From Our Principal Dear Parents: This is written as an open letter to you in an effort to familiarize you briefly with our educational mission. Public schools and education have come a long way from the old concept that they exist merely to impart knowledge to boys and girls who would soak it up in sponge-iike fashion. The schools of today are as different in methods and outlook from those of a hundred years ago as the modem automobile is different from the old horse and buggy. They have grown in stature and in wisdom. Enqiewood High School shares with other secondary schools in Chicago and throughout the United States the responsibility for developing all-around well-baianced personality in the boys and girls who come here. It is not e- nough to purvey knowledge of subject matter, because experience has taught us that a 'iiearried" man may be an unpleasant one, unable to get along With his feiiow-meri. He may have "swallowed the dictionary" but still be a poor example of American citizenship. He may be academically sound, but morally or physically sick. For these reasons the public schools have enlarged their horizons. Not only do they still present subject matter, but they have a re- medial attitude toward the slow learner which is far more humanitarian than the old "off with his head" policy which used to be the vogue in public school circles. More children are taught something today than ever before in contrast to the old quueeze-out" system under which a few of the best mentalities were taught to the exclusion of the lesser scholars. This requires patience, under- standing, and better-trained teachers, as well as new-type facilities and mate- rials of instruction. However, this is not considered enough. Iust as "man does not live by bread aloneX' so he cannot become a weil-balariced personality by study alone. Because he must live in a world with other people, he must learn to get along with other people, and in this learning, he must develop traits of character and personality which are socially desirable. Hence, we promote and. encourage clubs, teams, and socializing activities such as assemblies, proms, dances, athletics, dramatics, and special interest groups. Faculty spon- sorship is provided to the end that adult guidance and encouragement may develop all the latent traits of good citizenship in our boys and girls! loyalty, kindness, control of emotions, perseverance, the ability to listen, leadership, a sense of belonging, appreciation of other people, a basic honesty, patriotism, habitual good nature, good taste, and respect for work. It is a large order, and we recognize that it is not always achieved, but it is our vision. Civilization is a race between education and catastrophe, and without vision, the people perish. I I t s.

Willis, our General Superintendent of Schools; Dr. Thaddeus I. Lubera, our Assistant Superintendent in Charge of Secondary Education: and Dr. James H. Smith, out District Superin- tendent. Following are sketches of the three distinguished leaders and their careerseThe EditorsJ Dr. Benjamin C. Willis There was something finer than mere courtesy, something simpler yet deep- er than diplomacy m the welcome Dr. Benjamin C Willis, our General Superv intendent of Schools! gave a delegation of students who interviewed him for the PURPLE AND WHITE on November 16, 1954. There was something warmer in it than just good public relations. The natural heartmess of the man along with his ability to project himself intuitively into the mind of a teenager and see the high school students world through the eyes of a high school student somehow shone forth in the glow of his smile and was quickly conveyed through the very way he opened his office door and shook hands with his visitors. Instantaneousiy, and without visible effort, he gave the Engiewood repree sentatives a feeling oi being with an undeistanding friend. This was brought about not so much by what he said or did as by the kind of person that he is. The same elusive son'iethiha pervaded the atmosphere throughout the half! hour interview.

His primary ambition then was to become o lawyer, and he wors studying low with that end in view. But his second year of teaching proved so enjoyable he decided to remain permanently in the field of education. His greatest satisfaction professionally has come from the accomplishments of his former students and of teachers who have worked under his direction. In this connection he spoke of c: mom! formerly associated with him as 0 teacher, who had established c1 hospital in one community, improved schools in other'communities, and become president of o stote organization which did 0 great deal to advance agriculture.

