Dedication to MR. GERALD BARRY — we dedicate this book In the short time that Mr. Barry has heen a member of the Vineland High School faculty, many members of our class have had an opportunity to come in contact with him, to know him, and to like him. In the classroom Mr. Barry has shared his knowledge with us and has inspired us to continue our efforts in self-improvement. As a senior home- room advisor, he has helped to guide our class through the terminal chap- ter of our high school career. Ilis efforts as a director of our Senior Play helped greatly in making this year's production a highlight. For his genuine patience, understanding, and encouragement, we are sincerely grateful.

FOREWORD This is your life. Little did you realize when you tensely opened the doors of our school hack in 1951, how much of your life was to be influ- enced by your days at Vineland High. Your fresh- man year was the prologue of your life in high school. Remember how open-eyed you were as you formed a rather vague idea of what life in the future was to hold for you? That inquisitive, hesitating freshman all too soon became a self-assured, boisterous sophomore. Work became more difficult and after you had entered your junior year, you realized that hard work was part of living a successful life. It wasn’t long after that, that you were opening the doors of the auditorium every morning; this was the sign that you were a senior. That was the year when all of your past experiences that per- tained to your curricular and to your extra curri- cular activities began to sum up. Each of you was making a conclusion that was to point out the di- rection of your future activities. You've lived a wonderful life. How many of you, though, will be able to remember vividly those occasions which seemed so important to you? Your memories, once bright and clearly marked like a newly printed page will seem to be fading from the glare of passing years. Your life in high school has been eventful. As each page in a book helps to build up a plot of the story, your days spent in high school were just as effective in molding and developing your habits, interests, and character traits. We hope that the Record of 1955 will aid in polishing your memories whenever you turn these pages, so that you will experience for a second time the joy and happiness of your four years in high school. Outwardly you will appear different, but those qualities, rooted deeply in your youth, will remain unchanged. You have reached the peak of your lives. For some of you the formative years have ended, for others, these years are to be extended indefinitely. At this point, you must make a strong grip upon everlasting principles and ideals. As you preparc- yourselves to venture forth in this world, keep in mind that success is not measured by how much you acquired but by the manner in which you acquired it. Between the covers of this book lies a story a story about your life during the four years spent in high school—your high school life- your life.
