SUPERINTENDENT’S MESSAGE My Young Friends: These thoughts are directed to you in 1974. You will under- stand them better at that time. Life is m a d e up of the PAST, the PRESENT, and the FU- TURE. The PAST contains our knowledge. We learn valuable les- sons from hard experience and from the record of the experiences of others. From these lessons we are able to make progress to- ward the realization of man’s age-old dream. This dream has been for the liberation of mankind from superstition, prejudice and conceit. Let us not disregard the knowledge of the PAST. The PRESENT contains our opportunity. It comes only once. It must be used while here. This involves making up one's mind. The privilege of making a decision is truly a gift of God. It is better to make a wrong decision than never to make a decision. Pity the one who seems never able to make up his mind. The FUTURE contains our hope. We can always expect bet- ter for the future than we have in the present or have had in the past. Such an attitude produces cheer, radiates sunshine and dissipates gloom. Hope is the Beacon Light which pierces the fog of despair and encourages one to hold on. Let us never re- linquish our Hope.
