Eurail of 5-Zxirecfom it f N 'tx ALMA GOOD What a strange world! For years youth has heard nothing but war and how they soon would be in it. Suddenly the war ended and everyone seems confused about where we go from here. The year T945 has witnessed a new display of infinite energy, which has set the whole world on edge and ushered in a new era. The story of the scientific development of energy control is an interesting one. Physical energy is measured in the terms of horsepower. There is a world to be rebuilt, not only physically but in spirit. Your accomplishments will come through the use of energy coupled with a force greater than the power of the split-atom. This is the power of the applied Golden Rule - Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. This great force works through the right use of time, abilities and material possessions, which are given to you as a trust from the Great Teacher of both youth and ages. As you launch out into the deep of your capabilities, may you use them for the common good of all.

Dillsburg has just cause to claim Mr. Baker as a son who made good in his chosen field of work. Our school is one that cannot rightly use the old gag about the boy who claimed he didn't really hate SCHOOL-it WGS iust the PRlNClPAL of the thing. Page ten Parker D. Baker, High School Principal
