dfr U TODAY — a brief span of time between yester¬ day and tomorrow, a few moments which teem with history-making events. Today we stand on the edge of a new frontier, stretching and pushing back our horizons until they are no longer, and we can see the whole world tn its entirety. TODAY — a time when tensions between the United States and Russia mount at a dizzying rate; when the red stain of Communism first penetrates the western hemisphere as Castro declares Cuba a Russian satellite; when we see the Communist block splitting, as Red China and Albania side against Russia; when our national heroes are no longer statesmen, but astronauts like Colonel John Glenn; when our nation is led by young, vital men like President John F. Kennedy; when guns are obsolete and wars are fought with 30 megaton bombs and intercontinental ballistic missiles; when we feel as though we teeter precariously on the edge of the edge. TODAY we live in a changing Malden in which railroad stations become restaurants never again to hear the whistle of the fast disappearing passenger train, where the roar of a 707 jet-liner passing over¬ head no longer merits even an upward glance, where people ironically build fallout shelters with twenty- year mortgages. With a new Superintendent, a new Headmaster, and many new faculty members, Mal¬ den High School, too, is constantly undergoing changes in order to continue meeting the needs of the challenging new worl d of TODAY TODAY Malden High School 2
