THE WHEELS OF PRCGRESS f Before attempting to explain the meaning of our theme, the Wheels of Progress, I'd like you to meet our friend Dinks, the typical student of Summit High School. Dinks is here to show us through the pages that follow. Of course that is rather a hard assignment and Dinks doesn t like to work 'too hard, so we'll let him take along his trusty automobile tbetter described as a jalopyl: that is, if you folks don't mind the exhaust! Dinks is seldom seen without his car. It is the vehicle that carries him forward-his wheels of progress. When you think of it, doesn't the school bear the same relationship to us as the automobile does to Dinks? We are seldom seen away from school, its influence, or its accoutrements fthat's a ten dollar word that means equipmentl. lsn't the school the vehicle that carries us forward to higher understanding? lsn't it our wheels of progress? Let us imagine Summit High School as our car and follow Dinks as he drives us through our yearbook. Mr. Bartholomew is the ignition system and the faculty are the spark plugs of our imaginary vehicle. In it we have traveled far along the broad highway of progress. During the years to come, we will have to drive our own car. We have a good start. Let's keep the Wheels of Progress turning. Well, Dinks, now it's up to you. l've had my say! -the editor 51,- ,1. ,,- ,.. 5 'I' ii Wim, gm
