La Porte High School - El Pe Yearbook (La Porte, IN)

Page 6 text:

Our task In this volume of the 1976 El Pe is to illustrate the likenesses and differences of the past and of the present: not merely 1776 and 1976 but all of the past and the present. We are not only using the community of LaPorte and LaPorte High School in this comparison but rather, we are striving to Involve each individual. Our main goal is to involve each student in this comparison in hopes that he can relate to one aspect of the past and the present. We also hope to illustrate that although the past is gone, it is not dead for it lives in our minds in the form of a memory, and a memory should be used to strengthen our present ambitions. Yet, we must not dwell in the past for it is gone and can never be regained. As our high school days evolve we must use our knowledge of the past in our present learning experiences. Although this book deals with the past and the present it is dedicated to the future In hopes that it is brighter 3nd more prosperous than ever before. 2
