Those graduates knew nothing of Sputnik or missiles. It took several days to travel a distance by horseback or wagon. lt now takes only a few hours to travel the same distance in an automo- bile, or a few minutes to travel the same distance in an airplane.

Living conditions of one hundred years ago cannot be com- pared with those today. Television, telephone, and radio were un- known. The scientific age has brought with it many good things for mankind and also intensified problems of defense and survival. Our forefathers had to learn to work with their hands to survive, but as we look ahead we see greater and greater demands for skilled workers and for knowledge of space, rockets, and of things of which the pioneers never had heard. Our school curriculum necessarily is undergoing changes to keep up with these times. Already math and science classes have become more popular among the lstudents.
