From the Principal’s Desk During the brief span of your high school career, major breakthroughs have been achieved in many areas. Your life is influenced daily by these advances in medicine, education, transportation, and means of warfare. It might reasonably be said that the key words to the present social order are rapid change. For example at the time you entered high school there existed a struggle among the leading nations of the world in the development of weapons of great destructive force. Devastating armaments have been perfected in this very brief time and just now these same nations are attempting to develop an agreement to lay aside these instruments of destruction. In the area of education, several chapters of a textbook may become obsolete during the few months required for printing and distribution. Does this not suggest that your graduation from high school is not a unit of education? Let us hope that your pleasant associations and numerous accomplishments in high school have served as an inspiration. May you meet the challenge to live successfully in this era of rapid change. I believe that to so live will require you to engage daily in the process of self-education. College careers will afford this op- portunity to many of you. For those who do not go to college the demand is even greater that you continue to grow in knowledge through reading, thinking, and ob- serving. In order to live fully you must possess imagination, exercise creative ability, and learn to make adjustments readily to new ideas and new ways of living. 14 WALTER PUETT
