Dear Students: The Space Age is truly the age in which we are living. The space revolution is of such vital importance, of great dimensions, and is developing at such a rapid pace that it makes extra demands upon our mental, emotional, physical, and financial capabilities. It is not possible for .us to imagine the changes that are taking place. Our need to lead in space exploration is not merely a matter of space survival, it is not simply the result of a normal impulse to surpass our competitors, nor is it the results of a selfish desire for the yet undreamed of conveniences and luxuries which the mas- tering of space technology can create. It arises from a broader and nobler purpose which has existed in the hearts and minds of people since the first human thought occurred --the desire for fulfillment of the ultimate destiny of mankind Today's challenge must be met today. Now more than ever we need to develop the intellectual resources of our people to the fullest. It is my hope that the students of Kaufman High School will realize this today, and tomorrow as you travel through the space of Life you will be pre- pared to meet the many challenges. Sincerely yours, 4 I Jimmy Phillips Superintendent

About one hundred miles from earth stands the invisible and rather arbitrary boundary where the earth's atmosphere ends and the vast reaches of airless space be- gin. Space has always contained the whirling planetsg the blue and yellow, white and red stars, gas and dust, meteorites, asteroids and radiation. Today it contains one more--the work of man. In 1958 the national Aeronautics and Space Administration was born. An act of Congress authorized this new agency to direct all aeronautics and space activities. Thus a new era was born, which will eventually lead to a completely new way of life. It is just a matter of a few years until we will have explored the moon and from there a short step to further space travel to other planets. The purpose of Kaufman High School is to offer an educational program that will motivate the students to acquire the tools of learning and the basic skills and attitudes essential to functioning in this modern space age society. It is my sincere hope that each of you will do everything possible to become pre- pared through education to meet the challenge of this new space age way of life. Sincerely, zu 25? 712223640416 W. B.
