FOREWORD In Brussels, Belgium, April of this year, the na- tions of the world convened to display their indi- vidual progress toward the betterment of mankind. Amidst the splendor of the exhibit is the meaning and means to world peace and unity, the recognition of man's need for more Hope, Knowledge, Power, and Beauty and Charity. This then, is the theme of the World's Fair. This is the World's Fair. What a lofty theme for a high school yearbook! one might truthfully exclaim. Yes, perhaps it is lofty, but we of the Cenzmlian sympathize with the philosophy that each human being, in his own way, has need for Hope, Knowledge, Power, and Beauty and Charity. Every individual must do his share toward cultivating these four qualities if peace and unity are to prevail. Believing this, we have chosen to make this theme, and all it stands for, our own. Our final aim is but to find our niche in the world's affairs, and in some small way contribute to its peaceful progress. On the following pages we will attempt to dis- close that our hopes, our knowledge, our physical power, and the beautiful and charitable feelings we may have, now contribute to our own small world and will eventually contribute to the large, all encom- passing one.

Belgium as host nation invites the world to witness these demon- strations and by so doing to take courage and fresh hope.
