MELVIN F. SHISLER Arfirtfznl Prinrijml Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that defenses for peace must be constructedf' The foregoing statement is a part of the preamble of the Constitution of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. If the purposes of this International Organization are realized in bringing about a mutual understanding among the peoples of the world our fear of the use of atomic energy for destructive purposes should be greatly minimized. UNESCO attempts to promote a force greater than the atomic bomb-namely, creative and cooperative good will. Do you have faith that the greater force will prevail? The words from an unknown author which follow have significance to me. If they challenge you, think upon them. nz Have Faith in the future-and what you can do Have Faith in your job and stick to it too! Have Faith in the Country-Your Country and mine, In all of her crises, be in the front line. And too, as you struggle for glory or pelf- Hold tight forever, to Faith in yourself ! So face not the future, with worry and dread- Get busy-get ready-good days are ahead. MELVIN F. SHISLER Capable willing, gracious, pleasant, friendly kind-these are just a few words that describe Dorothy Rhoads, secretary at Senior High. We would not forget to include her among our happy memories of LHS. Eleven

HERMAN L. BISHOP Prinripfzl Graduation is a significant occasion in the life of any individual. It is one of the big events of a lifetime. But did it ever occur to you that it is the cul- mination of many little things? It represents the climax of twelve years of going to school, including daily class attendance, the preparation of thousands of lessons and the taking of hundreds of tests. During this time you made many friends and experienced many happy moments as well as some heart- aches and disappointments. We trust you also learned to be kind and courteous, to be even-tempered, considerate, dependable and industrious. Now you are standing on the threshold of a new day looking ahead to new experiences and successes. The realization of your fondest hopes will again depend largely on how you meet the day-to-day little tasks and prob- lems of life. The way you think and act, where you set your affections and place your trust-these will determine your success or failure. Four things a man must learn to do If he would make his record true: To think without confusion clearlyg To act from honest motives purelyg To love his fellow-men sincerelyg To trust in heaven and God securely. HERMAN L. BISHOP DOROTHY RHOADS Secretary Ten
