WILLIAMS AFTER FOUR P.M. MR. PETERS A REMINDER TO THE SENIORS Not too many years ago the emphasis in our society was placed on man power. A great need existed for a supply of relatively unskilled labor to build the factories and op- erate the machines. Today automation is replacing unskilled labor and the emphasis is being shifted from man power to brain power. Society needs an ever growing supply of skilled techni- cians; ie, engineers, teachers, chemists, and other professional personnel. Opportuni- ties are unlimited for those who are willing to prepare for them. High school work has been preparatory and graduation merely a milestone. Now, select your goals and hew to the line until they have been attained. C.W.

A week of carrying books and bowing to their superiors was climaxed by Friday's dress-up day and a stage show featuring the freshmen antics. Even after this rough treatment, the new members of Roundup High signed a petition giving the seniors permission to cut off their heads. A dance in honor of the freshmen ended initiation week for the class of '59.
