Editorial The late Calvin Coolidge once said, “No man is ever meanly born, for around his cradle lies tlie wondrous miracle of life. He may descend to the depths and live in infamy or rise to the heights, but he was born great.’’ W ' e are all afforded an equal opportunity for advancement. We have all been given a chance for an adequate education and it is hojred that we all have taken advantage of it. Every where we look, opportunities abound. There are man avenues of endeavor to which we can adapt our particular skills. But we must never become too complaisant in our thinking, or too regi- mented to one way of life. We must become an integral part of the society in w hich we live but never lose sight of our individuality. We must stand and hght for what we believe in. Our religious and moral convictions should be foremost in our minds. Life in the next decade holds many uncertainties for most of us. VT cannot see into the future. W ' e must have the courage to face reality. Our generation must meet the challenge of life and conquer it. The future of our country and the world depends cn this, for if we who comprise the future do not meet this challenge, then who will. We, the class of 1961, stand on the threshold of a new era. We must be resolved to take part and not remain passively in the back- ground and let life pass us by. The motto of our school might ever stand us in good stead: “Be Clean, Be Courteous, Be Square.”
