We Look to the F uture! An Editorial by the Editor, Vernon H. Jones. Q Even as we receive this issue of the Senior Supplement, our days in high school will have faded into the past. With regret we realize that they are gone beyond phy- sical recall. They exist, now, only as our most cherished memories. I look back on the days when I first en- tered North I-Iligh. I seemed to have been possessed with a nameless desire to get through the course as quickly as possible. But, as the semesters faded aw-ay and graduation time loomed only a few short months -ahead, a different attitude over- came me. I became sorry that I must leave the schoolg I felt that I had not appreciated it thoroughly. Yet, I realize the past is dead. It is to the future we must turn our thoughts and labors. It is not an easy thing to sit in the pres- ent and View the future through the eyes of past events. But let us try to look -ahead, let us attempt to glimpse the world into which we must make our homes tomorrow. As the Optimist Sees It. 'And so, at last the world is united! -W. Olaf Stapledon. Q 'The optimist looks into the future. He sees great and wonderful cities towering to the skies. The whole world is united in a bond of friendship. There is no more war nor hatred. It is a paradise on earth. As the Pessimist Sees It. Civilization will be destroyed by a ter- rific war. -H. G. Wells. Q The Pessimist can see only the most horrible things in view for the future. A great writer looks through the mists of time and predicts a devastating war to sweep the earth in 1940. Fear, dread, ap- prehension now hang over the world like a foul blanket. As We Should See It. The world is in dreadful need of men who will assume the new leadership . . . with courage . . . and vision. -Hendrik Van Loon. Q It is not enough that we should merely go out into the world and seek jobs. Since the war there have been innumerable chances for those who were capable to lead the world from the horrors of such conflicts. It is our place to banish any fear or dread that might over-hang us, thus Jinalging the world a better place in which o ive. It is for us to preserve peace and happi- ness. Yet, even as we leave our school, the thump of marching feet resounds over the world. France, Italy, Germany, Russia are re-arming their men. And for what ? Will the viewis of the pessimist be upheld ? Or, will we prevent them? Q According to one historian the misery of the last 15 years may be laid to a pro- found change in the economic and social structure of the entire world. America and the World sank into a terrible depres- sion. The serious problem was reorganiza- tion along economic rather than worn-out political lines. A great president and lead- er is now at the helm. .And wiith the whole- hearted corperation of every person, the future will take on a brighter look. In closing, may I quote one of our great- est present day writers, Until the youth of the land refuse to take up arms . . . there will be no peace.
