To the Graduates of 1956: It is entirely fitting that you, the graduating class of 1956, should build this annual around the advantages of the new high school building. You have, in a very real sense, lived through one of the greatest periods of change in our history. Most of you were born at a time when the clouds of oppression had put out many of the lights on the Continent and the storm clouds hovered over our own fair land threat- ening to cause our society to enter what could have been a Dark Age beyond com- parison in recorded history. While there have since been storm warnings, there are many signs that we are entering upon a new day of enlightment and prosperity. Like Grofe we ought properly to be thrilled at the signs of dawn of this new era of progress. You have seen the one-room school pass from the educational scene. Like those of us of an older age group you ought to hold fast the fond memories of that insti- tution, but all of us should remain open-minded and accept the advantages of the new. Not only does it appear that progress is a function of time fi. e. p I fftjj, but it now appears that the slope of the graph of that function is constantly increasing. In other words, it seems that not only should we continue to make progress, but that we can make it at an ever-increasing rate. Quite likely in your time several educational issues will be decided. Some of these are likely to be: the establishment of a kindergarten, education for those who have formally left school, extension upward of high school to include at least one and possibly two additional years, or the establishment of a regional junior college. You are to be congratulated upon your achieving what was at one time reserved for only the select few - high school graduation. It is to be hoped that your ex- periences in our public schools have convinced you of their worth, and, that as you take up your adult roles in your community, you will always vote in favor of prog- ress as you see it after mature deliberation. Surely it is not true that what was good enough for us is good enough for our children. We ought always to endeavor to give them a better world than the one we inherited. This can be done only by much hard work, but it is surely not im- possible for a nation that is accustomed to hard work. A Page 8 Robert W.
