The World . . . The world is now too dangerous for anything but the truth, too small for anything but brotherhood. A. Powell Davies Ours is a time of radical change-perhaps the best indication of this is the constant appearance of the word radical in ever- yone's vocabulary. Society is full of contradictions and forked roads. Somehow it has happened that our generation is faced with some of the most important questions created by the human race in its endless struggle to progress. Progress?? Not only must we decide whether it is a blessing or a curse, we must make that decision as the very meaning of the word is being altered and modernized. Change is one thing, progress is another. 'Change' is scien- tific, 'progress' is ethical, change is indubitable, whereas prog- ress is a matter of controversy. Bertrand Russell We are being told here and reminded there that we must rely on the Collective Human Conscience, of which we are all vital units, to determine the fate of people the world over, perhaps that of the world itself. But lif I may be excused for the inexcusa- ble use of a trite expressionl the buck simply can't be passed any further. Facing up to such gruesome possibilities demands a great deal of strength-strength whose only possessor is a complete per- son, someone who feels satisfaction within his own completeness can better face the tough reality which is today. As each one of us searches for that completeness, we encoun- ter certain stumbling blocks and obstacles which most grown-ups seem to call all part of growing up. lf facing these problems in a mature way is a part of becoming an adult, then it would seem that we have a FANTASTIC number of thirty-, forty-, and even fifty-year old children in this country. With the monstrous weapons man already has, humanity is in danger of being trapped in this world by its moral adolescents. Omar N. Bradley Most young people today realize that only a generation of complete adults can come to grips with the problems of today's world. One need not be scholar, nor genius, nor expert to be a com- plete person. He simply must define for himself the criteria by which decisions are to be made. He must find his own individual faith, he must determine his own truth, and hopefully, he will find the peace and wisdom necessary to make up his own mind about anything. That every man should regulate his actions by his own con- science, without any regard to the opinions of the rest of the world, is one of the first precepts of moral prudence. Samuel Johnson These things are ambiguities-for most of us they are buried treasures yet to be found. Our lives should continue, though, in the light of the knowledge that they can be uncovered. Attempt the end and never stand to doubt, Nothing's so hard but search will find it out. Robert Herrick People tell us lthe staffl that a yearbook has no business deal- ing with such worldly things-it is to be a Pictoral History of the schoolyear. That's what this is going to be. But, you see, the life of a school is a very complex unification of the lives of all the individuals who go there. As the quest for Completeness becomes a reality for more and more of today's students, so it must become--and is becoming-an integral part of School Life. Or perhaps the trials of School Life become an integral part of the quest-who knows? So, in the hope that perhaps, by seeing how about two thou- sand people probed and plotted their way through T85 days of high school, someone, somewhere, might be able to solve one problem, to find one answer, we present l972-1973. In Pictoral Form, of course.
