'ig M ' i 's PRINCIPAL To my friends, the graduating class of 1957, my congratulations on your completion of this rung of the educational ladder! It is interesting that the staff should have chosen iazz as the theme of the 1957 Titanian, for there are many characteristics shared iointly by iazz and our teen-agers. Jazz is truly the music of youth-its driving beat and momentum expressive of the energy, optimism, and for- ward look of high school age youth. Furthermore, jazz is vividly expressive, conveying the gamut of emotions--joy, sorrow, anticipation, regret. No one can be in the company of teen- agers long without finding that they, too, are abundantly expressive! Extemporization seems to be a keynote to iazz-a jazz piece is never played twice the same way. In the same way, individualism is a mark of youth-the probing experimentation of the teen-ager as his per- sonality develops within the limits imposed by society and its conventions. I'm not so much concerned that you remember the Pythagorean Theorem or other bits of factual information picked up in our classrooms, but I do hope that you have learned to think logically for yourselves, that you iudge sources of information critically, and that you have the fortitude to stand up and be counted when you're on the side of right and iustice. No better piece of advice can I give you than, Search deeply, think freely, act boldly!
