When Progress Rides Her Chariots High D. V. TREGEAGLE PRINCIPAL J one are the challenges and opportunities of the Old West. They have been interwoven into the normal pattern of modern living, and today’s young people are enjoying the benefits derived from successfully measuring up to the occasion. Yet, what opportunities confront the youth of this era in meeting not only the challenges of a world but of a whole universe. What will the future hold for those who fill the classrooms today! Science and technocracy are in the forefront of modern education — and they should be — if America is to continue in world leadership. We must train ourselves to live and lead in tomorrow’s period of life, never losing sight of our obligations to God and that ever existing duty to humanity. To be alive in such an age — To live in it, To give to it! This is your opportunity. What will you do with it! Sincerely, D. V. Tregeagle Principal

J. C. MOFFITT SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS J.0 be alive in such an age” is a great privilege and a gigantic challenge. This “age” could be gruesome, warring, destructive moment in history. It also could be, and should be, a time of achievement in excess of what man heretofore has ever known. To choose between these widely diverse routes is our task and responsibility. To really be alive must mean, for each of us, work, and plans, and some sacrifice. Without these we only exist and do not live in the best sense of the term. We must never assume that our individual choice of the route we travel in our age does not matter. Actually, the happenings of history in any age are the combined choices of all. Our confidence in young adults is that the glories of this age will motivate each and all to choose wisely and work accordingly. Cordially vours, J. C. Moffitt Superintendent In spite of Provo High’s new building, Principal Tregeagle’s greatest problem was to find places for a zooming school population. Here he made an announcement for Carolyn Williams. Superintendent J. C. Moffitt felt confident that the Provo schools could meet the challenge hurled at them by their congressmen. He discussed some of today’s problems with student Jackie Lindley. -8-
