EDITCRIAL E SENIORS profoundly realize that the future happiness of the world is dependent upon the youngsters of today. The care of the future is in our hands. Consequently We have tried industriously to train our hands for the job ahead. Thus it seems only fitting that We build an annual around this general theme. Early in our high school years our faculty diligently began the task of shaping our hands in the proper mold by the information and guidance they were qualified to give. Their efficient and sympathetic assistance and their heartfelt desire to understand and assist us has made it possible for our hands to emerge from the mold with the desired shape and consistency - obedience and efficiency predomi- nating. As a result we youngsters today are not all romanticists. Rather We are realists. We perceive fully that the world in which We are to seek our livelihood is a world of keen competition. XVe attempt to create mental images of these hazards and consequently to train our hands to work under these conditions. Our prudence and foresight surpass those of our progenitors. At our finger tips lie determination, self-assurance, loyalty, initiative, and integrity. Our hands have become adroit in the use of the diverse talents of which they have been the recipients. Careful planning, conscientious application of effort, sincere regard for our fellow man, the adoption of sound moral principles, and the Will to succeed Will insure our future happiness. 8
