bedcation There are no distant points in the world any longer . . . Our thinking in the future must be world wide -Wendel Wilkie. We appreciate the validity of this statement more as each day passes. During these times of satellites and inter-ballistic missiles, the vast amount of territory in the world can be covered in an amazingly short time. Consequently, the place of young people in this world has become most significant. Taking our place in this progress may not be avoided. Though the sea lanes lessen the distance between the countries of the world, our graduates must still close the gaps in world understanding. We dedicate this 1958 Capri to that endeavor. 4

Since 1701, when Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac said that the Detroit River was the gateway to the West, the river has become increasingly important. The Port of Detroit, at present, ranks second largest in the United States in value of trade. On a tonnage basis, it is in twelfth place. There are good reasons for this progress. The Detroit River is a natural waterway with wide straight channels and an excellent loca- tion. There are thirty-one miles of developed waterfront along the river. Our port has become not only important in Great Lakes shipping but is a growing international port and the largest city in the world on an international border. With the opening of the St. Lawrence Sea- way in 1959, Detroit will experience further growth. Ships carrying merchandise from practically every country in the world will be passing by its doorstep. This trafhc will bring to the city, knowledge, wealth, increased em- ployment and industry. Cadillac may or may not have realized the tremendous potential of this city, but the Mumford High School students, as citizens of Detroit, know that they will benefit greatly from the Seaway Project. For this reason, the theme of the 1958 Capri is the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway - Detroit's door to the world. Ill 4
