Senior Class Pioneers are people who go before cmd prepare the way for others. At first thought, one might conclude that the scientific age in which We live no longer offers opportunities for pioneering. This type of thinking is read- ily disproved when We see new advances made in the fields of science, communication. transportation. or education. History records the story of a great leader and conqueror Who in his boyhood had been so eager for glory that he is said to have wept at his father's victories, fearing there would not be enough worlds left for him to conquer. At thirty-three Alexander The Great was dead, a victim of drink and fever, and not all the worlds were conquered. In the field of education as in the field of history we have noted pioneers. Pestalozzi, a Swedish pioneer, was probably the first man to plan schools for all about 150 years ago. Thaddeus Stevens saved the day in our State Legislature for. free schools in our common- wealth. MELVIN F. Sl-IISLER Assistant Principal A pioneer to introduce high schools into the United States was Horace Mann and now in a little more than 40 years the number of high school students has multiplied six times and the number of students in colleges and universities seven times. This noble and devoted character also led the movement in our country for higher education for women when in l853 he admitted both sexes to An- tioch College. He further expressed the spirit of American pioneers in a challenging state- ment to a college graduating class when he said, Be ashamed to die until you have Won some victory for humanity. This challenge could also well apply to high school seniors. Some one has aptly said, God does not want us to do extraordinary thingsg He wants us to do ordinary things extraordinarily Well. Not all will be pioneers, but every one can follow paths which pioneers have explored. Good luck to the class of 1957! MELVIN F. SHISLER. Assistant Principal
