 FOREWORD With our joys, fond memories, and treasures of the past, we leave our Alma Mater to assume positions in the world of tomorrow. VVe are both thankful and grateful for the many opportunities presented to tis here. With confidence we meet the tasks and responsibilities before us in this changing world. It is by the principles of mutual understanding, tolerance, and co-operation, so urgently impressed upon us that we have been made aware of our duty to become good citizens of our community, our nation, and our world. Because the world has become a neighborhood, we have chosen the seven continents as the theme of our book. Our sincerest hope is that we may in some small way apply the virtues of understanding, tolerance, and co-operation, so that they may contribute to international good will and harmony. The wide knowledge and great opportunities opened before us at Parkland in the past twelve years, have made us mindful of the fact that so much depends upon us. We realize that even in world affairs, each new day makes the individual increasingly important. With a sincere thank you to those who gave so fully of their wisdom and work, a prayer remains on our lips for mankind. May God help us as we dedicate this book to the crusade for world peace and understanding.
