,aff Lyle Burkholder, area administrator, and his secretary, Carol Fuller, work together to plan the policies of the Clark County School District. To the Class of '66 ince the beginning of his time on this earth, man has applied his intelligence to the unraveling of the riddles of his environment. The sum total of his achievement to this day we term as Knowledge. It has been learned that by applying this Knowledge, more rapid progress can be made in discovering the answers to the riddles yet unsolved. The process by which each human being gains an understanding of this Knowl- edge is termed Learning. People who achieve a sig- niticantly high degree of mastery in the understanding of certain aspects of this Knowledge try to help others to learn, these people we address as teachers. This teaching-learning process is a matter of yes- terday and today. Of all the riddles of his environ- ment, none is more fascinating, challenging and in- triguing than the riddle of Tomorrow-that STEP IN THE FUTURE. Little has been added to the Knowledge of tomor- row since the dawn of the first day. What little has been learned is frightening. Let us take a STEP IN THE FUTURE! What Knowledge we have of tomorrow seems to tell us that certain forces in our world are catapult- ing cataclysmically toward vigorous inexorable con- ditions that would be intolerable to the continued existence of man. Growth in our population is out- running our ability to produce food, two-thirds of all people do not have enough to eat! A thermo nuclear war can destroy our world! Our natural resources, cool, oil, minerals and even water will be totally de- pletedp air pollution poses a threat for human an- nihilation. Death on the highways and in the air dooms a maior portion of our population! Juvenile delinquen- cyp the deterioration of family, life, degeneration of law and order: racial hatreds uncontrolled, these are the riddles of A STEP IN THE FUTURE. But what of hope for tomorrow? Complete mastery of disease? Routine travel to the moon, planets and even other galaxies? Less time required for work and more time for learning and relaxation? More of the good things of life for every human being? Yes, A STEP IN THE FUTURE can be thrillingly beautiful. It is yours for your labor. Lyal W. Burkholder Director Area Zone Schools