THADDEUS J. LUBERA Should you happen to see a stocky man about five feet nine with a massive head and rather Wavy brown hair in a hlgh school core ridor anywhere in our great city, dont be surprtsed If someone says, "There goes Dr. Lubera. You know Thaddeus I. Lubera',, our As- sistant Superintendent in Charge of Secondary Educatlon. You'll be struck by the benign expression of his full face and the springy vigor of his walk, talk, and whole personallty: You should be too; for your welfare is much in his mind day and night. He is vitally interested in you w whether you be a student or a teacher. If you talk with him individually or hear h1m speak in pub- lic, however briefly, you'll quickly sense that he thinks, feels, dreams, hopes, plans during Virtually all his waking hours in terms related to the high schools and junior colleges of our vast metropolis. Specially close to his heart are the refining phases of education e those which mold character. Fittingiy thus one of his favorite words is refinement. His service in the Chicago public school system covers more than three decades. He has taught in elementary schooi and in high school. He has been an assistant principal in high school, an elemen- tary school principal, an evening school principal, a high school principal, and a district superintendent. In addition he has been an instructor in the Department of Education at De Paul University. What better preparation could he have had for his present influen- tial position? Moreover, his own higher education was equally comprehensive. A graduate of the Chicago Teachers College, he attended three other seats of learning also and received a degree from each of them: a BA. from Lewis Institute, an MA. from De Paul University, and a PhD. from the University of Chicago. High school students and high school teachers couldn't have a better friend than Thaddeus I. Lubera. Ever and always he is on the lookout for means of helping them make their various activities increasingly rewarding. DR. JAMES H. SMITH A man who uses words sparingly, Dr. James H. Smith, our District Superintendent, makes each one count. He is an engineer and a scientist. Fittingly thus he utilizes language in the manner of a tech- nician working with a precision instrument. At the same time, how- ever, he is unaffectedly human and has a sunny sense of humor. Dr. Smith's "prep" school education began in Canada and was completed at Tiiden Technical High School in Chicago. After grad- uating from Tiiden he went to the University of Illinois, where he took a BS. degree in engineering. Following this he attended the Univer- sity of Chicago, taking an MA. there, and then Loyola University, where he received the degree of Doctor of Education. Subsequently Bradley University awarded him a Doctor of Science degree. He has taught at an elementary school, at Fenger High School, and in the graduate school of Loyola University. He has been prin- cipal of Sherwood Elementary School, of Fenger High School, and of Lane Technical High School. We at Engiewood are fortunate, indeed, that such a careful man of deeds is at the helm of our district tDistrict Fivei. To him we are much indebted for the improvements we qet-particularly in the way of new facilities and equipment. He always sees to it that the schools in his district receive their due share of good and useful things. This is in keeping with his conviction that high school stue dents should get the fullest possible instruction an attitude for which he is widely known and highly respected.

Or maybe you look forward toward a career as a beautician or a teacher, a social worker or a secretary, an engineer or an accountant, a lawyer or a merchant. The list of possible vocational aspirations could be extended over pages. But whatever occupation or profession you choose: whether you become a farmer or a banker; whether you amass a fortune or manage only to make a mod- est livelihood; whether you remain an obscure John or Mary Doe or become President of the United States o-you'll be a man or woman, a citizen, and most likely not only a husband or wife but also a father or mother. Regardless, too, of whether your life work is to be a humble factory job or the kind that will bring you worldwide fame, you'll have lifelong opportunities to see the sun rise and set in breath-taking splendor and the stars bejewel the sky with sublime artistry, you'll be a witness to the magic and mystery which the sea- sons cast over the open country and to the ever-shiftinq paqeantry of day and night in teeming cities. You'll Have to Deal With People Whether you turn out to be a tailor, a bookkeeper, a scientist, or writer you'll have to deal with people; you'll make friends and enemies; you'll experience frustrations and tragedies, Victories and defeats; you'll have to cope with the problems of youth and adult- hood, middle age and old age.

