Administration Perhaps no other school should ! e more actively concerned with New Horizons than a Vocational school, for its very reason for existence is based upon being ready to teach, not only what is modern, but what is to come. An example of what is to come is the Data Processing plant which will soon be installed in our building—and certainly the field of electronic computing is new, if not in the research field, at least in the educational field. It is said that “Man does not live by bread alone”—but certainly if he is to cal. he must work. It is for this reason that the teacher of trades is important to us, for from his guidance comes our ability to earn a livelihood. The academic teacher, too, assumes an importance we do not always comprehend until much later in our life. But maturity of mind feels a need beyond the physical accomplishments of earning a living, or even of living in comfort: we want to have a purpose in life; we feci the need of loving and understanding others, of discovering beauty, of developing a personal philosophy. Through the social sciences, through literature and art. music and the drama, we broaden our horizons even beyond the limits of our lifetime, because our minds and hearts can be lifted up to another, higher world of understanding.
