BAS Principal m ■ mm. m WiMi, iHH S VI r i 1 . . ■ 1962 PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE Each generation of youth is beset by a sequence of problems which it attempts to solve in its own unique ways; eventually passing on to the succeeding genera¬ tion, however, the unsolved riddles, either current or developing. This has been the pattern of life and the challenge for youth since the beginning of time and there is certainly no indication of change appearing on the horizon. In every period, there are the pessimists that say we have been left with an impossible heritage — this is the end.” The optimists say these are times that try men’s souls — but we will succeed.” In which group do you, the world’s hope for the future, stand? During the past several years and the past four in particular, we your elders, have tried to solve our own problems and to prepare you to solve those that deve from our solutions. We have done our best and, as look on you, our product, we are proud, hopeful, t gratified. We believe that you have been trained w that you are equipped mentally, emotionally and mon for the tasks at hand, and that you will in the end t the last battle and come to the full realization that lif worth the striving and that the Creator not only endov you and all others with certain inalienable rights but t there is a reason for your presence on earth and a in life’s fulfillment. May the years ahead for all of you be reward and productive, may you know the humble joy of p gress along the path of your ideals, and may our pray for you not go unanswered. 8
