Tiik Senior Year Book — 1951 President s Address Fellow classmates, members of the faculty, parents and friends: The time has come for us to leave our beloved school and go our separate ways on the great road of Life. While our greatest attention is placed on the future, we cannot resist a back-wan. look at, and even a yearning for our high school days. The many friends we have made, the knowledge we have gained, and the good times we have had will always be cherished among our remembrances. To our teachers, who have been not only instructors, but understanding friends as well, we owe an immeasurable debt of gratitude. They have helped us through a most difficult period of our lives, and aided us in acquiring one of our most valuable possessions, an education. Our diplomas will open up to us a wide choice of occupations. Many of us will go on to college, while others will begin to take up their life’s work. We must step boldly out into a world which is trembling in fear and apprehension, watching am. waiting for something to happen. The years to come may bring a happier, more peaceful, fuller life for all; or they could bring destruction and chaos such as have never been witnessed by the eyes of men. It is up to each and every one of us to do his or her share in the great task ahead. Many of us may soon be asked to leave our homes, families, and friends to serve in the armed forces of our country. In fact, several of our classmates are already in uniform, and while we deeply regret their not being with us, we are proud of them. When and if we are called, we ask God to give us the strength to do our best, come what may. Our three years at Westerly High School will never be forgotten. Who can help but recall the proms and dances, the fun in the gym and classrooms, the thrills and excitement of big games? We are proud of our great athletic teams which have been so often victorious. Our high school careers are now ended. We have been supplied with the tools; it is up to us to use them and to use them properly. We must prove to the townspeople, our teachers, and our families that they have not labored and sacrificed for us in vain. Whether or not we choose to continue our education, we have built the foundations for our various careers. Although we shall leave many of our old friends and pals, at least for a time, we shall undoubtedly make many other sincere and lasting friendships in the future. To the class of “52”—We are leaving good old Westerly High in your hands—take good care of her. To each member of the class of “51”—Until we meet again, a sincere and heartfelt w'ish for the best of luck in all your undertakings. PAUL MEYER, President, Class of 1951 4 7 ►-
