The potential for good in this great discovery is unlimited, and from that possibility for good which is even now a Ioasis for international cooperation we, the class ol 1948 of Mechanishurg High School, have taken our Artisan theme. Some 'times lightly, sometimes in a more serious mood, we have consulted lVIr. Andrew Atom, alert visitor to Ivlechanicslyurg concerning luis observations as to the school, its teachers and its pupils. That his findings may please you is our sincere wish. Ninety--nine percent of the energy ol -the universe is concentrated in the atomic nucleus. An atomic Ioomlo explosion creates winds traveling at 1,000 miles per hour. The most des- tructive storms we Icnow in Nature are mere 80 miles per hour breezes. The possiloilities for doing good with our knowledge of the atom are unlimited. By its use cancer may lae eradicatedg irrigation of Waste lands may he extended: space may loe exploredg the dread scourge of polio may he stamped out: even the coming of old age may he postponed. IVIan stands Iuelore the gateway to a new world provided he does not destroy the old one I : i '1-7 ' helore the new Age of the Atom can Ioe realized.
