Times change and we change therewith. So quoted Dr. Walsh, that good friend of yours and mine, in his message in the last issue of the Black and Gold. After a long period of faithful duty as your principal, Dre Walsh has retired. And with that Changing of the timesy the honor has fallen to me to succeed him It is my hope and desire that I may do this well; that I may be helpful to you in your search for that foundation which will tend to prepare you best for a full and useful life.

DEDICATION With deepest respect and affection, we dedicate this issue of the Black and Gold to MR. BENTLEY MACKINTOSH, counselor for the Class of June nineteen hundred tortyative. Because of his thorough understanding of young people and their frequent problems, his untiring efforts in our be- half, and his constant interest in our weltare, we have come to seek his worthy advice and to appreciate the wisdom of his friendly guidance'. In years to come, when even the fond- est memories of high school days may have faded from our minds, we shall always remember his warm encouragement and sympathy, his sterling character and outstanding leader- ship. It's the song ye sing, and the smile ye wear That's a-making the sun shine everywhere. Editmiae Did you ever stop to think that it takes just as much energy to fail as it does to succeed? Too many people are defeated before they ever venture out into the world alone. Call it llhard luck if you will, but the proper name for it is laziness. Everyone of us has a tendency to be lazy. This laziness is a type of physical and mental inertia. Like the inertia described in science classes there are two kinds prevalent in everyday litee'qnertia of rest and inertia of motion,ll The first is the one that readily describes those who never do today what they can put off until tomorrow They do things by halves, and more often than not it is the wrong halt. The second inertia accompanies a positive way of thinking. As Bing Crosby said in a recent moving-picture, llToo many people have negative thoughts. It they want to succeed, what they ought to do is 'Accentuate the Positive'l ln other words, when you have a job to doeget busy. Almost before you realize it, your mission will be accomplished Now that you seniors are ready to venture out into the world to make your way along the highway of life, you will want to know how to succeed. It you will remember about the danger of wrong l'inertia , you will be ready to answer the door when Opportunity knocks. PHYLLIS PETERSON