It has to do wilth whether the practical or the theoretical should be stressed in education, whether the function of schools and colleges is mainly to develop the mind or to pre- pare young people directly for the specific demands of adult life. Common sense, it would seem, could take the thun- der out of this argument. Common sense suggests that a balance should be maintained between the two: the practical and the theoretical, the inculcation of ideas and training for specific tasks. Normal People Have Varied Interests Every normal person wants work, a job to do, a Chance to earn a living and play his or her part in the workaday world. And, in this connection, it should be stressed that being a housewife is most decidedly a job, and a Vital one. 14 Youth's Golden Dreams. school like I or at least balanced p6 t will have to be developed to a high degree of Certain Ct ' effectiveness. paring the E Bookkeeping that come rt an immediat English is t1".

Hope To Stimulate Interest Much of this is obvious, but much of it also is dis- regarded. It is hoped that making the development of the well-balanced personality the theme of the 1955 issue of the PURPLE AND WHITE will induce students and teachers to think about this aspect of a high school education. Thus they will be prompted to pay more attention to it. The idea of developing the well- balanced personality is certainly not new. Philoso- phers and educators have been aware of its import- ance for more than two thousand years. But at no time has the need for well-balanced personalities been as urgent as at present. Immediately ahead of us lies a whole new range of possibilities for the betterment and enrichment of hu- man life. Likewise, we are confronted with a whole new range of horrifying possibilities for destruction and the spread of destructive ideas. The development of well-balanced personalities is of Oh! The magic of the artist's brush- inestimable importance in this connection. In a sense the whole future of mankind depends upon it. I. Z.

A normal per- son has other interests, desires, objectivesepotentially a considerable variety of them. This is becoming in- creasingly evident and increasingly important as work- ing hours are progressively shortened and leisure time increased. It is for these reasons that a representative high school like Englewood is concerned with developing, or at least helping develop, in its students the well- balanced personality. Certain courses are offered for the purpose of pre- paring the student directly for this or that kind of job. Bookkeeping, stenography, and typing are examples that come readily to mind. Other courses have both an immediately practical and a broadly cultural value. English is the most prominent subject in this category. Art is another. The sciences and the social sciences, likewise, have both an academic and a utilitarian significance. Shop and home economics courses are mainly prac- tical. But they also play a part in the strengthening of self-confidence and self-respect. Physical education and health courses not only contribute to the develop- ment of the body and the improvement of coordination but also further the attainment of a general sense of wellbeing.

S. Savings Bonds in a city. wide contest among high school students. This contest was cohducted by the New York Life Insurance Company, developer of the Lake Meadows Housing Protest and Shopping Center. That it was written by Mark Upchurch, a member of Englewood's graduating class of June. 1955, makes us exceedingly proud.eThe EditorsJ Chicago is my city. I have lived here all my life. I am very proud of it and the contributions and advancements it has given to the civilized world. There is still a whole world of advancement ahead for Chicago in this oncoming atomic age. What advancements wiII Chicago have made perhaps five cen- turies from now? I have given this matter serious thought and here are some of my views as to how I would like to see Chicago designed in the future. When I take my imaginary visit to Chicago of 2454 AD. I shall be surprised to find no streets, highways, roads or alleys of any sort. What became of them? I shall discover that Chicago's transportation system had gone under- ground. The roadway system was converted into a new safe remotely con- trolled subway for transportation vehicles. This subway I shall find is con- stantly lighted by atomic energy and there are convenient entrances from every City street. Other reVqutionary changes in the Chicago of the future, CIS I Visualize it, will be the elimination of telephone wiring and the sewerage system. The tele- phone wires will be replaced by an electronic wireless system of telephone communication. An irrigation arrangement employing a unique canal system will utilize the city's rainwater to irrigate all of its lawns and gardens. Any excess water will be quickly vaporized by atomic powered vents. Smoke producing factories will be eliminated by machinery and production controlled by smokeless atomic energy. Cleaner, fresher air and c1 greater margin of health will be enjoyed by OH. Street lights will be unnecessary because of luminous sidewalks. These sidewalks will be made of a revolutionary plastic product Which will be very easy on the feet and Iong testing. In addition sidewalks located in busy shop- ping districts will be movable to aid shoppers. The most marvelous advancements made by the future Chicago will be in connection with the buildings themselves. New and amazing features like automatic buiIdinq cleaners, universal escalator service, mobile hallways, fuel abolishing electronic heating and air conditioning, unbreakable, trans- parent, fibre glass walls, and even mechanical robots will be present in busi- ness and residental buildings of the future. Lawns and trees will flourish over the entire city. Beautiful fountains will be found on every street corner of the downtown area. Extensive housing projects will add beautiful acres to our city and eliminate the problems of slums. The city will expand and comfortable living quarters will be acquired by everyone. Our que front will have become c1 receiving end for tourists and trade from all over the world, Beautiful public parks Will add much culture and beauty to the city. Hard working, ambitious, and far-Visioned citizens can make such 0: dream City cm actuality for our future generations. . .-Mammwttmmw... -mwwwwh acts WWW .: i:llt1it Ww mi xmlwllox, wIllmxxm knwwn a: mu $341111 Snlllvwol xmuIV Shun.

