Dedication Peace — as a word — cold, uncompromising, and feelingless: a noun meaning harmony or quiet or security. ' Unfortunately peace as an actuality is more difficult to define and even harder to obtain. Like a kaleidoscope, peace is many faceted — with the pictures changing at the slightest movement. Today the world is faced with various peace problems. Some are national; some local; and some are of a school nature. As Greeks and Turks fire upon each other in Cyprus, negroes and whites are doing the same thing right here in the U.S. We, the citizens and future leaders of our nation, must meet problems in Cuba, South America, the U.S.S.R., and recenriy in Red China. Yet, still we fight for the rights of our citizens. Peace can be realized only wherever men are willing to work and struggle together instead of against one another. Peace is idealistic; yet it must be obtained — sometime, somewhere, somehow — for not only today ' s generation, but tomorrow ' s and future tomorrows as well. To be an idealist promotes growth in mind and action, a necessity for finding world tran- quility. Seeking peace and hoping for its realization, the staff of the 1964 Helios Annual dedicates this book to the prospect of peace for all mankind. Because we believe thai living and working together peacefully is a reality here at Central, we show a representative group of studen ts raising the flag, as a symbol of our unity. They are Ruth Ann Booker, Noncy Hogerman, Larry Scudder, Tony Saenz, Esther Ryu, and Rita DeBruin.
