Principal Class of 1962: Education trends throughout the world hold wider and deeper significance for American Education today than any previous period of our country. Those of you graduating today face a world with two great anxieties—physical survival and ideological survival. Since many of our problems are international, our contacts and our understandings must be international. You are admonished to become intimately acquainted with foreign cultures. We can expect a greater challenge from science and technology. The sciences which have provided us with many medicinal and technological advantages have also given us technological unemployment. To combat this un- employment we must go out prepared to prevent its ex- tension. You young graduates are in an envious position of the challenge in helping to transmit a knowledge of history and appreciation of the finer things, and the psychological insights which will enable you to control not only machines but “yourselves.” NICHOLAS A. VENTURA Carnegie Institute of Technology Duquesne University ALEX TANNAS Mercer University Duquesne University A - ASSistant radiates of 10623 Congratulations: Your high school di. ploma is your first important document: ‘ . of . ? it signifies a record of your achieve. ment, a degree of success in your spe- cific abilities, a key to your future, and a potential desire for more knowledge As a high school graduate you should be most concerned with the last item rather than with the first three. You should be fired with the desire to de. velop your special talents and abilities leading to your life’s goal. By now your plans for your future should be definite, You should know whether you are going to’ college or are ready for the world of work. No matter what plans you make, in order to attain success you must be willing to render the best of your ser- vices in study or work. Let these ser- vices be dominated by honesty and de- pendability and mixed with the all important trait of “getting along with people.”

“Seek truth, solve problems, reason, and develop the power of thought.” Superintendent HARRY D. BERKEY Indiana State College University of Pittsburgh Graduates of 1962, You, stimulated by an unknown future, are the adventurers of a challenging age. Our faith in your inherent desire to produce the best that is in you prompts us to main- tain that through the atomic age and any subsequent age you will effect the survival of civilization. Your world of today knows no boundaries. Its total area is your backyard; its peoples, your neigh- bors. Within this “shrunken” space you must mingle with every class, color, and creed. This new communicableness necessitates your understanding of many lang- uages if you are to successfully live with your “new neighbors.” The frontiers of an unkn own universe lie ahead, challenging you to enter the greatest age the world has ever known. Within you must burn the deep conviction that the peoples of the world in a common neighborhood can live together in peace. Strengthen yourself with the undying hope and courage which youth alone can claim as you set forth on this new and ever- enticing experience. Into whatever activity it escorts you, may you be filled with a lasting joy that results in success.

Our administrators fake time to relax Our administrators are happy and surprised at the transformation of the gym into a beau- tiful oriental ballroom for the prom. Faculty members and guests beam happily for just “one more.” The excitement of this year-end event is the result of much work. They call it the twist.
