Our Fiftieth Anniversary was a memorable occasion, and will encourage us in trying to make the Founder's Day that begins our next fifty years a big success. When we return to school in the fall we may look forward to seeing shining buildings, freshly painted walls and nice clean rooms. The campus also, will lie in keeping with the season, for it will be in the height of Its fall beauty. It is nice to reminisce of yesterday, but after all it is the adventurous tomorrow that we seek.