The new Spanish Club accepts as its members all present or former stu- dents of Spanish. Its president is Mary Martinez. It gave its first public pro- gram in April, 1955. Pcrn-Americanism was featured, and will continue to be promoted in the club's various activities. The Record Society, membership in which is open to all students and teach- ers, has CIS its objectives the purchase and playing and discussion of especial- ly worthwhile records. Mostly these will be musical, but some will be dra- matic, some recitations, some historic speeches. The Society has already acquired CI number of records and derived great satisfaction from hearing and analyzing them. The Camera Club, the youngest of all our new student organizations, gives promise of stimulating notable achievements in the field of photography.

Foreign Language Assembly A High-Light Of Fall Semester One of the memorable school events of the 1954 Fall Semester was the For- eign Language Assembly held on October 27. The Latin, Spanish, and French departments participated. Classes taught by Mrs. Harris, Mr. Gordy, Miss Keating, Miss Holmes, and Miss Hutfcxker were represented. The program was delightfully effective and entertaining. An ancient Roman wedding ceremony was the opening scene. Other scenes included the Pledge to the Flag in Spanish, by Etta Price; counting in Spanish, by Frances Samuels; the singing of La Cucuracha in Spanish, by Miss Keating's Spanish 4 class; and impressions of La Raspe, the Mexican Hat Dance, by the Spanish Club e under the direction of Miss Holmes. Members of the French 3 class told Why they study that language. The French 5 and 6 Classes sang La Seine. a song dedicated to the Seine River - which flows through Paris .. and Dites Moi Pourquoi from "South Pacific."

