FOREVVURD Throughout the centuries, the one vital factor that has made it possible for mankind to achieve the present level of civilization has been the God-given gift of curiosity. Curiosity is the foundation upon which edu- cation and advancement are based. This thirst for knowledge has become manifest in the many ingenious discoveries and in- ventions that characterize our modern world. If it were not for this constant desire to increase knowledge, civilization would stag- nate and die. But man has kept the flame of curiosity burning by never-ending research and discovery. From the invention of the wheel to intricate present day technology, the quest for knowledge has never ceased. And now, in the twentieth century, man has embarked on the greatest adventure of all time. He has raised his eyes to the stars, and has accepted their age-old challenge. He has finally set foot on the threshold of space. This first footstep is like the first cry of a baby, and it will some day develop into a resounding voice that will echo through the entire universe. We, the class of 1963, are a part of this first step. Upon our shoulders rests the task of upholding the standards that have made possible man's first ventures into space. It is up to us to keep the burning flame of curi- osity alive. It is our prayer that God may give man the ability, courage, and perseverance to succeed in the momentous task.
