Ouw Chellenge We are now in a nerve-wracking race to match bomb for bomb, satellite for satel- lite. How much more wondertul if we could produce something that would stimu- late the fundamental qualities of human beings to rise above the man-created bar- riers and merge in global friendship. We should do something toward creating a world of fellowship. You ask, “What can I, as a little indi- vidual, do?” First, you must learn to get along with yourself. You may have to change your attitudes, and this requires real character. Second, you must develop a positive approach toward the challeng- ing problems that confront us. Too many have a negative attitude. If our world is to become smaller, people must become bigger in order to live suc- cessfully in it. Our contribution can be to help in the building of broader out- looks and wider horizons. L. O. Vermillion, Superintendent iat Focusing Beyoud Today, everyone seems to be looking out toward space. Some know what they are looking for, while others seem to be out of focus. It is difficult to get a clear picture of the world beyond unless you are looking through a well ground, pol- ished, and properly focused lens. Preci- sion is important from beginning to end. Seniors, you are our lenses into the fu- ture. Ambition is your precision. It has been said, “A good mind cannot be kept down.” Be sure your “ground” work is complete. Set your goals high and focus in, for our nation’s continual growth de- pends upon your mature look into the future. Richard W. Chaffee, Principal
