ln a legend of lndian lore, we Tind ThaT a pale- Tace may noT sing his own praises and hope To have Them accepTable before his God. IT seems however, ThaT The GreaT SpiriT who waTched over The desTinies of The red man has again appeared and Tound lodging in The soul and being oT one who has been raised up To become a leader and counselor in our viciniTy. Yes, God sends his Teachers unTo every age To every clime wiTh rev- elaTions TiTTed To Their growTh and shape OT mind, ThaT The wheels oT progress may con- Tinue To move. This man broughT wiTh him a masTer-key, ThaT was To unlock a vasT expansion program which would meeT The needs of a civic-minded and progressive communiTy. Endowed wiTh under- sTanding and ToresighT. as well as deTerminaTion and griT he, wiTh blue prinT in hand, launched inTo The mighTy deep, handicapped by The ar- rows oT inTrigue and misundersTanding, buT backed by selT-conTidence and loyalTy To his TrusT, he sTruggled againsT odds To sTarT The dynamo OT civic pride ThaT would reach ouT noT only To The insTiTuTions of learning buT To The ciTy as well. LamenTable indeed were The housing condi- Tions of some Tive hundred elemenTary sTudenTs, and even Though Tragedy sTalked abouT The old dilapidaTed grade school, Tew could see even The slighTesT chance Tor anyThing beTTer. We had a TooTball Team, buT how could we compeTe in The conference, when pracTically all in The league were scheduling nighT games? So, wiTh a migh+y Tug, ThaT seemed To loosen The sTrings of a Tinancial deposiTory, The cry wenT TorTh, ThaT we Too would play under lighTs. And The Thrill oT a liTeTime, l Think came To many of our more dubious ciTizens. when They wiTnessed our gridiron defenders kick OTF under The sTars suPT. H. w.

THE HAND BEHIND THE THROTTLE STARTS DYNAMO OF CIVIC PRIDE Yes, our Thanks To a civic minded and loyal com- muniTy as well as To The individual, whose course was neiTher impeded by mounTains nor changed by mole hills. However, To TirsT nighTers someThing was lack- ing To make The specTacle glamorous-and There wenT TorTh upon The eTher anoTher cry, WhaT is a band wiThouT uniTorms? and so pride was wiTh us sTill, and .beTore a year rolled by, we exhibiTed, in mosT aTTracTive cosTumes our band oT sev- enTy-Tive pieces. Too. our gymnasium lThe cheese boxl had long since served iTs useTulness, and was indeed an eyesore To boTh Teams and specTaTors. as well as a menace To healTh and our aThleTic records. Clouds no longer ob- scured our vision, and The mighTy key Turned again unlocking The door of good will and inTeresT. Today we poinT wiTh pride To a Tine Elemen- Tary School, Thoroughly equipped, To a gymnas- ium unsurpassed in This parT oT The sTaTe, and To an enlarged audiTorium ThaT provides TaciliTies Tor sTaging and presen- TaTion of any Type play ThaT mighT be chosen. We here pay homage To Mr. NewTon, who has conTribuTed in such large degree To The policies ThaT have broughT real- iTy ouT oT chaos. Mr. NewTon aT Microphone Page I2
