SuperinTendenT ArThur E. PeTerson IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF TIME -ARTHUR E. PETERSON, SuperinTendenT oT Schools l:ooTsTeps here and TooTsTeps There, as we proceed in Time, soon bring inTo realiTy The visions we have had OT The TuTure. The doors beTween The visions OT yesTeryear and The realiTies oT Today or The TuTure, are noT so Torbidding or inTangible as To become unexplained or expressionless, noT as long as There is a lasTingness To love and To memory. A love and a memory oT an earThly emblem, in essence, becomes enduring and unalTerable when ThaT emblem Through iTs inherenT worTh meriTs a devoTion worThy oT The highesT expression. STudenTs oT The Jordan High School who have been able To bring inTo realiTy Their visions Through The influence oT The school, hold Jordan as Thal emblem which will endure Torever in Their memories. From This devoTion ThroughouT Time, has come The adamanT sTrengTh oT The school. To The graduaTes oT This year, Jordan will become more Than a mere school or a sTrucTure oT sTone. IT will become a memorial oT The impressionable age of happy youTh sTruggling Tor a place in The world oT work and service. IT will be a symbol oT respecT and honor Tor Those who achieved and who aTTempTed To live iTs Teachings. For iTs inTluence Tor good iT will be carried Torward as an everlasTing sTrengTh. The l95O Year Book seeks noT only To honor The graduaTes OT The school This year, buT To re- vere The memory and spiriT oT The Triends and classmaTes who accompanied Them in The paThs oT life and in The ToosTeps oT Time.

gn PRINCIPAL This is The TorTy-second year since Jordan High School came inTo being aT lvlidvale in The base- menT oT The old EasT Jordan Church. Since ThaT Time Thousands of her sons and daughTers have passed Through her hallowed corridors, saT in her classrooms, worlced in her shops. The echo oT Their TooTsTeps sTill lingers wiTh us. Some came hesiTanT and unwilling: Their TooTsTeps were uncerTain, wav- ering. Some came gladly: Their TooTsTeps were buoyanT and lighT. Some enTered wiTh serious mien and walked Tirmly and purposeTully To Their chosen goals. All-in-all These Torerunners of ours have esTablished here a TradiTion Tor worTh-while achievemenT ThaT is a direcr challenge To each oT The eleven hundred ThaT Torm This year's sTudenT loody. Our ob- iecT should be noT iusT To reach The sTandards oT oTher years, louT To aim a Ii++Ie higher, do a Ii++Ie beTTer Than any group ThaT has gone before. Then when our TooTsTeps ioin wiTh The echoes They leTT, They will noT sTrilce a discordanT noTe, buT raTher enhance The sacred harmony. --O. D. BALLARD 4
