FGREWCDRD In the beginning, a mist of ignorance veiled our young minds. But gradually this mist is lifting and the darkness is being dispelled. ,Light, which symbolizes the truth which we seek through our studies, is illumining the way. It is Christ, the Light of the World, Who has come to enlighten us spiritually and intellectually through our teachers and guides. As long as we follow the lighted pathway pointed out to us, we will be enlightened and continue to grow 'in wisdom. But if we reject the light of the Spirit we shall walk in the night and stumble. We at Monroe High School are now in the process of forming the foundation of our spiritual and intellectual structure. When this groundwork is finished, we still have the obligation of seeking the light by acquiring new knowledge, and by passing this knowledge on to others, thus taking part in the great work of the enlightenment of the minds and hearts of our fellowmen. l You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden. Neither do men light a lamp and put it under the measure, but upon the lamp stand, so as to give light to all in the house. Even so let your light shine before men, in order that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven. fMatthew 5: 14-165
