FOREWO RD Dear Seniors, With this Argus, we have tried to create for you a last- ing memory of the time you spent in high school. As the years go by, we hope that you will often pick up this book, and, glancing through it, recall many happy events and occasions. It has often been said that high school days are the best, and, now that we have come to the close oi the school year, we realize that this saying has become a reality. Although these days are vanished forever, the thoughts, ideas, and traits we have learned will be reflected through- out our lives. lf, when entering high school, we had pos- sessed the right attitude, sought knowledge, and worked industriously, then, upon graduation, we should have had a feeling of pride for a iob well done. Our country, in this modern and complicated age, will need young, enterprising citizens to help guide it in the years to come. This, as we know, is not an easy iob, there. fore, students should do all in their power to prepare them, selves for this task. Race, creed, and color are no hind- rances in our country, hence any one of us, if determined, can obtain an education and develop himself to the highest degree. To aid us in this preparation, numerous offerings and scholarships are available today for all of us. From shambles have come men of distinction. Abra- ham Lincoln and George Washington Carver are examples of such competent citizens. They should inspire us to work diligently and to achieve the utmost in life. We hope that each of you will strive to meet the chal- lenge of the future. Only if you put to effective use the knowledge you have gained and the skills you have de- veloped during your high school career, will you be able to cope with the problems that will confront our nation in the years to come. It is, then, with high hopes for your success and with great respect and admiration, that we present this Argus to you, the Class of l956. The Editors
