MESSAGE OU While for many of our students, June is merely the end of just another year, it marks the end of an era for those who are graduating and going on to colleges and universities all over the world. Simply having an education is no longer enough in this world, and as more and more college graduates flood the job market, the basic bachelor ' s degree has become almost meaningless. Now, it seems apparent that graduate degrees are becoming absolute requirements — soon even a master ' s degree may be commonplace! The point is that you never have enough education, and the moral is one of motivation: continue the educational process throughout your life for life is education. At Le Lycee, we make the strong distinction bet- ween having an education and being an educated person. And there is a major difference. As the world changes faster and faster, simply knowing things is not enough. The world demands leaders who are capable of logical and humanistic thought; those who can cope with challenges as yet unfaced; leaders who can apply the process to the problem to yield a solution. Our 1978 graduates join a growing number of graduates throughout the world -- many already involved in the diverse and complex worlds of business, the arts and public service. These graduates are continuing to reflect great credit upon Le Lycee and our new graduates will hope- fully follow in their footsteps. It has been a fascinating year for us all — new challenges and new adventures. Plans are under way for yet new expansions. Our classes are full — new inquiries about Le Lycee are received daily -- and our many Friends of Le Lycee have given unselfishly of themselves in sup- porting a never-ending list of special events, projects and activities. This support is both appreciated and necessary. But at the same time, we can never lose sight of the fact that we are here for one single pur- pose — educating young men and women in an ever changing world. RAYMOND KABBAZ
