O I I FRANCIS PAGE Principal FIRST ROW, leff To righT: Elmo Reidy, Harry Harbers, Christian Rasmussen. SECOND ROW: Mr. Page, Henry Gia- comini, Henry Olesen. WiTh The coming oT l95O, we have reached The halTway mark in a cenTury ThaT has seen much acTiviTy, one in which Technological developmenT has Tar ouT-sTripped ThaT OT any oTher period, if noT ThaT oT all Time: one in which Two desTrucTive wars have been ToughT and in which scarcely a counTry on The Tace oT The earTh has noT seen armed sTriTe, eiTher oT exTernal or inTernal origin, a cenTury in which This same Technological developmenT has surpassed The evoluTion in The minds oT men To conTrol This develop- menT. Because The TirsT halT has been so TurbulenT, There has been much reTlecTion and some predicTion. Looking backward, all can see The TuTiliTv oT sTriTe, The wasTe oT resources, and The wasTe oT liTe. Looking ahead, Two paThs appear-one To desTrucTion, The oTher To peace on earTh. ReTlecTion also indicaTes ThaT educaTion has paid dividends, ThaT The welfare oT educaTed naTions Tar surpasses ThaT oT The more illiTeraTe ones, and ThaT educaTed naTions have in general succeeded in mainTaining inTernal peace. IT seems TiTTing, ThereTore, Tor each oT us To dedicaTe himselT aT This Time To The Task oT TurThering educaTion and undvrsTanding ThroughouT The world so ThaT The second halT oT This cenTury will be as Tull 5 -gocklogical accomplishmenTs as The TirsT halT was oT Technological developmenT:. 'hose afjcr.mplishmenTs and peace will be reached only Through The dedicaTion oT our ir Tx dun' nTTnurTs and The supporT we give To such organiza- Tions as UNESCO, designed T14 dIrecT all TraTTic Toward The paTh oT peace. - FRANCIS PAGE.
