Jlie Editor peaL Man’s age-long effort has been to be free. Since the beginning of time, he has rebelled against the forces of tyranny that would enslave his mind or body. During the mid 1800’s there occurred, the world over, a revolution of great social significance. Imprisonment for debt and flogging as a punishment were abolished. Great movements were initiated for world peace, women's rights, abolition of slaves. One of the most important movements of widespread significance during this pe- riod was toward a system of free education. This ideal was strenuously opposed every- where by the wealthy, primarily because of the need for increased taxes, but also be- cause it was felt that the workingman need not be well-educated. In 1830 a working- man’s convention resolved that there can be no real liberty without a wide diffusion of real intelligence — that until means of equal instruction shall be equally secured to all, liberty is but a meaningless word, and equality an empty shadow.” We of this generation are indeed thankful for the wonderful progress that has been made toward equal educational opportunities in our community. We are proud of our scholarly instructors and our fine buildings. I believe that if every community in the world were so blessed, then, surely peace and happiness would come to this troubled world. We are appreciative of the academic freedom, our fine teachers, and of the freedom of thought and speech that we now enjoy. We can keep these freedoms only as long as we are self-reliant and vigilant through the crises of our times. The faith of the past so- cial crusades must be ours, and only if we have that faith can we guide the world to the fulfillment of liberty and equality — and thus to the final glorious achievement of peace and happiness . John Gidcombe ibetli ication We, the authors of Flight '54, dedicate this, our Yearbook of Memories, to the spirit of educational progress, as well as to the civic minded citizens of this fair city, who have had the vision to plan for our future needs in education. We trust that, with the divine help of Almighty God, the chains of ignorance and lethargy shall forever be broken, and that we shall walk into the dim, uncertain future with enlightened minds and uplifted hearts in the service of mankind.

V behoof end of the building with a seating capacity of 4.000 persons. At one end will be a stage completely equipped with theatrical lighting and other facilities, as a setting for plays and concerts. The Stadium will provide seating for 2,500 persons on the Vest side of the Football field. Thus the building program was a very neces- sary part in the development of a fast growing city which has developed from a tiny village of 1.000 persons in 1913 to a thriving metropolis today. This increased population made neces- sary the huge building program which is now in progress.
