l l i., PREFACE Life's worth is often judged by the pattern or design with which it identifies itself. These patterns are unique and very individual because each of us is unique and special. Young people often blindly attach themselves to a role which they cannot handle in fear of finding their true identity. Finding one's identity is possibly the hardest task which one can undertake, but it is certainly the most rewarding because only when we know ourselves well can we establish a pattern that will let us develop our talents to the fullest. Still, how does one know what to :ici wvitli Iris liika? Nature possibly has the answer. Each rose and every dew drop has a purpose, no matter how outwardly frivo- lous it might seem. Look closely at a diamond. Each crystal reflects another which is the quality that makes a diamond so precious. Alone each would be nothingg a few would be mildly appealingg the aggregation makes the diamond the most widely sought gem in the world. The youth of today are the many crystals of a growing democracy. What we do with our lives will reflect upon our society and throughout the world. For this reason we need a foundation made solid with dedication, pur- pose, and unity. It is with these ideas that the Gavel presents to you the 1963 Gavel Annual. The artist who created the cover is Sue Krasno. The theme design was chosen because these are the years in which we must test ourselves to find the best-fitting design. Page

ADMINIS An administrator is ac- knowledged to be a human being fmore or lessj , and yet he is frequently ex- pected to be familiar with every problem of every per- son in his chargeg to listen patiently to everyone's gripes, without gripingg to accept other's mistakes without ever making them himselfg to praise, without hoping to receive praiseg to enforce rules and regula- tions for the good of the many individuals without dictating: and to be reason- able, understanding, fair, and even-tempered at all times without expecting others to conduct them- selves in like manner. The task of an administrator is indeed a difficult one, but it is a noble responsibility. T an FACULTY A teacher is a human questionnaire: Why isn't your home- work done? VVhat are you talking about? Haven't you begun the next assignment yet? Are you chewing gum? Why were you absent yesterday? When are you coming in to make up the test you missed? Who erased the board? Why didn't you come prepared for class? What's your excuse this time? Are you Finally ready to settle down to work? Why don't you ever comb your hair? How do you expect to pass if you don't do the required work? If you didn't under- stand the work, why didn't you ask for help? Why didn't you study for the test? Though plaguing stu- dents with these queries throughout the day, teach- ers atone for their inquisi- tions by asking the one question that justifies all the others they ask: How may I help you?
