EDITORIALS Youth, they say, is wasted on the young. Now that we, the Class of 1962, are standing on what is terr’ed the thres- hold of life, each of us has the opportunity to disprove that well-known adage. There is ,so much to discover about this world in which we were born. But, even more important, there is so much to improve upon and better. A cold war is being wa ’ed every day, yet fev; of us are aware of this great threat to our democracy. Only if we lose our democracy, will we realize how much we value it. But this is a bitter nrice to nay for a lesson Xiihich could be learned much more eas ' ly. Vie should learn as much as possible about our government and the bases of our economic system. Vie should be able to defend our .country if f e occasion should arise, and, most of all, we should strive to improve it. We were not cr ' ated to miO r ly vegetate. We vrere put upon this earth for a nurpose, and we s ' ould make the preser- vation of democracy one of our most im;portant nurposes. Let it not be said that our generat’on wasted the vitality and vigor of youth. For as President Kennedy said, ’’Ask not what your country can do for you, but x hat you can do for your country.

DEDICATION Many of the activities mentioned in this yearbook would not have been possible if it had not been for the untiring efforts of our homeroom te§cher and class adviser, Mrs. O ' Neill. Although she is a very busy person, having a family of two small youngsters, she still managed to find time to devote to our class. Her warmth and sympa- thetic understanding of our problems is more greatly appre- ciated than we can express. So it is with gratitude and respect that we humbly dedicate this yearbook to you, Mrs. O ' Neill.
