MR. RALPH I. SHOCKEY Principal of High School MR. MERLE B. HAFER Assistant Principal of High School Thinking and Growing It has been said that the world is made up of opposites-night and day, high and low, wet and dry, tall and short, fast and slow, love and hate, calm and storm, war and peace, boys and girls, etc. The list of opposites is almost without end. Whether it is fact or fiction that the world is made of oppo- sites, it is certainly true that at least two things be- long together in life-thinking and growing. As a young person you are growing up fast. Only if you think as you grow can you solve the problems that come with growth. Perhaps you say, Of course, I think. Everybody does. Jane Taylor in Effayr in Rhyme exclaims, How many never think who think they do! To think means to re- flect, to ponder seriously, to meditate quietly, to con- template at length. A harum-scarum idea that flashes into the mind is not a thought, it is merely the result of some outside influence. No one can do your thinking for you. Your teachers, your parents, and your friends can give you ideas and aids, but you alone can do the real work. Thoughts come from within yourself. You must take the ideas of others, add them to your own, and think them through so that you can produce an opinion that is as much a part of you as your own heart beat. Do this and you are truly thinking. RALPH I. SHOCKEY, Principal of High School.
