PRINCIPAL 'S MESSAGE These are historic days in the life of Elon College High School. Tonight, December 31, 1961, while world peoples are ushering in the New Year, the editors of our Annual will put to bed the final edition of ECHOES. The completion of thisannual marks the beginning of a long series of lasts for our beloved Elon College Highg the last back-to- school party, the last ball game, the last prom, the last Washington trip, the last assembly program, the last club meeting, the last test, the last exam, the last day, the last tender goodbyes. Every activity of our school must come to a close this school year. Next year Elon will join Altamahaw-Ossipee and Pleasant Grove in establishing the great consolidated school, Western High. Tonight, the annual staff will happily put aside the problems of the annual and will join the New Years revelers in throwing confetti, raising toasts, wearing odd hats and singing Auld Lang Syne. It is appropriate that we pay final respects to our dear old Alma Mater. We should do this with reverence. However, the passing of the old will inauguratea new era in the lives of the high school students of Elon. A new challenge is presented us and it is in- cumbent upon us to face the challenge and to accept its implications. The world crys for bright young well-educated men and women. The Seniors must strive to acquire all the training and the kind of training needed to achieve their goals. They must be brave five minutes longer than the adversary. They must rise one hour ahead of their neighbors. They must prefer to be right than king. Their faith must be such as to re- move mou.ntains. Their love mustgrow as nearly as possible to the stature of that described in 13th Corinthians. The underclassmen must determine now to use all the facilities of Western High School to enhance their education. The people of North Carolina and the people of Alamance County did not take on the burden for better education simply to have the students do less work. The future of our community, state and nation is in the hands of youth. To fail to accept the challenge is to fail humanity The students and parents of Elon will not fail. 'mi PRINCIPAL MI. A. lvl.
