that our parents have given us financial aid, but they have also given us something far greater. When we were confronted with problems that seemed extremely vital to our inexperienced minds, they were always there to help us. In the job of life it is easy to follow but difficult to lead. For years we have been followers-it is now our turn to lead.

l 4 9 PRODUCER-Mr. E. C. Branstetier Fountains of Youih Ponce De Leon searched the Americas for the fabled Fountain of Youth which he failed to find because it did not then exist. If he were to make that search again today, he would find thousands of them because the schools of America are truly fountains of youth. In these institutions the heritages and culture of a great and courageous people are perpetuated. What else is worthy of perpetuation other than the culture and heritage that have evolved from ideas and concepts, tempered by an inspired religion, a religion which was established on this earth some two thousand years ago?
