9 OtEOJOZ To be able to foretell the future with a never failing accuracy is an accomplishment which would boost one to instantaneous popularity. True, many fortune tellers, mystics and palm readers do claim to possess this power; but those who think clearly realize that no mortal has ever existed who was so marvelously psychic. Still, there is something exhilarating about attempting to see what lies ahead for a large group or for certain individuals. Perhaps this is true because it provides an opportunity for study of characters and ambitions, for careful scrutiny of changing modes of living, and for creative thinking about scientific experiments and inven- tions in years to come. But, above all, it provides an opportunity for free and unlimited prophecy. The class of 1941 sought to try its hand at looking into the dim days to come when it chose “Futurity ”as the theme for this yearbook. Looking first at our school, we see a majestic building rising from these grounds. It is a building modernistic in design, complete in euqipment, ample in size to care for the several hundred students who are here receiving their education. Inside the school are modern laboratories, well stocked library shelves, an impressive auditorium, and light, airy classrooms. This school is the center of the educational and social life of the city. Its courses are varied; its interest groups and activities embrace nearly every field of recreation and study. From this school come students who are blessed with a democratic educational system — students whose lives are successful because of the training they received here in their high school days. They are citizens of fine calibre We are looking at the Clearwater High School of tomorrow. We know not how many years may pass before this vision is realized. If the progress of the past twenty- five years is indicative, five, ten, or fifteen years should see the change completed. No one can prophesy this with entire accuracy only the future can tell only the future will tell
