the Qhministratinn If this be true, then, there must be some cause. The effect of recent wars, the mount- ing complexity of government, the increas- ing amount of aimless leisure, the changing pattern of family life, and the inability of the church to cope with changing conditions have been offered as reasons. Whatever the cause, certain moral decisions of unpreced- ented variety must be made by the Ameri- can people. In order that the right decisions be made, the schools of America must shoul- der their share of responsibility. Our schools must help clarify the true values of Ameri- can life and identify the moral values which help our nation become strong. Our teach- ers must discover new methods of teaching these values effectively. It is my hope that through your experien- ces in Eureka High School, yo-u have been able to receive some moral concepts which will enable you to keep steadfast in the path which leads to a happy, honorable and use- ful life.

J. VARNUM JONES Principal of Eureka High School Q if-Blessage from At this stage of our country's history, cit- izens, both young and old, should take stock of the moral fabric of the nation. So, we may determine if the basic moral principles, upon which our great nation was founded, are being neglected or being replaced by principles less noble than those of our early leaders. The corruption recently revealed in gov- ernment offices, high and low, has made it evident that the moral values of personal integrity, honesty, and self-discipline are seemingly being perverted. This shameless proffering and acceptance of bribes on the part of those from Whom we expect the most honest dealings is evidence of the des- truction of certain moral values. The much- publicized bribing of college athletes in order to manipulate the scores in athletic contests is but one more example of the prevalence of flagrant dishonesty. Investigation of various persons who have given bribes for favors and privileges re- ceived from elected officials has left a stig- ma of which not only America but the entire world is aware.

Iasses The directors and producers of the 1952 Eure- kana are proud to present to you Hi-School Daze, a delightful play featuring all the students of Eureka High School. The first act of school daze is presented by the Understudies, a cast of hard-working Fresh- men who have already established themselves as future stars of Eureka High School. The Sophomore, too proved to be an excellent group of Supporting Players in the second act of our dramatic interpretation of school life. The third' and final act is opened by the Juniors whose experience and initiative have fit- ted the members of the class for their roles as Co-stars in the drama of the school year at E. H. S. The finale of Act III is highlighted by the Stars of 1952, a splendid cast of Seniors. Along with the pictures of our cast, we have included some dialogue from the play as heard in rehearsal in any E. H. S. classroom.
