O N September 6 Gilbert Longin, a Sophomore in Stamford Central School, wa s J stricken with the dreaded disease of infantile paralysis. Since the effects of this illness oftentimes prevent one from leading a normal life and achieving his goals, he should have the satisfaction of knowing that he has overcome this handi- cap to the extent he is continuing his education as we are here in Stamford Central. Because of his self-confidence, pleasing personality and the will to win, he has succeeded in proving to himself and his friends that one should never be a “Quit- ter.” Because he has shown to himself and to us that he possessed outstanding qualities in overcoming handicaps which we all must encounter in some form dur- ing our life, we would do well to accept the fine spirit shown by our schoolmate in meeting a great test in life. We miss you not only in the corridors at school, but also on the basketball court and in other activities of school, where you have won the friendship and ad- miration of many. With our sincere wishes to you, Gilbert, fora speedy recovery, we, the staff of “The Voice” of ’53, are proud to dedicate our yearbook to you. 2

flWctvorcf N today’s world of “hot” and “cold” wars, the United Nations presents the one hope for world peace. We have chosen this as our theme and followed it in portraying the year 1952-1953 of school life. Our dedication is slightly different this year, but we feel that Gilbert Longin deserves to be recognized for his fine spirit in overcoming his tremendous handicap. We have tried to present a clear, concise picture of life at S. C. S. during the past year. Many events could not, of course, be recorded in this book; but we believe that the most important are included in these pages. As part of a member nation of the United Nations, we would like to express our hope that this year’s graduating class maybe instrumental in securing the objective, for which the U. N. is striving--peace on earth. 4
