Staff The staff of the 1954 BLUE AND WHITE has been working hard in order to reproduce for you in picture form the activites of our school, and of the Senior Class, in particular, during the 1953-54 school year. At this time we would like to express our sincerest gratitude to all who have helped to make our yearbook a success—to Prin. Houghton D. Pearl, for his wise council; George Little, our printer, for his helpful interest; J. E, Purdy Co,, Inc,, our official photographer, for their excellent workmanship, and our advertisers and subscribers, for their hearty support. Most of all, the staff would like to thank sincerely our faculty adviser, Miss Frances Field, for the long hours of untiring work and interest she has contributed to our yearbook. We are living on the threshold of a breath-taking era —that of the atomic-driven rocket age. This is the reason we have chosen “ Rocketing Through Outer Space, ”as the theme for this year’s BLUE AND WHITE. Our scientists are working at top speed to make safe journeying into outer space possible, in the near future. It is a daring,courageous undertaking but “ we have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night. By Marion Parkinson
