Mr. A. Imrie Dixon Principal VERITAS et HUMANITAS — TRUTH AND SERVICE It is with mixed feelings of pride and humility that we look back on the past and take soundings before we move forward to new conflicts and new fields of endeavor. It is men and ideas which have constructed our past and it will still be men and ideas which will forge our future. An age of automation — of IBM machines — cannot displace the need for creativity, originality, and know-how. Let us not forget that the epic of America is its discovery of the submerged powers of the ordinary person. The American experience has proved that it pays to invest in young people, to gamble daringly on many kinds of quality — not just top brains, but to make vital the many and varied talents of all. That is what is meant by a comprehensive high school with a program such as ours. All of you have found a beginning here. The complex forces at work on your charac- ter and potential powers have been quietly moulding the personality which is you. A poet once said I am a part of all that I have met.” A little bit of all the vast storehouse of knowledge and experience is within you. As you go on from here, take with you that heritage to guide you along the pathways of the future. 4
