However, Southeast is still running much as before except for adding these many new activities to her already full schedule of old ones. The progress of a student at Southeast can very aptly be com- pared with that of a young boy in Medieval times whose hope and ambition was to become a Knight. He entered the Castle of the Nobility at an early age. He was first of all a Page and then as he advanced further, he became a Herald. Later, he was made a Squire, and as a final great achieve- ment, he attained Knighthood. As he made progress through these various ranks, he received constant instruction and helpful guidance from the Guildmasters. He joined various Orders in which he made further detailed study along lines in which he was especially interested, or in which he merely found a new and better way of amusing himself. He and his fellow aspirants for Knighthood found many ways in which to use their varying talents. Some were interested in Scrolls and Scrips: others were lured by Pageantry, and then there were those who exhibited their prowess in Tournaments. Also, many, who wished to specialize later, found many opportunities in which to gain valuable experience by assisting the Nobility and the Guild- masters in their specialized fields. These were the apprentices. After reaching Knighthood, many a Knight heard the call to follow a quest and thus became a Knight-errant, just as many a former Southeast Knight has heard the call to follow the quest of democracy and has become an opponent of tyranny and despotism. 1 l l

. X- . A-f 1,D h,7f'7f'fw4A.xC4 44 f Mr. ,MQW fwcfmzzm Mi. gems DMM Principal Vice-Principal EDMHNH Dear Seniors: During the past four years your mental capacities have been directed to the acquisition of useful knowledge, the fonnation of desirable habits and skills, and the development of socially approved attitudes and appreci- ations. In this, you have worked in harmony with God's plan that man is to have power over all created things. It follows logically, therefore, that man should become informed concerning His creations. Thus, education is the basis for the advancement of God's plan. The mental process of reasoning is accomplished when facts and information are put together in new com- binations. This is the simple yet complex and highly organized thinking procedure of men and women who have made worth while contributions to our civilization. Yet, these men and women created nothing: neither did they destroy anything. Instead, they discovered God's laws that were made in the beginning and dared to form new combinations in their thinking. They reasoned. The new harmonizing combinations broke forth into new meanings and manifested the glories of the wonders of His works as evidenced by the telephone, airplane, submarine, radio, television, The Declaration of Independence, The Gettysburg Address, and The Atlantic Charter. Education, therefore, is the basis and the process of reasoning which, in turn, is the basis for the future of any nation. As you face the difficulties confronting you during the present crisis, may you experience the same faith and confidence in God and the resulting courage that Captain Eddie Bickenbacker and his seven companions found during their terrifying experiences on their rafts on the Pacific Ocean. Best wishes to each of you. Sincerely, 4 Wa. elffczfwq WGXWLQQM
