GREETINGS: Another year has passed and as we look around us we see tremendous progress everywhere. Social, economic, and technological progress assumes an ever increasing tempo. Fundamentally the human personality is the same. We are subjected to more knowledge, more nervous tensions, and greater responsibilities. If we are to meet the challenge of our times, we must expect to increase the training of our minds and the efficiency of our hands just to live in a complicated society. Time and progress march on relentlessly. We cannot stem the tide. We can only better prepare ourselves to live in the society of which we are a part. Our school life must, therefore, be a period of preparation and of training. We cannot rest on our oars, if we would not be swept over the brink of disaster. Advancement of society leads to greater ease of physical exertion; yet, increases our mental and psychological exertion. We must be prepared to meet the challenge. Schools and the individuals who profit from the existence of schools must be prepared to change with the times. John Ruskin has said, The entire object of true education is to make people not merely do the right things, but enjoy them—not merely industrious, but to love industry—not merely learned, but to love knowledge—not merely pure, but to love purity—not merely just, but to hunger and thirst after justice.” I wish to congratulate the students and faculty of the Hudson High School for having effectively met the challenge to date. May you continue to progress and to grow. Edward P. Rock
