Foreword Viaud School since its beginning has represented that which is highest, noblest, and best in ideals and scholarship. The School continues to hold up to you the same ideals and high standards of scholar- ship and honor. Those who have been your instructors have desired to acquaint you with knowledge -- a knowledge which will be able to perceive the truth and strive for that which is taultless and worthwhile. They have endeavored to guide you in making wise decisions for yourself. It is the sincere hope of the Spectator Staff of 1954, that, in years to come, as you hun back the pages of your life here at Viaud School, that this book may remind you that know- ledge is power and that the world has great need of the power that comes from knowledge and truth. The world is sick today, because in some parts of it so much power has fallen into hands that seem utterly unfit for leadership, and the aim seems to be the destruction of civilization. The need for leadership, wisdom, and character, is evident to the staff and, therefore, we can leave you with no better thought than a reminder that scholarship can be of great value to you in your later life. Your Alma Mater has started you on the path of right thinking. Continue your education it possible, for it may be of more value to you in the changed world of the Hydrogen Age. Wherever you go, remember, that Viaud and those who have gone before you are look- ing to you to hold to your ideals and take your place in seeking to better world affairs.
