W XXXL If '2 TO THE STUDENTS OE CHSf4 The theme for the Charlestonian serves to remind us of the changes which are taking place in the world. Tennyson in his immortal poem Locksley Hall says: Saw the heavens fill with commerce, argosics of magic sails, Pilots of the purple twilight, dropping down with costly bales, Heard the heavens fill with shouting, and there rained a ghastly dew From the nations' airy navies grappling in the central blue, At the time Tennyson penned these lines of poetry no one took his ideas of aviation seriously. People thought his reference to airy navies was only the extravagant flight of the U simagination. Yet, within a century, this poetic extravaganza has become true. The fact that change is taking place so rapidly emphasizes the importance of education in the affairs of life. Education is the process whereby youth is prepared for the eventualities of a rapidly changing world. Uneducated youth flounders in the cross currents of change, loses altitude, and lacks determination to take off again. Educated youth meets the vagaries of change, takes them with the stick pulled back, rides out the variable currents of chance, and sails away into the blue atmosphere of life, achieving success and making satisfactory social adjustment. ln aviation, ground work training is basic experience which the aviator must master before he is able to fly. He must know how to read the compass, sextant, and altimeter. He must know how to figure distance, miles per hour, and position. He must know how to write the log of his flight and communicate orally with the radio operators along the way. He must know the laws of gravitation and other scientific information. He must know the technique of the operation of a plane and, finally, he must be able to think logically about all matters incident to flying. Charleston High School endeavors to give the youth it is serving ground work training fundamental in preparation for complete living. This ground work training is the ability to read with speed and comprehension, the power to use newspapers, books, and libraries to gain information, proficiency in express.on, oral, written, and graphicg proficiency in the funda- mentals of calculation, understanding and appreciation of common scientific phenomena, ability to make intelligent use of scientific devices necessary in life's activities, and proficiency in the tools of thought. Thus, the youth in Charleston High School is trained to wing its way to wholesome and complete living in a rapidly changing world.
