Between the Mist and the Stars America since its beginning, has ever had a group of men who could not be content until they had turned the unknown into the known. On Thanksgiving Day, 1929, Richard E. Byrd planted an American flag on an imaginary spot called the South Pole. Here was the workfs last frontier, a lifeless continent waiting to be discovered. Here man could experiment and find out the secrets of this sil- ent kingdom. These restless, questing Americans whose ingenu- ity knows no bounds, are still at work today, and we find them now invading the realms of space. Yes, we are experiencing the third great revolu- tion of mankind preceded by Man the Hunter,” Man the Machine,” and now Man the Satellite.” It will take brains, money, imagination, and top think- ing if our boys and girls are equipped to live and to work in this new era of outer space, and supersonic missiles. H. K. Baker Supt. Fairborn Schools These fine individuals chosen by popular vote have in their hands the making of a new educational system which will look far into the future for satellite findings or space travel, that the student of today may be sufficiently prepared to take his place in world advance- ment. They Look Past The new and urgent needs of the space age can- not be minimized, for they arc the topic of the hour. The future belongs to those who look ahead of scientific progress into the wonder world of advanced electronics. We peer deep into the atom, bend the forces of nature to our will, one discovery follows another, but none equals in power, the one force that gives them all birth, Man’s infinite imagination which hovers Between the Mist and the Stars.” Known Horizons Mr. Palmer, Mr. Hagen (Pres.), Mr. Kauffman, Mrs. Crawford, Mr. Kneisly
