Look well, there- fore, to this day; such is the salutation of the dawn? DR. J. FRED ESSIG Assistant Superintendent May I congratulate the Silhouette Staff on its selection of the yearbook theme a ttTime is Passing. Recognizing the value of time reflects maturity of thought. Time, itself, is a priceless possession. There is no price tag attached. It cannot be purchased; neither can it be sold. Ex- pressed in terms of the future, time is, by far, the most treasured of all gifts that graduates may receive at commencement time. The Giver of all good and perfect gifts asks only that it be used wisely and well. My sincere wish for each member of the Senior Class is that he may guard the gift of time closely, lest it slip through weak fingers - that he may use it as a helpful ally that will bring him many years of happiness and success.

Time to go to church and to show our love and appreciation for our family and friends . . . Time to enjoy the good things in life and to grow into useful and intelligent men and women. Yes, we all have time to do these things and many more. Yet, how easy it is to procrastinate and lazily dream of the great things we are going to do tomorrow, next week or next year. iiTime rolls its ceaseless course,, and while we are prone to drift with the tide iithe eternal surge of time rolls on and bears afar our bubbles? Time passes our way but once, but if we meet the tasks of each day with a determination to do our best, our tomorrows will be bright and most of our dreams will come true . . . The Seniors of 1959 have used their time wisely and are now graduating from North High. They are a friendly group, and we shall miss them and we hope that they will miss us and that they will return often to their Alma Mater during the passing of the years ahead. C. V. THOMPSON . hr'vim s W .-V.Wa.vmvm ...... t WN ' 't t ' - ' T' V Assistant Principal Throughout the ages man has pondered the question of time. Poets and philosophers have been inspired by the mystery of this question. The great leaders of mankind realized the truth in the statement, iiTime passes on? If we think of time in retrospect, we see the great accomplishments of man as they are revealed in the panorama of history. Rather than thinking of time which has passed, let us think of time in the future. It presents an opportunity for each of us. If we realize that time is a precious gift which should not be wasted, we will make each day a meaningful one. To each of you may the future bring happiness and success.
