OUR PRINCIPAL To the students of New Washington High School: It is with the deepest gratitude and admiration that I wish to express my appreciation for the loyalty, co-operation and good work of the spon- sor, members of the staff of the Highwayman, and the classes of '54 and 55. As we face the ominous world situation of today, let us remember that every age has faced grave problems, but Twentieth Century tech- nology which has brought mankind so many blessings, has also increased man's power for evil and destruction, These forces of good and evil hang in precarious balance-a balance which must be overweighted for good if civilization as we know it is to continue. Faith, hope, and courage are vital constituents of the American Way. I challenge you, the youth of today, to be wiser, more patient, more firm, and to develop a keener sense of religious and moral responsi- bility than my generation. If you are so dedicated, I commend you to a future that has never been so bright, so resolute, or so strong. 1.szqu Principal of New Washington High School
