INTRODUCTION Today we ore entering the most amazing and wonderful of all ages—the Space Age. In to- day's world rockets, artificial satellites, Sputniks, and planned trips into outer space are talked about constantly. Because of this, we, the staff of the Milbank High School annual, have chosen as our theme The Space Age . Weeks, months, ond years go into the planning of each rocket. Rough sketches and pre- liminary drawings are mode. Scientists calculate each dimension with the utmost care. Then a blue print is made and models of the rocket are shaped. Finally, the rocket itself is finished. All of this planning and careful, painstaking work has determined its final shape and form. In a somewhat similar way our extracurricular activities influence the finished product, the senior, who graduates from Milbank High School. However, the planning and work determine only the physical form of a rocket; our extracurricular activities—athletics, speech, music, ond clubs—develop and mold not only the student's body but also his mind and personality. 4
