If he (the teacher) is indeed wise he does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind ” — Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

There are some doorways that open so that a person may come or go as he pleases. There are other doorways that open only one way, and once a person has passed through these portals it is not possible for him to re¬ trace his steps. There are many such one-way doorways that we must pass through during the course of our lives, and seldom if ever can we be certain of what lies beyond. It is my sincere wish that each member of the Class of 1966 will find some doorways that will lead to places of personal fulfillment and beauty. Ara A. Karakashian Principal ADMINISTRATION Doorways open and they close. In many ways most of life’s experiences are either moments of frustration when the door is closed, stuck, or perhaps locked. Edu¬ cation and experience help one determine whether he sh ould go through the open door. To open the closed door requires the key of education and experience as well as individual courage and faith. Some of life’s best experiences and opportunities are behind closed doors. Be sure you are prepared to cross the thresholds you encounter. Ernest G. Spence
