IEDTITORIIAILS FELLOWSHIP In a short time, we, the class of I959, like many classes before us and many more to come, will have to pursue a new life and enter into a difficult and more demanding world. We are about to assume heavier re- sponsibilities than ever before. Are we pre- pared? Crosby High School has given us our preparation, and fellowship has been an important part of this preparation. This preparation is like a pyramid, with fellowship as one of the many building stones that will decide the outcome of our future whether it is formed unstably or will continue upward toward success. Where is this essential element, fellowship, found? Everywhere! But you and you alone can find it for yourself. You cannot buy it, nor can you sell it. Fellowship in our school lives in the assort- ed clubs and organizations. This is one of the reasons the underclassmen are urged to join these organizations. Fellowship is especially prevalent in the physical sports such as: foot- ball, basketball, and baseball. For without it, a team is no longer a team, and a game is no longer a game. If any of the football players were asked if it were really worth the rough treatment they undergo, they would probably say indirectly that it is not risk that they recognize, it is the fun, sports- manship, and fellowship that they derive from each game. Fellowship is found not only in extra- curricular activities but in academic studies as well. In literature some of us have been able to form an indescribable bond with an author through his writings or in history class to relive great moments and thrilling ex- periences with a noble or great person through his triumphs. Through our studies we have been able to learn more about our- selves and other people. Our studies have given each of us something in common and something to share. This is the beginning of fellowship! Again I ask, are we prepared to take our place in the world? If achievement has been in only one of these two forms of fellowship, the base stone of the pyramid is weak! With patience and work, we will be able to sta- bilize our pyramid later in life. OI course, the ideal stone is formed of both forms of fel- lowship. Thus it is molded from a rich and strong material. Though fellowship is but one stone in the tremendous pyramid to success, it is as im- portant as the rest for each stone depends upon another. Judy Clements '59 THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF YOUTH We, the youth of today, are faced with a great many responsibilities. We are indebted to our families, our communities, and God. Each of these debts must ,be paid in full. This takes a lifetime, but as teenagers we can make a good start. We can start by paying off our debts to our families. This is not difficult, but it is very important. For the past eighteen or nineteen years we have been protected from the cruelties of the world by our parents. They have asked for nothing but obedience and understanding. Most of us have failed along these lines at one time or another, but now we realize how wrong we were, and if we don't we will some day. They have loved us even when we were not beyond reproach. They haven't always understood us, but that wasn't their fault. Even when, in the process of growing up, we rejected them and their advice, they have been patient and con- tinued to love us. We can show our apprecia- tion by doing the best we can to uphold their teachings, by doing the best we are capable of scholastically, and by keeping in mind for the rest of our lives the things we were taught by them. In this way we will be showing love, respect, and appreciation to our parents. Our responsibility to the community is great. The debt is not so large, but it is difficult to pay. As teenagers we are looked up to by those younger than we and watched anxiously by those older. We can set an ex- ample, either good or bad, for the younger ones. We can show the older ones that their conception of the teenage group is right or wrong. I'low easy it would be to assume an I don't care attitude about the matter. We can't do that, though. ln our hands we have the power to show the younger ones the right way to go. We have an oppor- tunity to show our elders that we are capable of assuming our positions in the world as con- scientious, reliable citizens. We must do our very best, or the preceding generation won't trust us enough to leave the world in our hands. The young people will become con- fused if our standards are not upheld. This is a great responsibility, and it certainly is a large order to HII, but we can do it if we really try. Our responsibility to God is clearly out- lined. The best way to meet it is to live by His word, to retain our faith, and really to appreciate the most precious gift we were ever given - life. E. Fletcher '59
