J. FRANK HASSETT To the Members of the Senior Class: The Age of Security has arrived in our country. Federal and State Laws now re¬ quire all working citizens or their employer, and in some cases both, to set aside a small portion of their earnings for security in their old age. Some of you will continue your education in September at schools of higher learn¬ ing; others among you will enter immediately into the competitive field of employment. You will be told about Social Security Withholding, Labor Union Membership, Blue Cross Health Insurance, U. S. Savings Bonds, etc., which will be withheld from your salary wherever you work. Although these withholdings will lower your take home salary, all are worthwhile benefits which will later help to guarantee security should you become ill, unemployed, or eventually reach the compulsory retirement age. Lest we forget, we do live in a Modern City, a Progressive Commonwealth, and a County which has God’s Blessing. Opportunities are numerous, and your chances for success in life are excellent. Congratulations to you, and to your Parents upon your completion of your high school course. J. Frank Hassett Superintendent of Schools

Dedication DORIS T. LYNCH LOUISE S. MAWN This issue of the INNITOU would never have been a success were it not for the many afternoons of hard work and helpful guid¬ ance afforded us by our kind advisers. We shall always remem¬ ber the many hours of patient assistance in our behalf. We, the class of Nineteen Fifty, therefore, take pleasure in dedicating this issue to Miss Doris T. Lynch and Miss Louise S. Mawn as a small token of gratitude.
