ADMINISTRATIO gvfrqf' -f LEONARD G, N YSTHOM A'-ff ' Principal of Alamo Heights Senior High School Bachelor of Arts, Northwestern University Master of Arts, Southern Methodist University A MESSAGE FROM TI-IE PRINCIPAL These are my most tragic and satisfying and hopeful days. Tragic clouds saturated with blood and sweat and tears hang threateningly in the midst of buoy- ant life like a deadening and suffocating blanket over the halls of this public high school. There is no glory in war that snuffs out the light of life in my beloved boysy there is no comfort in bestial struggle that is forcing the love of culture and humanity from the souls of our youth into hate and murder. And my heart has cried out in anguish as the news has fallen upon us eight times with a sickening thud that yet another of those l knew and loved so very few years gone by had given up his chance to live on, -- and he, too, loved life. Gut of our tears will always come the clarifying rainbow of satisfaction. For years I have defended youth against charges of softness and irresponsibilityy today in the greatest struggle this nation has ever had to face for survival, this soft youth is intelligently, courageously, generously giving its all upon the field of battle - and winning against the world's best- trained murderers. Youth has now answered its own critics everywhere. i And as the war ends, it is 1 i T my belief that you cur- rently here preparing for life will show the strength, intelligence, and courage imperative for the proper 'em' foundation of the world of tomorrow. So carry high the torch of faith in the good, the beautiful, the true - such a day will you cause to dawn and the sunset for those dead will be justified. .Q 'E F -f Qian:
