Introduction The passing of time has been measured through the ages by the shadow of a sundial and the shift¬ ing of sand in an hourglass. Today the ticking of a never-ceasing clock indicates seconds, minutes, and hours as the days grow into weeks, weeks into months, and months into years. When we try to recapture yesterday, we soon learn that the past can never be truly known again except through a record, a reminder of what has been. The Pioneer is, therefore, such a chronicle of memories — of school and teachers, of friends and acquaintances, and, most important, of time. The years spent during this segment of our lives have given us the knowledge which will be an invalu¬ able aid in our future endeavors. To these solid building blocks of the past, we will add layers of further education, gained in the home, in the world of business, or at an institution of higher learning. The call of the classroom bell is over for some students, just beginning for others. However, all of us look to the beckoning future. That elusive tomorrow holds promise of new experiences, new independence, defeats to be encountered, obstacles to be overcome, and victories to be celebrated. As the clock ticks onward, our lives progress. The future becomes the present, then the past. We learn that life is time, and time is today. 2
