TO THE CLASS OF 1951 Congratulations to the Tredyffrin-Easttown High School Class of 1951! You are graduat- ing from high school at a time when our peo- ple are engaged in a world crusade to keep men free, and to make men free. Our cher- ished One World has now become Two Worlds” — a world of totalitarianism and a world of freedom. Our nation, in leading the fight for freedom, must win the struggle if we are to maintain the American way of life. To this end each one of you will be asked to make great personal sacrifices, sacrifices as great as the cause which they will serve. We know that you, with your faith and courage, wiil join with the people of this country in preserv- ing freedom so that the great heritage and blessings which we have enjoyed may be passed on to future generations. HOBSON C. WAGNER Superintendent of Schools T-E CLASS OF 1951: Last year, while observing the members of the graduating class at Commencement time, these thoughts came to me: These young people were born during a depression, they passed through adolescence during World War II. they are graduating from High School at a time when our national economy is inflated to the bursting point and a time when world conditions are becom- ing increasingly chaotic. Is it any wonder that young people who never experienced peace, prosperity and a sense of security, are at times problems? We adults have created a precarious civili- zation wasting both human and material re- sources in the process. The hopes of the future rest — to a large degree — with you, with YOU. Best wishes. WALLACE S. BREY Principal

TO THE CLASS OF 1951 Historians in this year of 1951 have told us that The Thing can bring us nothing but trouble, care and despair. Can it be that The Thing is one of the ‘'Isms” prevalent today in the world? True, The Thing” of these histor- ians was “happened upon and not sought after. Therefore, does it not- behoove all of us as Americans, true world citizens, to seek out. hunt for The True Thing” — the Truth that will lead to world concord and ultimate world peace? Could not this Truth, “The True Thing,” be the American way of life we hold so dearly — True Democracy? To you who are graduating from one of the democratic institutions of this American way of life and going into a troubled, disillusioned, impatient, and at many spots intolerant world, all that one can say is Be true to the beliefs that this institution has endeavored to instill within you. Seek for Truth, be tolerant, and may The True Thing guide you to help make this a truly peaceful, democratic world. HENRY C. POTTS Class Sponsor 5
