n idiH l EllWlWTin Every age has its key word and all of us this year have heard the word Preparedness. Many people connect the full meaning of preparedness with adult life, but it has a significant meaning to each high school student. All through this school year we have thought of our educa- tion for National Defense initerms of preparedness.
