CHARLES C. JACOBS, Principal t Your theme, The Shape of Things to Come,’’ is well chosen. There never has been a time in history when the world has had so many and such critical problems. You cannot possibly avoid facing these with your fellow citizens. These problems involve: (1) The increased birth rate beginning with 1947 which will call for a tremendous increase in employable people on and after 1965. (2) Crowded schools in high school and college. (3) Outer space exploration and travel. (4) The awakened Asia and Africa. No one can predict the outcome of these pressing issues. No one knows the special training or experience needed to assure us the best possible Shape of Things to come.” Your best and perhaps your only way to partici- pate in your lifetime will be to make every effort to live each day as complete- ly and as responsibly as you can. This always has been the finest preparation for tomorrow and there is every reason to believe that it will serve us well at this time. Our world looks to its youth with hope and confidence that it will bring about an even finer place in which to live.

Mr. Edmond Butler, one of our two Assistant Principals, has been at Levittown Memorial High School since its establishment in 1952. At first he came as an English teacher but a short time later he rose to the position he now occupies. During this time he has shown a tremendous interest in student activities and the future of the student body. Each day, Mr. Butler has warmly started off the day with the morning exercises and announce- ments. With his display of interest and concern, he has greatly contributed to our lives. Mr. Donald Mills, our new Assistant Principal, is a popular figure around Levittown Memorial High School. He has always shown a deep interest in school activities. This year, even with the additional duties of his present position, he finds time to actively maintain his concern for each individual in the school, and has often helped solve a student’s problem. There will always be a place for him in our memories for all he has contributed to Levittown Memorial.
