LONGHORN Class Poem Our eyes are dim, our hearts are sad For our high school days are over - With all the glorious times we've had And the friends we've shared together. The sorrow of this parting hour And ties we leave behind Are brightened by the glimpse of power And conquests we shall find. The future will our metal try - And we should meet the test, For our good teachers, day by day, Have given us their best. Now as we bid you each good-bye, We'll strive, in work and fun, To make old Waterbury High Proud of her '51. 1 VIRGINIA MILES. Class Song Twelve years we've lived in her classrooms and halls And now as we leave her our mem'ry recalls The fun we have had and good friends we have made, And we realize our efforts have been fully paid. All through our lives we'll remember these years As we think of the laughter, the hopes and the tears. We'll remember our teachers, so patient and kind. But then we'll look on to new roads that we'll find. Dreams we have had we can now make come true, For now, things we've dreamed, welre about to pursue, We'll try to accomplish and leave all well done, And we'll not give up trying till each goal is won. --NANCY FORBES

LONGHORN Presidents Address It is a great honor and privilege to represent my fellow graduates, the Class of 1951. During past graduations, we have watched other classes leave with but one thought in our minds, that day when We too would be graduating from Waterbury High. However, as the day to graduate came nearer, our views changed, and now that the time is here, we are not glad but rather sorry that we will no longer be a part of the student body. During our school years, we have had patient, understanding teachers, who have guided us and brought us an important step nearer our final goal, that time when we will be taking an active part in the affairs of our com- munity and the world. We now realize how much they have done for us, and we sincerely hope that we have lived up to their expectations. We also wish to thank our parents for giving us the opportunity to enjoy a high school education. To you underclassmen, may we say that Waterbury High is a wonder- ful school. We are proud to have received our education within its doors and we know you will feel the same. Everything possible is being done by Mr. Fiske, the school directors and the citizens of our town to maintain the high standards which have been established in previous years concerning both the appearance of our school and its educational facilities. It is in- deed a privilege to attend such a place. The spirit of Waterbury High School is in your careg keep it strong. Now that we are no longer able to profit from the opportunities which have been offered us during the past twelve years, we realize that there are many of which we did not take full advantage. Try to understand that attaining a high scholastic average is as important as being a star in sports or in other activities. May we say to you, Make the most of your time in school. You will never regret it. To our class adviser, Mrs. Gough, who has guided us through our most trying year, and to our worthy principal, Mr. Rowe, we have this to say, We think that you are both grand. We appreciate all that you have done for us, and we know that the beloved tradition of Waterbury High will be carried on under your faithful guidance. As for my classmates, I hope that the companionship we have made will not be lost as years go by. We realize the accomplishments that we have achieved are results of working together so that we would make these four years ones which will be long remembered. And so it is with sad and yet happy hearts that we now leave Waterbury High. 1 RICHARD RUSSELL.
