A Challenge It is an accepted fact that you go to a school to accumulate knowledge. It is now quite obvious that learning the three “R’s” is not sufficient for us to stay abreast of our modem society. You young people in the high school are preparing to meet the challenge of this modern society. It is expedient for you to apply yourselves to the studies that are offered you. Never say, “Now I know it all.” Remember, God would have you able to do your task intelligently. Learn to apply in a practical way that which you learned in the course of your studies. Solomon said, “Happy is the man that getteth understanding — All the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.” Young people, the Lord can use your education. He WILL use it if you will dedicate it to His cause. Edmar Fast

Inspector’s Message I am honored to be asked to write a message for the 1966 Yearbook. It affords me an opportunity to extend to you and your Staff sincere good wishes for your spirit in undertaking this responsible publication. I would like to quote a part of General MacArthur’s Address On Youth. “Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old by deserting their ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up interest wrinkles the soul. Worry, doubt, self-distrust, fear and despair—these are the long, long years that bow the head and turn the growing spirit back to dust. Whatever your years, there is in every being’s heart the love of wonder, the undaunted challenge of events, the unfailing child-like appetite for what is next, and the joy and the game of life. You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope, as old as your despair. In the central place of every heart there is a recording chamber; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer and courage, so long are you young.” At this time of year, I would like to take this opportunity to extend to you, the Teaching Staff, and the Student Body sincerest good wishes for the future.
