MUUNT TAHUMIYS EFFIEIENT LEADERS ll The challenge of the world to high school graduates was never greater than it is today. Violent changes are taking place. Minorities in our own country are demanding equality, as guaranteed by the Constitution. Coun- tries all over the world are no longer satisfied to be the pawns of imperialistic powers. Everyone wants the kind of life that will give him freedom, equality, and recognition. Present and future citizens will have some difficult and important decisions regarding the place of these peoples in our local and worldfwide communities. Unbelievable changes are taking place in science. Every few months new and startling reports tell us about the next step in space flight. Before long someone will be landing on the moon. After this development, the whole universe will be within reach. The new advancement begun by these explorations will radiate throughout the entire world. The economy will explode with new demands. New frontiers will be opened for exploration. And again, many decisions will have to be faced by the citizens of this country f individual and national ones. Rapid changes are continuing to take place in our economy. Automation is creeping into every business and industry. lt is beginning to be felt by those with unskilled and semi-skilled positions - - they are losing their jobs. Television programs are beginning to picture men who have been successful production workers but who are now walking the streets without a source of income. This means retraining, re-education, reedevelopment of skills to fit a new way of life. Decisions againl ln reality, everywhere the high school graduate looks today he sees the necessity for devisions. He must choose from a multitude of occupations for his life work, he must choose from a plethora of training institutions for further education, he must choose where he wants to live. And in addition, he must be ready to help make decisions in an increasingly complex world of human relations. The staff at Mount Tahoma has tried to present a curriculum of general education that would help each student to become better prepared to make some of these decisions. We hope we have been succssful. More than this, however, we hope that we have given to each graduate the desire to continue to learn and grow. It is only by continued growth that we shall be able to successfully face the future and the important choices that must be made. On behalf of the entire staff, l wish to express to each of you sincere best wishes for your future. sixty Four FRANK PRICE 9' tj - Principal A644-
