DR. I. LEONARD HALDERNKAN Pennsylvania State College, B.S University of Pennsylvania, MS Temple University, Ed.D. Superviring Prlndlnal DR. HALDERMAN'S MESSAGE S WE face the future, toward what kind of civilization shall we lend our efforts? How shall we work out in this world the historic purposes of democracy, namely, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as the right of all peoples? How can these principles be applied in this new Atomic Age? We tend to become what we will, what we sacrifice for, and what we work toward. Let us bend our efforts toward developing a civilization that knows how to live together. When enough men and women throughout the world learn to live well together, ways can and will be found to move away from the brink of disaster, created by our present scientific and atomic knowledge. Each of us should get clearly in mind, if a new world is to be built, that it must be built through vigorous, positive action in your little corner, my little corner, and all the little corners of the earth. This is a challenge worthy of your best, for to fail means disaster. Perhaps these lines will help you to understand the final message I wish to convey to you. MR. ARTHLQR T. REESE Vvestminster College, B.S. Temple University, Ed.M. Hzyh Srlmul P1'im'1'pal Is anyone happier because you passed their way? Is anyone glad because you lived today? Your high school days are almost over, preparation time is thru, Will others be benefited or will it be only you? As you go thru the years, will they be well or poorly spent? Will you be remembered for your kind- ness or for discontent? And as you close your final books to move on to God's stage, YVill people say, there was a man big enough for the Atomic Age?
