'Ei Fo rewo rd This has been the year of the Campaign. lt has been a year of trying to ask the right questions about the future of Casady School, What is the purpose of Casady? What are the needs of boys and girls in Oklahoma and in the nation? How can these needs best be met? What are these needs now? What will they be in five, ten, fifty years? We do not pretend to know the answers, but we are beginning to have a glimpse of how Casady School can render service in the ministry of education. First, we need to become a community in which the power of the Holy Spirit moves and directs our relationships, our learning, our play, and our work. We are beginning to under- stand that our knowledge, our energy, our enthusiasms, our potentialities will be unproductive unless they are redeemed in Christian fellowship and service. Secondly, we need to become a community in which the realities of the mid-20th century are confronted steadily and frankly by the adult leadership, so that we as teachers may in turn help our students to lead creative lives in the face of an increasingly changing and complex society. Strong bodies, minds, and spirits we shall need if we are to serve God well. The required standards of self- discipline, exacting scholarship, and general excellence are joyfully sustained by servants in Christ. And thirdly, we can become the center from which go forth trained and disciplined young men and women, strongly prepared for the higher education of the universities. If these are the right directions of the future Casady, then we must be prepared to serve. Our plans, therefore, include facilities for housing students and also a Center and Auditorium where the lay and ordained ministry may come together for worship, fellowship, and direction. Our Chapel will be provided with a Skinner Organ that our worship services and music may better glorify Gad. And finally, so that the foundations of education may be strong and creative, we plan to begin an Elementary School. With the new gymnasium and physical education facilities complete, our bricks and mortar should provide the tools for this venture in educational pioneering. All these are dreams, good dreams, they will be expressed in different ways by different members of our school family. None af them will be of worth until we understand our purpose as a school--to love God, to worship l-lim, to enjoy Him forever, and tp love our neighbor as ourselves. if E Z 791535 MQW?
