To the Class of 1960: Your high school years have sped by and you are now almost ready to enter upon a larger stage where you will play a more respon- sible role. It is wise to look forward to new opportunities and new tasks, but it is also fitting that you look back to years filled with achievement, growth, and fond friendships. Your editors, in seeking to preserve the memories of these last three years, feel that the word expIoration best expresses the theme and gives unity to your manifold experiences. Most of us, when we think of exploration, envisage mariners sailing to Antarctica, biologists investigating new antibiotics, engineers fashioning moon satellites or physicists searching out the nature of the atom. It is natural that you should think so in a, world where the visions and fantasies of the past generation have been turned by science into the facts and commonplaces of today. But our awe and admiration for science should not blind us to the importance of exploration, both in breadth and in depth, in other fields such as the arts, social studies, and literature. Any educational institution worthy of the name should nourish talent and creativity in all fields and light up the dark corners of the unknown in all spheres of learning. Most of all, man must explore in the area of living together harmoniously, not only as individuals, but in a nation-to-nation rela- tionship as well. This was the thoughtin the mind of our great President, Franklin D. Roosevelt, when he wrote, on his last day of life, for a speech which he never delivered: Today we are faced with the pre-eminent fact that if civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships-the ability of all peoples, of all kinds, to live together in the same world at peace. We hope that in this area of exploration, too, Jamaica's Class of 1960 will make some contribution. YU.ArQJ -I Louis A. Schuker Principal ii Sis . - V .gi , fy J MR. LOUIS A.
