OUR CAMPUS m i Clinic High School The year 1958 will be one to remember in the history of Luxemburg High School not only because the voters finally agreed to finance a new school, but also because classes were conducted in four different sections of town. In addition to the main part of the school, the legion building and the town hall were again used for classes, and this year they were also held in the clinic building. Because the clinic is about four or five blocks away from the main school buildings and since only five minutes are allowed between classes, busses were used to transport students to their classes, A few teachers doubled as bus drivers to take the students back and forth, AH in all, the best was made of an incovenient situation. Thanks for this can be given to the cooperation that existed between teachers and pupils. Town Hall Legion Building Page Four

EDUCATION PROMOTES PROGRESS Slowly at first, but with an ever accelerating pace, man has been continually expanding the frontiers of knowledge so that today we stand on the threshold of a great new day in science and exploration. Everywhere the mind of man is raising the curtain of darkness revealing vis- fas of new worlds and the realization of old dreams. And on the expanding stage of know¬ ledge new dreams arise offering new challeng¬ es for the intellect of man to make realities in the conquest of his environment. What an exciting and challenging time this is for the young people who are preparing themselves for their life work! Never will one ever be able to bemoan the possibility of not having new worlds to conquer. Every advance in knowledge reveals new challenges. Yesterday vast stores of energy were made available to man through nuclear fission and fusion. It created new concepts of industrial development. Today the great challenge is space travel. It is the beginning of a new age in world history. Tomorrow the deserts will bloom through the discovery of economical means of remov¬ ing salt from the waters of the oceans. The moon will be occupied. Probably Mars will be visited. But behind every new advance is the train¬ ed mind of man pushing forward the frontiers of knowledge. This significant fact has made nations realize that the minds of their people are their great natural resource. The fullest possible development of the intellect of every individual is a necessity for survival as a first class nation. Undoubtedly the greatest con¬ tribution that any individual can make in the cold war is to take every possible advantage of opportunities for education. Truly education is a requisite for progress. It frees the spirit and nurtures cultures and the search for truth. Under it ' s beneficence men go forward with confidence in the future. George V. Gregor Principal Page $i
