2U ica tion VVc, the Trail staff of 1950, wish to dedicate this yearbook to the future. Today we stand at the mid-way mark of the twentieth century— at the threshold of a new era. We have just completed five decades filled with tremendous advancement in every field. In this same fifty year period we have witnessed the terrible conflicts and the awful strife wrought by man at his worst. But now the past is behind us; the future alone is our broad horizon. The future presents to us the challenge of the age—the challenge to make our highest ideals become living realities in the better world of tomorrow. Perhaps we arc looking forward to an age of greater achievement than the world has ever known. Perhaps we arc at the dawn of the day when military strife will cease to exist. What the future holds is up to us—individually and collectively. The future is an eternal question. It is our responsibility to seek the satisfactory answer to that question. [7]
