The 1956

FOREWORD Throughout all of time man has hungered—and will always hunger—for security and a better world. It has always seemed to me that both these desires are considered in a too general way when they are discussed. I do not think that it is possible to achieve security in the usual sense of the word, in a world that is ever changing and is ever uncertain, but 1 do think that it is possible to achieve an inner and spiritual security that will keep you ever steady and firm regardless of what may happen to you. You strengthen yourself by developing the qualities of courage, faith, and hope that are to be found in every human. But above all this you are steadied and have holding power because of the knowledge that there is One, above all others, Who has an unlimited understanding and love of His children. The ceaseless attempt to develop the strong, fine care that is You is your real security. And this better world that we talk about can be achieved by each one, first of all, doing his work, whatever it may be, to the best of his ability. Then if everyone tries to be a little kinder and more understanding and tolerant of those around him in school and in the community there will be an ever-widening circle of good. So often we are impatient to right the wrongs of the world, but it is only through individual improvement that a total effect can be achieved and changes can be made that help to better the lot of all men. It has been said that man achieves greatness on paper that he can never attain in actuality, but it is to his eternal glory that he is ever yearning for all that is noble in life. I picture man as standing erect with arms outstretched always reaching for the stars. Seniors, regardless of how your faith may be shaken at times, believe in the ultimate worth of humanity. I always feel a thrill of pride at student achievement, so 1 take particular pleasure in complimenting you and )our advisor on the accomplishment of this excellent book. My warmest and best wishes will always be with you as you follow the road of life. M iss Elsa Jane Carroll Senior Class Advisor 4
