Haubstadt High School - Elite Yearbook (Haubstadt, IN)

When the seniors of fifty years ago graduated, they stood at crossroads much the same as we as seniors do today. Experience, the type we'll receive after graduation, will tell us that today's world is a busier and more complex affair than was the world of our fifty-year ago counterparts. We'll find that crossroads is no longer an accurate description of the choices facing us. The crossroads have become bustling interchanges in intricate and obscure patterns, locations, and variations--Time Square, Hollywood and Vine, Grand Central Station, Gibson and Main. Standing on the comer of the interchange of life is a challenging test of character. Multitudes of seniors will go through the same ordeal—the ordeal of decision. First of all, some of the seniors may stop to window shop and not even make it to the inter- section. A few may get trampled in the pact of pedestrians when the light changes. One or two may tarry and get run over by the oncoming rush of traffic. Others may go in the wrong direction and get lost in the big city. But the fact still remains that most will make it through the intersection—the intersection that connects knowledge with wisdom--and, as a result, they will become the active leaders of tomorrow.
