 If we ever expect to be better, we must learn to be better. Some of our learning must be the rediscovery of things others have already known. Though the search for knowledge may sometimes be difficult, the retainment of it will always be profitable. When the classroom is left behind, we are prepared to seek for that yet unimagined. We learn to: laugh at our own misfortunes, understand others that have not lived our lives, function in a world that is at the same time beautiful and unbearable. We learn to stay young.

That which faded with antiquity had not the strength to survive the critical passage of time. The old is not torn down unless someone envisions something better. Records are made to be broken. If we ourselves don't break them, our presence should force others to. Each performance should out do the last. The laughter should be harder; the lines be fresher and the applause be more genuine than ever before. 6

Among the people of Edina-East may be unread authors, mute musicians, and superstars warming the bench. There might exist in ourselves potential that has not been discovered in the years here in Edina. A few shall see fame. Others shall never see the final outcome of their ambitions. That which endures: excites, challanges, and grows. 8
