A LOOK BACKWARD . . AS WE STEP FORWARD Gradually the students who have attended the old Luxemburg Union High School have graduated. Upon the Commencement of our Junior underclassmen all students following them will have attended our present school building for all four years of their high school education. Ours, the class of 1962, holds the unique position of having attended each of these buildings respectively for two years. Until the 1960 school year r we were subjected to the ordeal created by a lack of classrooms, insufficient hall and classroom space, and a general need of those facilities omitted in an anti¬ quated structure. We went on this way, somehow satisfied, since we really could not realize what the last two years of school held in store for our class. Here we are today, almost raking for granted our spacious classrooms, our peaceful library, and our modern cafeteria in which hundreds of well-balanced meals are enjoyed daily by students and teachers alike. We hope that this page, rather than simply displaying a comparison between the two buildings our class has used, will reveal that there is no comparison. Also we hope that some present or future student at this high school will someday glance at this page and endeavor to appreciate to a fuller degree the school facilities he uses. Page Four

MR. GREGOR Today, our responsibilities of citizenship are not national but international in scope. We are citizens of the world Any narrower con¬ cept of our relationship to our fellow men is dangerous More than ever we are conscious of the full meaning of the words of John Donne: No man is an Hand entire of it selfe; every man is a peece of the Continent, a pari of the maine; if a Clod bee washed away by the Sea, Europe Is the lesse, as well as if a Promontone were, as well as if a Manor of Ihy friends or of thine owne were; any man ' s death diminish¬ es me, because f am invo lved in Mankinde; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; ft tolls for thee. For better or for worse we are brothers with the negroes of the Cengo, the natives of New Guinea, the Algerians of northern Africa and teeming underprivileged millions of Asia for Our fates are so indissolubly intertwined that the bell that tolls for them tolls for us also An ulcer in one part of the world is ours also. it was probably an appreciation of th«s close interrelationship between men and their cor¬ responding welfares that prompted the Educa¬ tion Policies Commission of the National Educa¬ tion Association to list the creation of desir¬ able human relationships as one of the four objectives of education. Translated into the daily achievements of our school it means that you as students are realizing this objective if you find satisfactions in working cooperative¬ ly with others on worthwhile projects. You must learn to appreciate the sacredness of each human personality and to appreciate that black or white, yellow or brown, gentile or Jew, within each group are the same potentialities, loves, hates and ambitions. Each is a human being who deserves the opportunity to make the most of his life, We must appreciate and understand the aspirations of the masses who for so long have been underprivileged. It is indeed fitting that the Class of 1962 should have as the theme for their Annual, World Understanding Through Education ' Paue Sr
