NOTE FROM OUR PRINCIPAL Mr. April This has been a year of moral evaluation for our nation. At every level of national life we have witnessed the disclosure of questionable practices in the entertainment field, in union activities, and in government. Education, with the exposure of “diploma mills”, has not been exempt from the taint of moral deterioration. At such a time it is well for us as individuals to take stock of our moral inventory. Perhaps the major objective of our high school training is to develop the ability to think clearly, to read and listen with discrimin- ation. There is no question about our ability to tell right from wrong. The great test of life is our determination to stay on the side of right and our tenacity to actively support moral issues. Turning away from responsibility, ignoring the presence of a prob- lem, or “leaving it to George” are only temporary solutions. The belief that we are not affected is but a pretense, for evil of any kind leaves its brand on all mankind, and ultimately we are sullied, if only by association. The keystone of happiness is self-respect, and there is no better expression of this than the words of Shakespeare’s Polonius in Hamlet: Page Eight “This above all, — To thine own self be true: And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man.’
