'l'Hli GRIZYIIOUND Tl-Ili EDITORIAL Cflasfmates, as we proceed to assume a new task, the task of leading our glorious country out of these tumultuous, worldly troubles which beset it. the path will be no super-highway. As we struggle along, Communism will be nipping at our heels, ever trying to veer our course. Eternal vigilance must be ours in dealing with these mur- derous men who do not even believe in God! Iiducation today has reached the highest standard in history. In as much as highly qualified men and women instruct us, we study the texts of the expert minds among our professional people. Every method is approached to broaden our outlook on life. All of these objectives are aimed at a thing called success, which should be our success. Today's educators realize the horrendous danger in the world today and sincerely urge us to choose a vocation not lightly but after due deliberation if we would succeed at it. They are wary of the fact that floundering, cliscontented people are vulnerable to cor- ruption and tyranny. Now some of us may aski Wli.it is success? Success is a very intangible thing. lt is defined as the gaining of wealth and positiong good fortune, favorable resultsg wished for ending. Take your choice. I personally prefer the last because it includes the personal element of striving for a goal. Many of us will never achieve OLII' childhood dreams but success may be reached in many other ways. How about the feeling of personal satisfaction when we cast our first vote? Many of our boys will step from N. H, S. into the uniform of Uncle Sam's armed services. How about the personal pride that will be ours, knowing that we stand ready to protect our family, our town of Naugatuck and our country if the need should arise. I am convinced that in our first seventeen years, the need for Gods guidance has been manifest to all of us. Witliotit Gods help you and I are nothing. The need for reassuring sceptics of our dependance on the Almighty has been recognized by our president who recently initiated a Back-to-God movement. As the pendulum of fortune starts to swing toward us, the leaders of tomorrow, we must gircl ourselves for the battle. The heritage and traditions of the grandest country in the world will be ours but so will the gigantic responsibilities. We cannot realize the adjustment that faces us but the feat must and will be accomplished. May God bless each of us. May we find ac'c'omplishment. contentment and gratifi- cation in the course of our adult lives. T. B. 1'.1,qt T1c't'r1!,i liirc'
