IIFIiDMBllEXWIIDlIBHD 12, THE ANNUAL STAFF OF 1954, 'believe that in making our book the voice of YOUTH we have chosen a timely theme. The press is Hooded with articles; thinkers ponder over the subject; questions are on every lip, What of Modern Youth? How opinions differ! We are bitterly con- demned. We are extolled and exalted. In the questionnaire which we have made the basis of the theme of our book, we believe that we have found truth. We submitted it to 600 Juniors and Seniors in our school, making every effort to secure frank and sincere answers. Certainly the questions have caused much interest and discussiotl through school halls. Because our class- mates tell us that there was no evasion, be- cause in one question in particular, the re- sult was tested in action and tallied within one per cent, we think that the answers rep- resent absolutely true opinions. So we give them to you hoping you will fmd them as interesting as we did. In the whole CXPrESt sion two characteristics of youth have stood out in emphatic clearness, franknest and idealitm. Can we hope to hold these quali- ties as we face the stress and strain of life? Staunchly we pray that we may and resolve that we must.
