EDITORIAL From the very beginning of its existence the motive of the English High School has been to prepare men for successful living. Never in its one hundred and thirty-six year history has the school deviated from that course. During years of turmoil and war T he English High School has not failed to furnish military leaders who have been able to rise to the fore, meeting dangers and making decisions courageously. Many of our graduates have made the supreme sacrifice for their country. We can be certain that these men have upheld the great tradition of this school. In better times, in times of peace, graduates of this school have contributed greatly to the growth of this country ' while holding responsible positions. Here they were well trained to fulfill this trust. Soon the men of the Class of 1957 will be called upon to take their place in the world. America cries for leaders and workers to keep us free and financially healthy. Some of us will answer this call by furthering our formal education while others will directly step into the business world. There will also be those who will enter the armed services. By whichever method we choose, we shall all be able to respond efficiently. However, even as we discuss the future, our thoughts are drawn to the disturbing events which have occurred throughout the world this past year. The bloodshed in Hungary’, the crisis in Egypt and the Communist expansion in other parts of the world have been sources of concern for all of us. The Hungarian revolt, in particular, emphasizes the restless conditions of world affairs. In this land of liberty we can see how highly these oppressed people value freedom. Even when confronted with death, these people have resisted their dictators. While it can be said that our country ' is prosperous and that opportunities today are greater than ever before, on the other hand, we will enter a world of unrest and uneasiness. We in our own country can not look to the future with certainty unless a just peace has been restored in these foreign lands. Although none of us can be sure of what lies ahead, we are confident that with the training and sense of honor given us at The English High School, we may be equal to whatever the future may bring.
