EDITORIALS The Spirit of the Lion Through the doors of Crosby, the Lion, king of all beasts, moves to take his stand among us. Most lions instinctively make their dens in hidden spots 5 however, the Crosby Lion finds his place in the hearts and spirit of all students attending this school. If we, the students of Crosby, live by the spirit and guidance of our mascot, we can profit greatly and enjoy a happy and suc- cessful life. The lion, lordly and majestic, proudly goes on his way, ignoring the small and petty annoyances of the jungle. Constantly on the alert for danger, he is always pre- pared to defend himself and his title a.nd fight, if necessary, to hold his undisputed place in the animal world. Although our world is much more civil- ized, we, as young people, must be prepared through academic studies and physical train- ing to meet the various crises that will un- doubtedly confront us both in school and later in life. Following in the path of our mascot, we too must be alert at all times- alert in making the most of each opportunity to strengthen ourselves, to help others who need us and to assume responsibility. We must recognize that true leadership, either in a fanciful animal kingdom or in everyday life, is both a responsibility and a privilege, given only to those who are fitted and quali- fied to serve the group and its best interests. Our mascot is known also for his courage and strength. When dangers beset his path, would the king of beasts run into the dense jungle and jeopardize his position and all that he holds dear? It is definite that a nega- tive answer would certainly be placed after this question. Thus, when our path becomes blurred with the perplexing problems that seem too difficult, we should not run and hide from a duty which might be beneficial to everyone. In this atomic age in which we are living, it is our responsibility to face bravely the problems and dangers which we meet and to conquer them. As the lion is proud of his name and repu- tation, so we should be proud of our school and its achievements. If the Crosby Lion continues to move among us with dignity and keep his true spirit alive in our hearts, we will become more competent and wiser teenagers, better fitted to assume the tasks and responsibilities of tomorrow. CAROLYN VICKERY Tomorrow's Challenge For Today's Youth As the day of graduation draws near, we, the Class of 1958, reflect with fond memories our high school days. There is a sadness in our hearts to be leaving our carefree days as well as those filled with responsibility, but still we are eager to take our place in the adult world. We face a strange worl'd, a difficult world, one filled with uncertainty and discontent. Are we prepared to meet the problems and situations that will confront us as adults? All our youth, we have been trained in a manner that should have enabled us to think, to gain a factual background, and to acquire the skills to compete with our peers. Al- though, in the past, our lives seemed ready- made, our future is not, our future is in our own hands. We must not forget that the winning of a game that may seem so important now is really of litt.le consequence when compared to the victories and losses we must face in the future. We must have the same enthusi- asm and the same determination in the try- ing situations we will encounter hereafter as we have shown in many a Crosby football game. However, the future we are building is not for us alone but for others as well. We live in a crucial era. Russia's gains, drama- tized by the Sputniks, must be combated if our free democracy is to survive. Science, medicine, and human welfare are of para- mount concern, to-o, in our world of today. The future of America and of the world rests on the shoulders of us, the future lead- ers of the nations. We must be prepared for this gigantic task before us. In some countries, children are like ma- chines coming from an assembly line. The government tells them what they are to dog they have no choice what their future will be. In America, however, we have the free- dom of choice. The next question is What will we do wit.h our future ? We must con- sider this matter seriously. Will we choose the easy way instead of -directing our efforts into fields where we are most needed? Are we reluctant to make the sacrifices necessary to benefit our country? So much is at stake in our decision that we cannot afford to choose unwisely. fContinued on Page 81,