Face To Face By Alba Biagini During the 1953-54 school year Miss Biagini, of our Biology Department, taught at the University of London Institute of Education. Thus she exchanged places with Miss Butler. who for two terms took over Miss Biagini's classes at Englewood. It is fitting. therefore, that. having published Miss Butler's stirring impressions of America last year, the PURPLE AND WHITE should this year carry Miss Biaqini's lively impressions of EnglandeThe Editorst The purpose of the exchange of teachers internationally is to provide opportunities for observing people in countries other than one's own while they're at work and play. It is hoped that this will foster better understanding among nations. Vfith that in mind the United States Government sent one hundred American teachers to EngIand, Ireland, and Scotland as unofficial ambassadors of good will to take over for one year the positions left by that number of British teachers who came to A- merica in exactly the same capacity to teach tor the same length of time. What a tremendous experience it was for me to be assigned in London for a whole school year as one of the fortunate hundred. As a result this fabulous old City and the glori- ous English countryside have found a perma- nent lodging pIace in my mind and heart which time will never be able to wear away. Big Ben has left an oft-recurring echo in my consciousness, and the River Thames stiII tIows vividly before my mind's eye. A high school course in Eninsh Iiterature had given me a poetic qumpse of "merrie oIde England" through the qux; rind a bit of English history. My childhood rrmdjrw had in; troduced me to Robin Hood, The Knights of the Round Table, and a wide range of lords and ladies; but all this had not prepared me for the overwhelming beauty of the tiny land, for the sights and sounds in city and country, town and hamIet, tor the magnificent structures left by generations past. Above all I Was greatly surprised by the warm friendship and generous hospitality shown me by the Enghsh people, whom we misiabel as reserved, aus- tere and haughty. I am firmly convinced that Americans know IittIe or nothing about the British except that we fought to tree ourselves from dominance by their government in 1776-83 and that their smaII island homeland once commanded a world empire. THE BATTLE OF ACCENTS We think of British accents. It surprised me to find I had an American accent 777 about which I was teased constantly, but not without retort. We think of England as the land of high teas and crumpets. What about our hot dogs and cokes? By the way I introduced to my English friends the sharp delights of Wiener roastsi We think of the London fog, and III admit I was heartily disappointed because I managed to glimpse onIy a few respectable pea-soupers all winter! I expected pageantry linked with the 01d traditions, and happily I found it. I saw pages as it were lifted right out of King Arthur's Court, Ivanhoe. Rob Roy, and history books, much to my delight and that of other Americans. We lined the streets to view these coiortut cere- monies and traditional spectacles, in which present-day knights and royaIty partic1pated. Understanding Britishers stepped aside to let American visitors wriggIe up to the front for a better look. I saw patient and courageous people stow- ly but surely putting themselves up, after tour- teen years of meat rationing and thirteen years of butter ratioinq, and clearing away the last remnants of devastation left by World War II. I saw a courteous people 7 7 not merer polite, but genuinely considerate with an extreme respect for the older generation, for their lead- ers in government tregardtess ot partyi, and for their Royal Family, who set the pattern of gentleness and dignity. TAKE TIME TO LOOK A THING OVER The British are said to move at a slower pace than Americans. I think this is true but it stems from a distrust of all extremes as well as a reluctance to change just for the sake of changing. They are more apt to take their time looking a thing over and digesting it thoroughly, discarding that which is of no use and retaining that which has some value. They are determined and unshakeabie when it comes to basic principles. Their spirit of free- dom matches their love of learning and doing tContinued on page 47I Englewood Players Chalk Up Another Bell-Ringing Triumph W'e11, to1ks, just as you would expect from their past performances, the Eng1ewood Players, directed by Mrs. Ledbetter, chalked up another be11-ring- ing triumph Oh the evening ot Ionuary 12, 1955.

