In an era in which individuals are being replaced by machines, the big question is — what becomes of the in- dividual ? The pressures of our time are unfavorable to the develop- ment of the individual. The age of automation, the influ- ential role of mass media, and our increasing population have given impetus to the national drift toward conformity. Creative individuality must be nourished in a society which now depends for its survival on creativity and intellectual rather than on physical prowess. In a world of conflicting national aspirations, of heightening demand for a more equitable distribution of the world’s goods, of new vistas revealed by space and atomic research— in such an era, intellectual and creative individuality is vital. What must we do to have a superb country? Let us educate a generation of imaginative and creative individuals; let us honor imagination and creativity; but at the same time, let us reaffirm high moral values. Then our country can take care of itself. G. C. Davis, Principal
