We have been destined to live our lives in a time of great world turbulence and change; a time that has been characterized as a race in human history between education and catastrophe. One of the prime challenges of education in these turbulent times - for all Americans - is the global challenge for us to assume our potential role as the leader of the international community of nations. This is a role which demands of us as a notion and as individuals a far greater understanding of other peo- ples and places than we have ever known. To paraphrase President Kennedy, the great currents of history ore carrying the world away from communism and towards national independence and freedom. No one can doubt that the wave of the future is not the conquest of the world by a single dogmatic creed but the liberation of the diverse energies of free nations and free men. We must seize the vision, the challenge of a free and diverse world, and shape the poli- cies of our country to speed the progress toward a more flexible world order. Principle, understanding, knowledge and wisdom, not expediency, must guide our decisions. All people must be treated with the dignity and humanity which we want for ourselves. ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL MICHAEL E. GANCE

Whether it be at work or at play, whether it be with friend or foe, we are constantly being challenged. Challenge seems to be the everlasting, self-winding spring that coils us into action. To dare, to venture, or to contest is man's way of accepting the chal- lenge in his search for a better tomorrow. Yet, the same challenge can be man's way of destroying himself and tomorrow. You, the students, are our challenge and knowledge is our main spring for better understanding. We trust that today's challenges are memorable stepping stones for a successful future in a peaceful world. PRINCIPAL MARTIN BORTNICK JR.
