Dr. Johnson and the Administrative Staff at Haskell House Dr. Johnson and members of the office staff Never before in recorded history has there been a greater need for clear thinking and reasonable judgment. The future of our great country, the American way of life, and the future of all mankind depend on the attitudes, habits, character, and morals of the present-day high school students. Students should learn to examine the world around them and make a serious analysis of their actions. They should be interested in improving the environment in which they are now living and that in which they are going to live. When students are critical, they should be able to suggest a better way. Anyone can find fault, but to find an improved method requires clear thinking and mature judgment. They should be able to walk in another man's shoes before criticizing his walking. Indifference to laws and lack of respect for the home, church, community, and nation can lead to disaster. Other nations have had this experience. I sincerely hope that you plan for the next five, ten, fifteen, or twenty years, and in this planning you evaluate your contributions to the improvement of your world around you. If you contribute according to your interest and ability, I am sure the world will be a better place in which to live. If you and all the other high school students in the United States of America are willing to work toward improving our country, the future should be bright. If you shrug your shoulders and let someone else make the plans, our society may start to decay. Best wishes for success and happiness. James B. Johnson, Ed.D.
