VINELAND TIME TABLE When we, as freshmen, entered Vineland High School in that vaguely remembered year of '49, we boarded a train, bound for the future. We couldn't see that the track ahead was rough in places, that the tunnel in front of us was a long one, and that the trip was far from being a joy-ride. During our journey, we were informed that we would have Lo lay some of the track ourselves, scarcely realizing then that upon it we were traveling toward our destinies—but some of us still thought that we could just go along for the ride. Now, as seniors, we have come to regret the all-too-many times when we were side-tracked; the all-too-few times when we stopped to look where we were going and for what we were headed. We can now look back and appreciate the wonderful conductors— our teachers—who showed us the light in that long, dark, seemingly endless tunnel of knowledge. This year—our final and crucial one —we can see daylight around the bend; we are emerging from the tunnel at last. Ahead lies shining, gleaming track that branches off in many directions, leading to numerous colleges, careers, and jobs. In whichever direction we choose to go—whichever tract we In whichever direction we choose to go—whichever track we choose to follow,—let us always remember that we built the track upon which we will travel; if it is smooth and shiny, we will know that our journey has been a success; if it is rusty and rough, we will know that somewhere along the line we have failed. 98 - “ mSJ If we look some more, we will remember that in every car of our train and in every club and organization formed, there were always extra seats. In a democracy, there is always room for one more; that is a democratic principle. Unlike some countries in Europe intimidated by a foreign power, the United States provides for free public education. No one can take your seat from you. Through education, we can learn not only to lay our own track but to help others with theirs. By intensifying this principle, perhaps the hope of world peace can be realized through the youth of America. In this yearbook, we, the class of 1953, have recorded the events that have contributed toward making our long journey a successful one. he 130 r VINELAND, NEW JERSEY ' I 50 flS Hi 'i- ; I 5 55 ’6 53 7 0S '7 0S -Ufa.

Rossi, our principal and the chief conductor in charge of lighting the fire of knowl- edge in us, has done her best to keep that fire blazing and has unceasingly endeavored to guide us carefully along our individual tracks towards the waiting future. Mr. Donley, our supervising principal, helps us in many ways to plan our lives with faith and a definite goal in mind.
