Las Animas High School - Trojan Yearbook (Las Animas, CO)

Text from Pages 1 - 136 of the 1970 volume:

THE 1970 TROJAN LAS ANIMAS HIGH SCHOOL LAS ANIMAS, COLORADO IS DEDICATED To the many people who made this annual possible through their finan- cial contributions and cooperation with the annual staff, and especially to Miss Barbara Moody whose sacrifice and responsibility made this annual possible. Looking back at the 1969-70 school year, we remember the joy, school spirit, excitement and labor that we shared. It is the hope of the '70 TROJAN staff that we have been able to capture some of these fond mem- ories in the annual. In the years to come, should you wish to reflect your high school days, turn back to your '70 TROJAN and gaze upon this memorable year. If we can bring these memories back to you, our goal has been attained. THE ANNUAL STAFF I WHAT IS EDUCATION? I am Education. 1 am the torch that enlightens the world, fires the imagination of man and feeds the flames of genius. I give wings to dreams and might to brawn and brain. From out of the silent shadows of the past I come, wearing the scars of struggle and the stripes of soil, but hearing in triumph the wisdom of all ages. Man, because of me, holds dominion over earth, air, and sea; it is for him I leash the lightning, plumb the deep and shackle the waves of ether. 1 am the parent of progress, the creator of culture and the molder of destiny. Philosophy, science and art are my handiworks. I banish ignorance, discourage vice, disarm anarchy. Thus have I become freedom's citadel, the arm of democracy, the hope of youth, the price of adoles- cence, the joy of age. Fortunate the nations and happy the homes that welcome me. The school is my workshop; here I stir ambitions, stimulate ideals, forge the keys that open the door to opportunity, the master of human destiny. I am the source of inspiration, and aid of aspiration, for I am Irresistible Power, I AM EDUCATION.
