rdftsvVdJlD f|yearbook should reflect not only the visible beauty of the school • it. Should, to a larger degree, reflect the spirit thejoyS, the pleasures- and Sometimes even the heartaches the dreams , the aspirations, the moods reflected in the daily activities and functions of the insti- tution. l»ooK ing bacX over your yearbook recalls all of these things, Kind- ling a wish to be able to relive it all over again. This is the revelation of that inner yearning , that eternal search for the fountain of youth, the desire to drink once again of the youthful pleasures past but never forgotten■ 0i(t we eventually admit the impassibility of this a3 we travel further along the road of life we either de- sign for ourselves or asK the Eternal Spirit to help forge for us. JVSetr or es of the past along wifht.be realism of fhe present, the Spiritual as well qs the material realities, all these contribute to the Very heart and soul of life. If days of youth possess nothmgof spiritual value , iVe are indeed poverty-stricken. Vf those of us who Cq|| themselves educators do not impart riches of spiritual value -to their Students also, -then the educative institution «s indeed poverty- Stric n much more so. We of Chilocco Indian School possibly stand on the threshold ofa brighter -future in view of the building and curricular improvement programs under study currently. Scit should the staff erf this School -fail to make a place in those new programs for the dmec— tion and leading of Him who is the Beginning and the End off all things, then we will Continue to fail to provide that which makes for the richer tomorrows of the li» es our students face at graduation We who work on the I -175 CHILOCCOAN fervently hope tlnat in the future when yoa look over your yearbook you will be able bo do so with favorable recollections of yoUr Alma h'later.
