,,f'v'- To the Members of the 212th Class Your years at Central High School will soon be a memory Keep that memory ahve and vital not only through class reunion but also by active interest and member ship in the Associated Alumni It will be a rewarding experience as the years go by As you are about to leave us there seems to be an undercurrent of fear in the world fear of an onrushing global catastrophe Radar electronics inter continental ballistic missiles lunar probes and atomic energy are spoken of in terms of dying and Such wonders of man s creative genius should not be feared The1r proper use will enable us to develop a future rich in good th1ngs almost beyond our powers of imagination Boundless opportunities stretch before us We must keep constantly in our mmds that it is not the future which shapes us but we who shape the future Our destiny ls 1n our own hands and in the gifts which God has given us not in the distant stars or some mysterious thing called fate As you leave Central to take a more active part in the shaping of the destiny of this beloved land of ours and of the world go with a Hrm resolve to make that destiny one full of the fine and good things for humanity May you all have great joy and happiness as you strive toward that goal Erwin FIELD . ,. . .
