qouflz, 7-lie 72ation's wealflm Wealth is anything which has a beneficial use for man. Therefore, wealth consists not only of your material possessions but such things as health, friends, mental and manual ability, a kind disposition, or skill in getting along with other people. Likewise, a nation's wealth is much more than its material assets, lt depends upon its people and the use they make of the assets. The Wool- worth building would be less wealth in the possession of an African tribes- man than a good bow and arrow. You, the youth of today, are our nation's wealth. You are heirs of all the past. Have you learned how to use this priceless social heritage? ln this age of inventive genius, great material and scientific achievements- but also an age of great social dangers-can you meet the challenge of the times? Now, as never before, the future appears to hold unsurpassed wealth but, if we fail to meet its challenge, we will find chaos. C. V. Thompson Assistant Principal SEVEN

Qouflz, Out 'nations wealfh Youth is a small segment of life bounded on one side by childhood and on the other side by adulthood. Childish habits sometimes are carried over into youth and even into adult life which is not good. Youth is characterized by high ideals, great enthusiasm, boundless and often reckless energy, and a conviction that somehow they can remold the world nearer to the heart's desire. Adulthood many times is characterized by loss of many ideals, list- less routine living, and surrender to the fate of drab existence. Our nation's wealth consists of intelligent young people, who with the help of wise adults, build into solid character priceless gifts of idealism, in- dustry, and a belief that it is his divine privilege and duty to strive to better himself and his community with unceasing effort until he fades out in the golden sunset of life. The class of l95l, at the high tide of youth, is passing out and away from the restrictions, the inspirations, the companionship of other students and teachers. You have made yourselves secure in our respect and affec- tion, The Lord bless you and keep you young all the day of your lives. W. L. Richey Principal
