I am privileged to have this opportunity to express words of inspiration to you as you continue your journey along life’s highway. The theme that you have chosen as your guide “Awareness - Taking the Time to Find Out”, is one that deserves deep consideration by everyone and at all times. We hope that you will not enclose it within the pages of this book, but will strive to make it a living reality. More than ever before the world is in search for enlighten- ed, responsible young men and women with quality leadership. Leadership that involves integrity, moral soundness, honesty of purpose and courage of conviction enrooted in knowledge, understanding and dedication to the welfare of others. The urgency of the hour calls for an awakening of everyone to the eternal miracle of life with its limitless possibilities. Well do we know that time and tide wait for no man, so keep pressing hopefully until you have reached the highest acces- sible goal. All the world is a stage and we are merely players who will play many roles in this drama of life, so act well your part. Our role should be one of star performance and pursuit of the task before us. We must strive to stem the tide and mend the broken dykes. What seems hopeless should loom before us as just another challenge to overcome. Best wishes to the outgoing seniors, and to the “Tiger StafF’, supporters, and well-wishers, we are most grateful for your excellent work and above all your cooperation in the production of this edition of the “Tiger”. Mr. Scott Flounders Asst. Principal and 7 U.S. History Teacher Mr. A. W. Bacote, Asst. Principal “The unexamined life is not worth living.” More than twenty-three hundred years ago Socrates gave these words to his students and through one of them to posterity. And since that long ago time and before then, too, the wise man has been he who sought to understand himself, for only in so doing could he begin to understand any of the great questions of the universe. Man has a great potential for rational thought, but irrational thought and actions are overwhelmingly produced because each man knows himself so poorly, if at all. To act, to speak, to think seem all-compelling when the truly compelling must be why do I act, speak, think as I do. Why am I as I am, and how am 1? Is any of me truly free or do I merely respond to life in Pavlovian fashion, predictably and limitedly? To know oneself surely would require an eon or two, but to begin the quest would just as surely be the single, most profitable adventure one could undertake. And what would it profit one? At least this - “to thine ownself be true, and it follows as night follows the day thou canst not then be false to any man ” Scott Flounders DLR
