All school production of Oklahoma a huge success. Christmas pageant an annual event. Students post daily announcements. Life without creative effort is unthinkable, and the whole course of human culture is one continuous effort of the creative will of Man. Gabo We dwell in a constantly revolutionizing age, full of new ideas, inventions, and fads. Our present culture scarcely resembles that immutable civilization of ancient China. As the latter adhered to its glorious past, so we aspire to a glorious future. Our future signifies progress, our main theme of life. Creativity, the food for progress, interweaves itself in varying degrees among each of us. To improve, a culture must produce this “food in excessive amounts. Utilizing this attribute depends upon our own effort and desire. Life without inspiration becomes useless. The world can neither witness nor examine imaginative thoughts ensconced in the mind. Therefore they have no intrinsic value to mankind. Inevitably, manifestation appears essential, whether it be new-fangled dances or revolutionized scientific concepts. By displaying our incentives, we yield to the world a better understanding of our generation. Every action we perform was once innovated for the first time. Each time a dance step changes, a new word evolves, or a rhythm is altered, creativity is at work. With this quality and motivation we can open the door of progress and, like Gabo, mold our impact on society as it continues along that advancing highway.
