VALEDICTORIAN GLORIA MEIER When we receive our diplomas at the grad- uation exercises in June, we'll certainly have a different feeling than our grandparents did in the same situation. It was quite an accomplish- ment for them to go through twelve years of formal schooling, but now it is more or less ex- pected that we at least go through high school. Years ago, graduation from the eighth grade was quite an event - it sent its graduates out to pave their roads in life. We can't hope to be prepared and fit for the long road ahead at that age. More and more is being required of us before we take that final step, independently, into the world's busy whirl. Not only does this onward chase of education exist right here in our high schools, but in other higher institutions of learning and every phase of life itself. A degree from college doesn't begin to carry the value it did fifty years ago. Of course, only through education can we hope to contribute in this world and enrich our own lives. I only hope that we don't, in the rush of things, get too involved and wrapped up in learning that we spend too much time striving for a higher educational goal and in so doing, sacrifice our happiness and lose our sense of evaluating the really important things in life. Education does not make a man good, it only makes him clever. -Rousseau. SAL UTA TORIA N KATHARINE sToTT James Monroe once said, A free, virtuous, and enlightened people must know well the great principles and causes on which their hap- piness depends. During our twelve years in school we have been given the tools to lead a useful life. Our education has not been presented to us on a silver platter for us to squander. The commun- ity has a right to expect us to pay for it in prac- ticing enlightened citizenship. Today America is one of the world's fore- most nations. She has many crucial decisions to make. Our country can only make the right choices by listening to the voice of the people - this is inherent in our democratic tradition. We must be aware of the tensions in the world today and their underlying causes. We must keep ourselves informed of the many social, political, and economic developments. In a republic, the decisions of the leaders rely upon the will of the people. After the errors in policy are made we blame Washington but the fault lies with us. We cannot expect to develop our capabilities in a free land unless we perform our duties as citizens. We must shoulder the respon- sibilities laid upon us. PAGE TWENTY-FIVE
