Foreword What are we doing to prepare ourselves for the year 2,000 A.D.? Our l957-58 Round Table is not only a record of the events of this year, but aspires to give a graphic presentation of our preparation for the coming years. With only 42 years remaining in the 20th century we must concern ourselves with what will be of vital importance, when the next cen- tury arrives. When in retrospect we consider what was vital to men 42 years ago the list is limited. At that time he who speculated on a trip to the moon was regarded as definitely balmy . Today men accept even the wildest notion of brain storming as highly probable. We are in hot pursuit of eerie ideas. To pro- duce scientists, physicists, doctors, to cope with the future is our passion in '57-'58 as the first outer- space rockets reach for the moon. America, we are told, can not and will not progress unless we en- deavor to fortify ourselves with new ideas and skills. The basis of these ideas and skills is acquired at Northwest Classen. In our classrooms, in our extra curricular activities, and in our daily school life we are constantly building toward new and better con- ception of life. lt is up to mankind to exert all pos- sible effort to enrich the culture which we inherited from our forefathers, lt is the result of our effort which will determine whether the next generation will be leaders in world peace or followers in chaos. Our goal should be a strong mind in a strong body. No goal is unobtainable if everyone contributes his utmost. Northwest is known as a school of many talents. As you read the '58 Round Table you will notice that many clubs and organizations are created with a thought to the future. Today's participants' will be tomorrow's leaders. This is a time of decision. Will we be prepared for the society that will con- front us 42 years from now? fr li tw 0LQll,'g,i.iWl W with ll. ' f claw .,... i

A favorite spot with Northwest Classenites it has on this particu- lar morning inspired a spontaneous pep rally. Dedicated as a memorial to the late Jackie Wright, a classmate claimed by cancer, the project of collecting one million pennies became a nation wide endeavor. Halt of the funds went to medical research, the other half to landscaping of the patio. As years pass and the trees tower skyward, this pleasant meeting spot wili grow in favor and impor- tance as a youth center. Perchance many romances will begin here, thus enhancing its charm in the hearts of all who share its beauty. 3 fl A so m
