The goal of Americans over the years has been the good life. The ideal of what constitutes the good life varies with individuals. Essentially, however, American fathers and mothers have worked hard so that their children would not have things as tough as their parents uhad itf, Sometimes this has been the drive and sole reason for going to school. Now Americans must face this stark fact. Ma- terial well-being does not guarantee happiness. Ease of work and short hours of themselves do not bring the good life. Going to school, even gradua- tion, docs not necessarily insure life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness to the individual. The important thing is the use we make of ma- terial prosperity. To what end will we direct our energies? What will we do with our free time? What doors will we open with our high school di- ploma? As you join nearly 1800 other CTHS alumni, we challenge you to accept the responsibility of your graduation. This is not a soft ride but a difficult task. It is still the frontier call to a better life-the good life. We wish you Godspeed. Telford B. Blough Supervising Principal 1:96 C PTAINS 0F OUR SHIP 10 Every person at birth embarks on a journey that will be unique. En route many ports and stations are visited-each experience contributing to the educa- tion and mental attitudes of the traveller. The im- pressions received vary greatly because of differ- ences in each individual's training, environment, interests and capabilities. What one perceives and enjoys along the way de- pends upon the attitudes and viewpoints of the ob- server. Scientists believe that few, if any, make use of as much as one seventh of their intellectual power. A stroller may pass through a field and encounter only dirt, weeds, bugs and a. mud hole. Another on the same footpath might notice the soil, insects, flowers, birds and a spring. A third on the same course would have an entirely different conception. He would see what the others saw and much more. Many of the inhabitants would be known by name. Relationships between soil and plants, plants and insects, birds and the others would flash through his mind. Recognition of pollination, reproduction, seeds, food, shelter, beauty, highly developed types of activity would add much pleasure to his life. What will your level be as you continue on the trip to the unknown? Each traveler might profitably ponder Richard Wagner's words, Joy is not in thingsg it is in us. Mr. Paul C. Berkebile High School Principal