We know next to nothing about the unique British geography and exquisite ccountryside, which is as varied and picturesque as our own only on a smaller scale. tBigness doesn't neces- sarily indicate betterness.l How wonderful are the rolling hills of southern England, the miles of seashore and cl;tt formations, the desolate and haunting moors, the ri:h river valleys that nourish crops and orchards or provide pastur- age for the dairy industry. Intensive farming has carved up all the available land into fields divided by hedge- rows neatly trimmed, or by miles of stone fences beautifully kept. This gives the land a distinctive combed and brushed look. The quaint and very old inns found in the tiny hamlets or towns or scattered along the roads are delightful reminders of days gone by. The houses themselves are masterpieces of stone masonry and intricate patterns. You find some- thing different in every county. Each county offers an individual appearance, a distinct language inflection, its own folk lore, special cookery, and memorable showplaces to which any inhabitant will guide you with a fierce pride. In Yorkshire you find the people drop their h's and adore Yorkshire Pudding and Parkin. In Devorshire folks fight off the Devonshire Pixies while making their untorgettably deli- cious Devonshire cream. So it goes from county to county. THE POETS DIDN'T EXAGGERATE The mountains of Wales and the Scottish Highlands are as rough and exciting as the Lake District is soothing and breath-taking. The Iake District, by the way, looks exactly as Wordsworth and Shelley saw it in their poetry. If variety is the spice of life then the British have it in good measure. They are enthusiastic hikers, cyclists, and motorists. They travel all over their country. The most remote places can be reached in a matter of hours, or at the most a day or so. The young People spend all their holidays hostelinq. Miss Butler, my opposite number texchangel, came to America to see the technical advances made by a nation much larger and younger than her own. She found a scene quite un- ' uwyuw J. r .- ' known to most of her own people, for, to match the American ignorance in regard to Great Britain, there is an equal British ignorance con- cerning American lite. She found giant build- ings, broad highways, superstructures, etc. I, on the other hand, found the old world tradition from which America took her founda- tions and upon which she built the innovations necessary for her own unique development. I saw the independent shopkeeper still taking great pains with his wares, the narrow streets winding in and out and roundabout. London, Edinburgh, Dublin and Glasgow are far from old worldish with regard to merchandise. Yet even in these large cities one can find rem- nants of former days in side streets, in some shops, and in certain whole districts. All of this delights the English, the Irish, and the Scotch as well as the Americans. One would have to be very superficial not to enjoy these remainders and reminders of the past. FASCINATING DIFFERENCES Of secondary importance is the question: Which is better or worse? The fascinating "differences" are appealing, regardless of whether one would or would not like them as part of one's permanent environment. My year abroad taught me above all that it isn't im- portant to judge whether something is better or worse than its counterpart in America. What is important is to realize that it IS different. and to attempt to understand and appreciate the reasons why it is different. It is a mistake to compare too closely. It all hinges on the values, standards, and ideals of a people; and this is determined to a large extent by cultural back- ground and heritage. An American is an American because of these factors. So is an Englishman. We must understand each other better and be willing to learn from one another those things which will fit into our own modes and methods. Others should be rejected without condem- nation or arrogance. It goes without saying that this give and take should operate in both directions across the ocean. Ignorance gives rise to misconceptions and false notions. So I'm going back to visit Ye Olde England again, as soon as I can, to learn a bit more. Want to come along? It's jolly good tun.

Our 1954 low score of 28 points has been bettered on1y once in the twenty-seven year history of the Chicago Championship meet, and then by the great Englewood team of 1951 which set the record 10W score of 21 points. Our team was in 1954 again undefeated in City competition, losing only in the state Cham- pionship meet at Urbana, Illinois, where our boys finished in eleventh p10ce. Eng1ewood also won the 1954 Bloom Township invitationo1 meet, detecting strong teams from Oak Park, LG Grange, Ioliet, Dunbar and Du Sable. In addi- tion we were victorious in seven dual meets, concluding the season with on easy victory in $52391 Wilma .,tmtmm:bwfftsif arv'j?

FOOTBALL Our Team Improves Coach Yamadq had in 1954 few veterans from the previous year's team to build around, but results achieved were better than the year before. Our gridiron huskies won cx game, tied in two, and lost three. We opened the season by dropping the HLittle Brown Shield" contest to Hyde Park 19 to 14. Next we lost to the sectioncd champs, Du Sable, by the score of 28 to 0. From then on our boys began to C1ick, whipping Farragut 20 to 7, tying Bowen 19 to 19, losing to Parker 6 to 0, and tying Harper 7 to 7. Or1cmdo Denson, left halfback; Cicero Brooksl center; and George Miles, captain and right end, received honor- able mention by sports writers in their sec- tional and city-wide selections. The following boys received footba11 1etters for the 1954 season : David Bates, Cicero Brooks, Oscar Cannon, Arthur Clay, C1arence Daniels, Orlando Denson, Wilham Dozier, Ronald Jones, Thears Iudkins, Roscoe King, Ioe Logan, George Miles, Torrienti Mittche11, Carl Riddick, kickie Sewe11, Melvin Sims, Eugene Smith, and Fred White. SWIMMING We're Getting Into The Swim of Things Again Iames Walton was chosen captain of the 1955 Swimming Team. Members of the aggre- gation are selected from the winners in the in- tramural swimming contests held each semes- ter. The best swimmers of the various advanced swimming classes are thus brought into the varsity team. The fall semester produced the following upper-division intra-mural champs: Arthur Clay, Clarence Normand, William Dozier, and Bennie Allen. 1n the junior division the fol1ow- ing were the top winners: Joseph Jones, Lloyd Saunders, John Bell, and Anthony Fortenberry. During the spring semester as well CI number of lads have shown noteworthy abihty in the swimming pool. They are: Robert Willis, Ronald Du Bose, Ronald Harvey, Adolphus Molsby. Ellis Harvwell, Norman Cross, Iohn Vance, Ernest Davis, Fred Richardson, Paul Fortenber- ry, Earl Leonard, Vernon Myrick, Edward Iohn- son, William Eiland, Renauld Cross, Douglas Kimbrough, Lee Nicholson, Percy Brooks, Les- lie Kincade, Roman Chavez, and Rona1d Bar- nett.

