EDITOR'S MESSAGE These four years of obtaining both knowledge and enjoy- ment will always be looked upon as one of the happiest and most profitable stages of our lives. As we leave the shelter of Wethersfield High School and step out into the broad world, may the seed of knowledge, planted in us by the faculty, be nourished, and ripen to the fruit of understanding and wisdom. Also, may the light of friendship, created through our hours of fun together, keep shining to bring us all the happiness and contentment possible. I sincerely want to thank you. the class of '51, for electing me editor-in-chief of our yearbook. It is an honor which I shall always remember and forever hold dear. To my staff editors and their staffs, I give my congratulations on work well-done. To Brown Studio and to O'Toole and Sons, Inc., I wish to extend my appreciation. My ,,,Ly .

Nothing can bring you peace but the triumph of principles. We are now at a turning point in our lives. Graduation trans- forms us from high school students into men and women. Now we must think independently and assume heavy responsibil- ities. Now we must make decisions which will affect us for the rest of our lives. High school has prepared us well to bear this added responsibility. We have certain facts and funda- mental principles necessary for survival in a scientific world. By using these fundamentals we have learned to think and build ideas. By working with others we have learned the im- portance of leadership, research, planning, and organization. By living with others we have learned the value of friendship, loyalty, honesty, and morality. We leave high school to make our way in an uncertain world. Any plans we make now may change as the world situation changes. Our primary aim at this time should be to support our country in every way possible so that we may pre- serve the high ideals which are a part of our American way of life. Success will come to each of us, in war or peace, if we practice friendship, loyalty, honesty, and morality.
