DEDICATION We, the Senior Class, would like to dedicate this twenty-first publication of the Oracle to the man on the faculty known as Stace . Graduating in 1930, with a Bachelor of Science degree from Bowling Green State Uni¬ versity, Donald A. Stacy came here to Whitmer. He taught physical education and biol¬ ogy, and was coach of all athletic activities, which then were basketball, baseball, foot¬ ball and track. In that same year, Mr. Stacy and Mrs. Gladys Rust were co-authors of the famous Whitmer circus. Through Mr. Stacy ' s leadership, we celebrate this year the performance of the seventeenth annual circus. In 1937, he received his Master ' s Degree from Bowling Green. In 1945, advisor to the yearbook and Senior Class was he. Devoted to his teaching profession, Mr. Stacy also has been a contractor and registered basketball and football official for sixteen years. Mr. Stacy, the spicy little advisor of this 1951 Senior Class, has helped us come out in the clear on the Junior Play, designed the float for which we received first prize, and directed our Senior Class Play. Yes, we, the Senior Class, wish to express deep-felt thanks and true gratitude for all things accomplished to that man on the facutly affectionately known as Stace . . . 6

OUR MAJORITY Twenty-One! Yes, Whitmerites, this marks 21 years of recording the annual events and activities of our classes here at Whitmer. The Seniors, especially, like to observe this twenty-first year, as it is a symbol of all things that mean we ' re grown-ups. As we graduate and make our way into the cruel, cruel world, we look ahead to the year when we will be 21. Voting and many other opportunities available only to adult life, then knock on our door. Today our world is in great turmoil, and beset in some quarters of the Nation by sinful destruction. Morals are per¬ haps at low ebb, but throughout all this, young Christian men and women still look forward to their twenty-first birthday. To some, it is perhaps a sign of great age; to others, the achievement of entering a night spot; but to all it should be attainment of age linked with knowledge acquired throughout these few years. So, Twenty-One, we salute you! In the three years left to look ahead, may we all consider what it really means to reach the magic era, the first step of which is: becoming 21.