A few of our boys, however, showed enough improvement to be entered in the City Meet. More Enqlewood fellows are passing the Red Cross swimming tests every semester. This is an indication that Englewood may soon again be in 0 position to participate in city champion- ship swimming competition with full represen- tation. BASEBALL Plenty of Room For Improvement The past few years our baseball record has been poor. During the 1954 season the team won only two white losing fourteen games. The following boys wort their letter for the season: Charles Adams, Cicero Brooks, Earl Brown, Edgar Cameron, Theqrs Iudkins, George Miles, Emile Nicholas, Donald Scott and Archie Wash- mqton. BASKETBALL A Good Start, But e We started our season with victories over Hyde Park and South Shore, but then lost tour in CI row to Phillips, Morgan Park, Hyde Park! and Du Sable before winning from Harper. We were then defeated by Parker in our first game in the Illinois Tech Holiday Tournament. In our conference games after the holidays we won three and lost six contests. This gave us an over-Qil record of six wins and eleven losses for the season. George Miles was selected GS our acting cap- tain tor the first twelve games. These were played before his graduation Cit mid-yeotr. Or- lando Densori received honorable mention in the sectional Qil-star selection.

Some of you, being 335 this semester, still have or year and o half of high school to look forward to. In any corse, however, you'll soon be seniors. As such it will be up to you to set an example for the rest of the school. You'll be expected to serve as models of good conduct, good scholarship, good citizen- ship. You'll have the responsibility of set- ting the tone for the entire student body. This is something to think about, and now is the time to begin thinking about it. You con have or glorious time as sen- iors, but in o desirable way only if you do your very best as students. You don't have to become solemn, long-foced drudges; but you should reodize that you are no longer smoll children, that you are now well on the way toward becoming full- fledged personalities with G whole new range of challenging possibilities.

Neither did the old man who made the re- mark. It was merely his way of focusing attention on the beauty, the glory, the power of youth and the heedless way all too many youngsters kick their most priceless treasure Ground. Oh, if one could but retain all the freshness and Vitality of youth while acquir- ing to the full the ripe wisdom Which only advanced age seems to bring; or if one could ottoin rounded Wisdom While still in the full bloom of early youth. Either of these combinations would require a miracle - a miracle we can only hope science will sometimes somehow evolve. Meanwhile, graduates of 1955, we appeal to you to give your youth a chance to do all it com for you and others. ; The Freshies look upon you with awe as high and mighty adults or near- ; adults. And they're right, from their standpoint; for everything, as you know, or nearly everything at least, is relative. Though you're very young, you stand on the threshold of adulthood. Your youth won't stay put. You can't place it in storage. As you enter upon the next phase of your lite-ewhether it be as 0 college student, Ct worker in commerce or industry, a member of the U. S. Armed Forces, or CI homemaker on your own-don't fritter away your youth. Use it fully, constructively, understondingly.
