Co-Pilot— While this Minnesota Centennial Year gives us an opportunity to measure progress of the past, yet it affords a vantage point from which to view the future. With the advent of atomic power, the jet airplane and the launching of satellites coupled with talk of space travel we may feel a bit uncertain and confused as to the course of things to come, but there is, however, an air of expectancy that should lend encouragement to everyone. Opportunity beckons from every direction to those who are ready to accept the challenge. We need to remember that new ideas and new inventions do not just happen. They are the result of years of study and hard work. This is an age of imagination and ingenuity—one in which new ideas and skill play a big part. The best way to prepare to take part in the affairs of life is to take full advantage of present day opportunities. Every individual is an important part of the progress of society. —Wilfred L. McGimphey, Asst. Principal IT}

Pilot- We have witnessed this Centennial Year, the dawn of a new era which future historians will probably identify as the Satellite Age. This beginning of the conquest of space reminds us again that the earth is shrinking and that two thousand miles of ocean are no longer a barrier l etween our continent and others. To live in this new era we not only must learn new lessons, but must also remember those older truths which have guided our civilization through other periods of change and have prepared us for the future which lies ahead. Actually, the new lessons are new applications of those principles of learning about, working with, and helping our fellowmen in the march of progress. Ixd us enter the new age with a stronger faith—a faith in ourselves, a faith in our country, and most important, a faith in God. —Norman A. Jensen, Principal C6]
