i-IPH ADMINISTRATION The season for acquiring formal general education is the short season of one’s youth. This season is not necessarily determined by one’s chronological age but is, rather, that span of time during which one’s society permits him to de¬ vote his full attention and energy to self-improvement through formal education. Some prolong this season by matriculating at institutions of higher learning. Others cur¬ tail it by assuming adult roles and responsibilities upon graduation. In either case, I hope that each member of the graduating class can look back upon his three years at Read¬ ing Memorial High School as a pleasant and rewarding season. —Ara A. Karakashlan Principal The 1965 Pioneer’s theme from Ecclesiastes 3: 1-9 presents a challenge to man from the past. Man’s view of himself and his relationship to the world and his God has changed in the 2,200 years since Ecclesiastes was written. Many scholars feel that all is not predestined. Man’s works need not be futile, for man has a will by which he can in great measure influence his future. This he has learned to do as he has gained knowledge of himself and of nature, and has better understood his relationship to God. Learning is man’s key to the gains he may reap from his toils. Your education does not stop, then, at any given age or period of time, for the world is ever changing and you must continue to learn to insure that your decisions and actions will always have meaning and purpose. —Ernest G. Spence
