A triumphant young sailor withdraws thoughtfully from his lengthy torture at the hands of the enemy. He directs his thoughts not only toward his blueprints for a new life, but also toward his foster parents, the faculty of Annapolis High. He realizes that the products of their efforts are some of life's most important possessions. During the brave sailor's seemingly hope- less ordeal, his well-trained mind successfully evaded the persuasiveness of his captors. He derived strength from the many inspirational writings which his English teachers had pre- sented, while he held his body together with the physical stamina which was due in part to the efforts of his athletic instructors. He was even helped by the remembrance of the faculty's sense of humor in difficult situations. During his captivity the resourceful individual used effectively the contributions of all his teachers, therefore, he survived. Now the sailor is free again. His ambition in life is to be a teacher of as much value as those who taught his Class of 1960. Possess- ing their characteristic drive, patience, and understanding, doubtlessly he will achieve his goal.
