FOREWORD In this, the year 1952, we have chosen for the theme of our yearbook three words, Knowledge Is Power. Perhaps the apparent simplicity of the phrase is conducive to a passing over of the thought without its due and proper respect being paid. However, the endeavor of man through the ages to elevate himself is basic in its thought. Knowledge in itself is not of extreme importance, but rather it is in its intelligent and capable application and administration that its benefits can be realized. The realization may be called power. Applying the in- tangibles called knowledge to a particular work has long been the bridge between success and mediocrity, ful- fillment and frustration and the key to a useful, important role in life. There is no doubt that there has been a frightful de- cline in the desire of the individual to do a job for its resultant satisfaction and its ultimate contribution to the welfare of the nation, community and family. This atti- tude may stem from the era that is upon us, an era that has created a world wide rot of individual responsibility and an ever increasing dependence on a government to provide some kind of security. Thus the power gained through knowledge may be the power to fight off this deterioration of the values that our forefathers regarded as sacred in the American way of life. Today, education stands as the lone citadel for the preservation of the free enterprise system under whose benefits we have grown mighty. That this is the mightiest and wealthiest nation ever known can not be argued, but that we are capable of keeping that heritage and building upon these foundations even greater contributions than our predecessors is a task that the world is watching with dubious eyes. We accept this challenge not because of any glory involved, but rather because of absolute, dire necessity. Knowledge being power lends to us the proficiency of Finding better ways of surmounting technical problems, lends to us the logic of preventing the blinding of our faults and shortcomings, and exists as the medium through which we must retain our strength, prosperity, and freedom.
