Joun MARSHALL is more than a school. It is the focus of happy and momentous memories that we shall cherish always, recalling smiles to our lips. Here we first began to realize the citizenship responsibilities that we should have to fulfill. And here our future lives began to take shape. Principles instilled in us during this period will continue to guide us when we take our places in the complex adult society of today. Our years at John Marshall have been good years—years to be remembered.

FOREWORD are Sseyr SA7 «) URING 1958, peace has been very much in the minds of most think- ‘ ae ing adults of all nations. It has also preoccupied the minds of many 224; Marshallites. “How can we become better ‘citizens for peace’?” It is a challenging question—for tomorrow we shall have to face the problem of how to main- tain peace. How can we prepare ourselves to solve this problem? Will getting good grades, participating in school activities, and studying faithfully mold us into the kind of citizens needed for the coming years? No! These alone are not enough, nor are intelligence and popularity. Rather we must love God and country, have high moral standards, a high sense of honor, and have genuine respect for and understanding of our fellowmen. For, without wisdom, what does intelligence avail? That you may bear these thoughts in mind as you end your high school days and turn to face the future, we have chosen ‘Better Citizens for World Peace” as the theme of your 1958 annual. This is a panoramic view of the opening meeting of the Eleventh Session of the United Nations General Assembly. [9]
