Education is the magic casement opening for you on new vistas, a panoramic view of your world. Your. use of this window determines your insights, your sympathies, your knowledge of mankind, and your degree of involvement in it. When life stirs, education begins—to end only when life ends. Therefore, make the best use of your time, remembering your com- mitment to life, your basic truth to yourself, the promises you have to keep, and the miles to go before you sleep! Philip A. Sweeney Principal
