president ' s message Longfellow wrote once in his poem Psalm of Life : Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime And, departing, leave behind us Footsteps in the sands of time; Let us then be up and doing. With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait. What better way is there than this to epitomize the youth of today, or is it? Great men didn ' t become great through apathy or disenchantment. They didn ' t become great through human weaknesses in our society or in their characters. No, great men became great through involvement and prevision. They became great by learning from the weaknesses of others and adopting the strengths into themselves. Gibbon said that success in life depends much upon improving those decisive involvements which are irrevocably lost before they are perceived by a common eye . I plead that we, the young, look to the future, refer to the past and live in the present. We have been given much but we also have much to give. But I have promises to keep , said Robert Frost, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.

principal ' s foreword It is trite to point out that we are in the midst of an information explosion. The field of knowledge is expanding and changing all around us at such a rapid pace that is has become impossible for us to keep abreast. It has become a futile exercise to appreciate and digest fully the cumulative and ever increasing sum of factual material in every or any subject discipline. It therefore becomes our responsibility to learn through inquiry, investigation, and evaluation, as well as to establish fundamental concepts and processes. Otherwise we will be drawn into a sea of information that will engulf us. As one educator put the matter, It is no longer possible to learn all about a subject but only what a subject is all about. In essence, it is incumbent on all of us to know how to think. The process of education and the acquisition of knowledge are based on the premise that we are learning to learn. R.G. Wilson, B.A. Principal vice principals C.E. Brown, B.A. H.E. Vincent, B.A.
