VC'eylandg an ideal cherished by teachers, students, and alumni, an ideal that represents American education at its best. Hall was founded and lives for the purpose of teaching students the lessons of the past, the greatness of the present, and the possibilities of the future.

Fine Arts - We come to realize the significance of the cultural aspects of life, we learn of the pleasures that come from music, from art, and from dance.

It is our fondest hope that you, the members of the Class of 1952, will find that the knowledge, the training and the insight you gained at the William Hall High School will stand you in good stead in shaping this into a brighter, a happier world. We shall rejoice with you in your triumphs and we shall grieve with you in your sorrows, but our best wishes will go with you always. . As you, the members of the Class of 1952, are anxiously waiting to take the next step in your careers, I would like to wish God-speed to each and every one of you. It is my sincere hope that nothing may interfere with the plans you have made, that the lessons you have learned at Hall High School may stand you in good stead, and that the places you carve for yourselves in society will call for the best you are capable of giving. If you face each new task with the same eager anticipation I have seen demonstrated this year, if you meer all new acquain- tances with the same happy smiles I have had flashed my way, and if you work with others with the same degree of cooperation l have experienced from each of you, I am sure that your tasks will be made easy and your rewards great. It is my earnest prayer that peace, both between nations and within each heart, may be yours in the days that lie ahead. -Henry A. Wayland Lara. l-IENRY I. RIVES Vice-Principal
