OUR SUPERINTENDENT Joseph B. Van Pelt, B.A., M.A. Our annual staff and sponsors, with the excellent cooperation of the teachers and students, are to be congratulated upon presenting such an appropriate and beautiful volume of the “Vir- ginian” to the seniors and student body. As we recognize this 1950 to be the beginning of a new era for America — the leader among the nations, all subject to atomic power with its tremendous implications, may we admonish the seniors and those who are to be the subject of future volumes to consider it their dnty to love our country, to support its constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and defend it against all enemies. We say to the seniors, in the words of Longfellow when he referred to the “Ship of State”: “Our hearts, our hopes, are all with thee. Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears, Our faith triumphant o’er our fears. Are all with thee,— are all with thee.” Joseph B. an Pelt Mr. Van Pelt Mr. Hammack Page 8
