Yl jedSa e prom our f rincipa To the Students of Columbia High School: The Mirror Staff is to be commended, it seems to me, not only for providing us with this fine record of what has happened in our school life, but especially for directing our attention to the future by dedicating this volume to the theme, Building the World of Tomorrow. In school, as everywhere else in life, we become so involved in the details of living now that we frequently fail not only to see the larger relationships of things but often to anticipate the future. School is sup- posed to help us solve the problems of living today and tomorrow. What are these prob- lems? One cannot guess all of them nor describe any of them in detail, but some of the most important ones seem to me to be as follows: 1. Group relationships. We are all mem- bers of a family, a community, a state, a nation, and certain special groups. We should learn how to make worthwhile contributions to the welfare of each and all of these groups and how to get along with the other members of these groups. In a democracy such as ours this means a peculiarly delicate appreciation of one's individual rights and his responsibilities and obligations to the group. 2. Maintenance of health. It seems obvious that good health—mental, emotional, and physical—is one of the great challenges in living and basic to our success in all endeavors. 3. Economic Security. Each of us has the problem of self-support with which to reckon, and we should expect to con- tribute to the economic welfare of the group. Our vocation should not only provide sustenance for ourselves and our dependents but should also afford us an opportunity to serve others. 4. Right and wrong. Each of us needs to appreciate right and wrong. We need to develop a code of ethics to guide our every act. 5. Leisure time. Living is a combination of work and play. Healthful recreation is a real problem in a life, a good part of which is filled with leisure time. 6. Satisfaction and growth. The thrill of living is directly dependent on one's ca- pacity to get worthwhile satisfaction out of life and his ability to keep on growing. Very briefly and inadequately expressed, these seem to me to be some of the major problems each of us must face. To a large extent we must be self-directive in taking advantage of the opportunities provided in school and in life to meet these challenges satisfactorily. May you solve these problems success- fully for yourselves and thereby become Builders of the World of Tomorrow! Cordially yours, CURTIS H. THRELKELD. —1939 6 1939
