There were times when high school graduates looked into the future and made plans, with the feeling that the world about them was stable, static and unchanging, that only they were going to change, and make changes. Great world-changing events of the past few decades have followed each other in such swift succession that the things of yesterday are out of date, planes, bombs, cars, refrigerators, books, clothes, ideas, and discoveries of yesterday and today out of date and old fashioned. Education was designed to equip you, class of '53, with knowledge, skills, ideals, and character which will give you reasonable stability in an ever- changing world, and to fit you to help mold those changes that occur into desirable patterns. Con- tinued progress is assured only as each generation in turn uses its trained abilities in that way. cfm sag ELLIS M. HOSTETLER PRINCIPAL Y! NM ?
