Gur goals and interests as citizens of an aroused world must meet the challenge of man and all his diversities, aware that only on the surface men are unrelated. In other ,V words we must adopt the unifying thread of citizenship, which initiates responsibility, intelligent activity, and compassion for mankind as contained within the doctrines of Democracy. 5 Knowledge gained through education from one's family, school, religion, and friends c is a key factor. Through experience and self realization evolve values and personal codes of behavior. This is philosophy. Since it is the directing influence in one's life, philosophy must encompass the fact that every member of society exerts a social, economic, if or political force upon those about him, and therefore enters within the realm of uni- versal concern. Vast resources of human achievements and ideas are often unrecognized so they stagnate and disappear while many problems are left to fester, and finally erupt into boiling resentment because of prejudice, self-interest, fear, and ignorance. We, as young jg, Americans, must correct these errors before the wold destroys itself in misunderstanding and hate. gfff The great conllict between Democracy and Communism has forced the United States to fight for its ideals and very existence through our industrial, intellectual, and humanitarian endeavors. However, Democracy itself supplies enough goals for men to strive for without the threat of world-wide totalitarian citizenship. We must not fail this great challenge, because if we do the idea of Democracy will fall into oblivion with us. The fight for the recognition of the dignity of man, created in the image of God, must not cease until this truth is universally accepted as reality. We are the hope, faith, and proof of freedom. We must not fail.

This dedication can only express a small part of the thanks which we owe you. For the last two years, you helped us tirelessly on the road toward our final senior activities and graduation. Mr. Padden, you have helped us over many of the rough spots that we have faced and you have spent countless hours working for us, only because - for some strange reason you liked us. What can we say? How can we show our appreciation? All we can do is dedicate to you our book, THE 1961 CHRONICLE, and say wholeheartedly, Thank you very much, Mr. Paddenf' 4 1 'H '+'!!-r 'yE'.-7 fTT7f'!'F'1K'.WfE'T1 ?iYY m'L5'f'4'R0 '
