Vice- PrincipaI's Message Your choice of yearbook theme, From Shadow Into Light, is significant, revealing a realization that school years are enlightening but only pre- liminary to fuller understanding of the real meaning of educa- tion. You note that you have undergone change, another significant observation, for changes in you and in the world will be ever-present, re- quiring that you learn to rec- ognize and stay abreast of them. You have lived to see the first manned orbits of the earth. On to the Moon! Remember that these accelerating investi- gations of the unknown give man at once his greatest source of confident exhilaration, and also his greatest sense of anx- iety. Both conditions present a challenge which you must learn to reconcile with the pace and scope of the changing age. Both will demand an awareness of the focus and direction which you must give to manis widening knowledge. It is a ' marvelous new world that the technologists are opening to you, but it is a world which must be carefully judged in the light of how such progress advances man's well-being and security and how well it fulfills his age-old aspirations. You must feel rather strongly that education should be a constant, deliberate quest for progress which does not willfully discard the time-tested truths which have underscored advancement to our present threshold of knowledge. Deliberateness must also be your personal goal in your striving to attain excellence which connotes, if not perfection, at least the best you can achieve. You must dedicate yourselves to gleaming the ultimate from every experience that contributes to the whole, whether it be formal or informal education, sport and recreation, the inspiration of nature and music and poetry, and every contact with the universe and all it holds. Your reactions to the universe will vary in degree and manner. The more sensitive and perceptive you are to its in- fluences, the riper and richer will be your education so that it will become a lifelong enrichment. What you have learned up to now should be regarded as a catalyst in the education which still awaits you. Your personal dedication to these principles will bring you to the end of your earthly existence with the most priceless of riches, a whole man who has lived life to the fullest. JOSEPH P. DELANEY, , Vice Principal
