GSTHE old order changeth, yielding place to newf' This proverb seems especially fitting today when, looking back, we see a changed world, a world where communication was slow, where the things which we consider as just everyday necessities were not even dreamed of. In this age of speed and labor-saving devices we all too seldom realize the struggles and heart- breaks the inventors of yesteryear went through to try and make the world a better place in which to live. The lives of these men tell a story-a story of people who are never satisfied with minor successes, but who are continually seeking new goals in the mysteries of future. What that dis- tant horizon brings forth depends on the skill, initiative, and endeavor of those who challenge it. We, as graduates of Freeport High School, will soon be delving busily into the affairs of the world with the intention of making a place for ourselves among our fellow men. What a wonderful suc- cess life would be if we could, in the years to come, look back secure in the knowledge that we had done our part in aiding the real progress of a nation. The World of Tomorrow would then be a world built of leadership, preparedness, initia- tive, and the desire to keep marching toward greater and fuller destinies. FORE GRD 19'

DMI l TR TIG THE instructors and administrators in our schools have in their hands the power to shape indirectly the world of tomorrow. To them is delegated the task of ' guiding and developing, mentally and spiritually, tomorrow,s artists, writers, composers, statesmen, doctors, scientists, and teachers. Although every boy and girl is endowed with his or her own character, personality, and degree of intelligence, without the careful superintendence by more experienced minds, these attributes would serve for naught. The schools of today offer each individual the opportunity to discover the type of work for which he is best Htted and which is most congenial to him by main- taining art and music classes for the development of future culture, social studies classes for the training of potential statesmen and leaders of our country, and science classes for the moulding of doctors and scientists. However, it is the personal influence and instruction of the faculty and administrators which breathes life into an otherwise merely theoretical plan for education, thus insuring the constant and upward expansion ofthe uni- verse of the future.
