Within .... Within Ourselves .... Within Ourselves Scholastic endeavors enrich our minds ... we learn ... to concen- trate ..... to persevere .... to experience the thrill of learning for knowledge’s sake ... and to realize the satisfaction of problem solv- ing through our own endeavors. With maturity comes objectivity. What the future holds in store for us, depends primarily upon our- selves alone. Some of us will be content to seek employment in our vast copper mine, or other local jobs, For these students, the vo- cational courses become foundations for on the job training. Others may only be content when they reach the moon. Many will go on to colleges and universities after completing college prep courses. In today’s age of space and automation, where it is estimated that the average worker will change occupations three times within his lifetime, the only sure thing is CHANGE. The personal challenge to all of us is to secure a broad educational background which will enable us to adapt to this change, thus maintaining an inner secur- ity. Whatever we choose to do, we alone, hold the key to the future.
