Unlike Nature’s cycle, fall is the start of a new school year at Highland. Our stu- dents return fresh from summer activi- ties with renewed vows to work harder and to get better grades. The band and football team have already returned for pre-season prac- lice. In the cool morn- ings while the leaves are changing from ereen to gold, we hear talk of new teachers, new students, and new classrooms. The af- ternoons are filled with the rythmic drum cadences and counting of the band as full rehearsals start. The thud of a foot meeting a foot- ball, quarterbacks calling signals, and coaches’ whistles, all signify that football practice, too, is well underway. Yes, fall has surely come to Highland.

Administration Doing the Job We Like Many a doctor sacrifices his health and strength in administering to others that they may have health again. The thrill that he gets from this service is a power of enjoyment to him that nothing else could give. And so he gives and sacrifices and is happy with his job. So it is with all other efforts. If this power of en- joyment is kept alive, it will carry one into a career of success and happiness. The idea of doing the job we like holds good in all walks of life. But in doing that job we must not over- look the fact that the job must be done honestly and with full consideration for all mankind. It is often said that a great deal of business is car- ried on without regard to the Golden Rule. Yet when an effort is made to apply it, there is a strange resur- gence of good will between the parties involved and a spurt of stability and prosperity which simply doesn’t exist among those who follow the dog-eat-dog method. L. O. Vermillion, Superintendent Age of Decision President John F. Kennedy in his inaugural address launched our country into a “New Frontier.” The suc- cess of this “New Frontier” depends so much upon every citizen assuming his own resvonsibilities, and knowing what he ought to do. “Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.” Following commencement, the decision is yours. For most of you your formal education is over. It is yours to decide whether you are going to be part of the prob- lem or its solution. Be prudent as to whom you emu- late. Stimulate your actions by clear thinking and not by emotion. Revitalize your spirit with positive think- ing. Have courage to stand up for your own convic- tions. A man does what he must—in spite of personal consequences—that is the basis of all human morality. Richard W. Chaffee, Principal 19
