ADIVIINISTRATIO Dr. Breen - Principal ' 1976 is notable as the Bicentennial Year. lVluch has been said and written about this memorable event. The first two centuries of American democracy have been filled with events worthy of note. Great progress has been made toward the attainment ofthe ideals so eloquently expressed by the founding fathers. As the nation has matured, goals have been sharpened and refined. During this bicentennial year we should reflect on the progress that has been made. It is equally appropriate that we reflect on progress yet to be made. America has come a long way. But this is not a time for complacency. Neither is it a time for the cynicism that has been adopted by many as a substitute for inadequacy or unwillingness. There is great hope! Hope lies in the hands of the youth of America - and not in a generalized youth , It lies specifically in your hands, you, the graduates of the class of 1976 and those young people following you! Look to the ideals of America! Ask yourselves how we have fallen short. Search your mind and conscience for solutions. Make the commitments and sacrifices necessary to attain that commitment. Examine our history, not to blame previous generations for errors of omission or commission but rather to see what has occurred with a view - and a vow -to avoid the mistakes of the past. The future is in your hands. We, your teachers, have done all we can to see that they are capable hands. Don't disappoint us! Q, I 164
