I N L I M I N E THE EDITORIAL Many and varied have been the accomplishments of the World during our cloi- stered years at N.H.S. The greatest single discovery of man in this time was not that of the Atomic Bomb, but the basic realization that the world in which we live is- essentially One World, despite turmoil, strike, and man's great inhumanity to man. Now we, the Class of 1948, are setting forth into this world, intent upon im- proving and building it within our humble powers. It is evident that our interests and activities will not be narrowed into a handful of objects and goals, similar in scope, rather that we shall branch out into many different fields. In view of this, it must be conceded that although our successes will not be immediate and spectacular, we shall each make our mark, no matter how small, upon the endless sands of time. We stand now at the door of a very tall building, incomplete, yet possessing the ability to push its way to the very heavens. The foundations of this building were laid by many peopleg our families, who kept and guided us, our teachers, who instruct- ed and disciplined us, and our friends, with whom we shared the joys and sorrows of everyday life. This structure is the skyscraper of success. On the lower floors, the offices are marked Struggle and Strife, Inc. and Hardship, Handicap, Setbacks and Sons. As time passes and we ascend the steps of life, we find signs on the doors which read The Wisdom Co. and The Experience and Knowledge Corp. On the uppermost floor there is an office whose door proclaims Achievement, Prosperity, Victory, and Co. Those of us who attain this lofty place in society and leave their calling cards on the silver platter of accomplishment shall do so only through many long hours spent at hard work. Those who fail, shall, in all probability, do so by way of their own actions. Our fate, success or failure, lies more in our own hands now than it has lain at any time in the past. No longer can we shift our duties and faults to the shoulders of others. Therefore- Let us, then, be up and doing With a heart for any fate, Still achieving, still pursuing Learn to labor and to wait. We step forward into an unknown world, unafraid, unhesitating, vibrant with the conviction that we are ready. E. L. K. Page T1l'el11y Seven
