To him whose elastic and vigorous thought keeps pace with the sun, the day is a perpetual morning. HENRY DAVID THOREAU Have you stopped to realize that the thought revolutions created by the invention of the wheel, and the findings of Columbus, seem as nothing when compared to the discoveries made during your few school years? If only we weren't so thoroughly tied down to the world of today and would realize that we're already living in tomorrow! This is no fantasy nor is it a Tomorrowland. Moon travel is assured in your lifetime and movement to other planets is more than prob- able as well. The capture of the atom is to your immediate future what the accomplish- ments of gasoline and electricity are when com- pared tothe development of the stone axe. Are you mentally ready for the complete change of living which will come in your life- time? Are you thinking of the implication for you and for your country, for the world? This is an era for the courage of new thought and imagination, and you should want to contribute to this new life. Is your mind Helastic and vigorous '? Surely it must be so to meet the reality of the times. The ability to think and to adiust is mandated by todays Tomorrow, and you are as useful as the stone age axe if thinking is not your way. 8 Ca the Smiars rf 1958- ln choosing Disneyland as the theme of your Yearbook, you have selected a most ap- propriate theme. One thinks immediately of the past, the present and the future but pri- marily of the future. The Fantasy Land of the present leads to the Frontier Land of the future, just as the dreams of the past lead to the Frontier Land of the present. The Fantasy of your imagina- tion will open up the vast and unexplored frontiers of space travel as its accompanying in- ventions unfold. For you, the World of Tomorrow beckons! May it be a bright, new world in which each of you contributes to the best of his ability. Vision, faith and courage are the necessary characteristics needed to build this new, un- limited world in which you will live. May you, the Seniors of the Class of '58, seek and find success, happiness and prosperity in To-Morrow Land . wM.Qos.,9W .1 -. ff' Mr. Richard E. Nodell, Principal ofthe High School.
