MESSAGE FROM THE EDITORS As we are about to make our farewell to the familiar and homelike corridors of Hope, each to travel his respective avenue of life, we pause in retrospect over the past years spent at our Alma Mater. The dikes of our memories burst open, and a tide of events, people, and joys tumble over each other to demand our attention -- each serving as a poignant reminder of those carefree days filled with overflowing happiness and friend- ship. Little did we know that our daily school life would become so much a part of us, and we now feel that all too soon these ties are being severed, for we are on the threshold of a new and strange life. Only now do we realize the debt we owe to our teachers for all they have given us - understanding, invaluable advice, and sym- pathetic knowledge of our everyday problems. If we have not in the past shown them our deep gratitude and affection, it is not due to lack of appreciation, but rather to the callous- ness of youth. Yet in spite of our shortcomings, EDITORIAL STAFF EDITORS-IN-CHIEF MARJORIE HARRIS ARTHUR RICHTER our teachers have skillfully set the mold to fashion us into persons well equipped to take our places in today's complex society. To justify their faith in us and their untiring efforts in our behalf, it behooves us to do no less than our best in the various paths of life upon which we may separately travel.

Our United States Con- stitution is clear and precise in promul- gating the principles of American liberty. These principles hold that every man has the right to freedom of speech, to freedom of assembly, to freedom of wor- HOWARD G. LEWIS ship, the right to a good education, the right to live where he pleases and work where he wishes, and the right to manage his own affairs. Principles of individual .freedom sometimes clash, however, with those of individual equality and, therefore, our rights as human beings must sometimes be limited. We must not interfere with the privileges of others, and the rights of any one person must not interfere with the welfare of people as a whole. In America, every man is free to achieve as much as he can, and he will be judged by his own accomplishment. A man's family background, his race, or his political affiliation is not as important as what that man himself is capable of doing. As individuals we have a duty to our family, our church, our school, our community, and our nation. During the past twenty years our horizons have widened greatly, and what happens throughout the world affects us, our actions can also affect the world. It is, therefore, our personal obligation to act properly, wisely, cooperatively in whatever we do. You, as a student, must constantly remember that every individual should deal fairly with others. Exemplify this concept in your relationships with fellow classmates and with your teachers in this school. Practice every day those Virtues of honesty, humility, integrity that help people to work together pleasantly, harmoniously and with shared responsibility. If we can all demonstrate daily some of the many principles of American liberty and guide our lives accordingly we can each play a personal part in helping America to grow better, and stronger, and greater in the years ahead.
