FOREWORD Each member of society is confronted with two alternatives for his life's direction: complacen- cy or concern, apathy or involvement, inaction or action. Our high school years help to sharpen our awareness of these alternatives, and present sig- nificant opportunities for individual choice and di- rection. The intellectual stimulus of a school of high academic excellence and its diversified scope of extra-curricular activity - in athletics, in com- munity service, in creative arts, and in cultural pro- grams - underscore the presence of alternatives as well as opportunities for choice. The student may manage to pass the required courses with the required grades untouched and unaffected by the interplay of the various currents of school life. But he can also, if he wills it, be- come purposefully involved in the life of the school community, seeking from his high school years all that they have to offer - socially, cul- turally, and intellectually. The school thus serves as a proving ground for the later experience of the individual. His reactions to the stimuli of the high school community may well be the indicators of the directions which he will follow in his encounters with the opportuni- ties and challenges of later life. Regulus 1965 is, we hope, a tangible memento of some of the many meaningful and satisfying experiences and associations of our high school years. It is also, we trust, a reflection of a student body committed to constructive involvement, to seeking and searching, to the opening of new gates of knowledge and achievement. 6
