I To The Class of l948 You are told that you are living in an Age of Progress In many respects that is true. Scientific and mechanical inventions, improvements and refine- ments have made modern America a land of opportunty and achievement. Mass production has given to the lowliest shop girl the fabrics, nylons, silks, perfumes and cosmetics which were once the prerogatives of onljy the rich. Advancement in the field of medicine has prolonged human life, science has smashed the atom and -developed the atomic bomb, but it still remains to de- velop this great energy for the accomplishments of peace, while in the air man has exceeded the speed of sound and London, Cairo, Buenos Aires and the Orient are but moments away. Speer? has shrunk the size of our World and the problems of one are now the problems of all. In the fieltd of Education enormous strides have been made. It was only a little over a century ago that the Indian war whoops echoed through the valley of Canaseraga and In-dian maize was the food, while arrow heads and tomahawks were the implements of the dayq Education was crude and brief dealing onlly with their primitive life. It is a far cry indeed, from those 'days to the present. Take our modern schools. Consider their broad and varied curricula, auditoriums, gymnas- iums, theatrically-equipped stages, sound an-d radio systems, motion picture and visual education equipment, bus transportation systems, library, art, shop, science and all' the paraphernalia of a modern central school. The span, the amount and the caliber of education has grown beyond even the wildest dreams of our early fathers. This is true because we live in a Democracy, an enlightened Democracy, and Education is the only basis for any true program of progress and enlightenment. lContinued on Page Seventy-Sixj 222222 1 The Chieftain, l 948 4
