 To your generation lies the challenge of a new era beset by the complexities of many problems. The expansion of population, the burst of technology, space exploration, the discovery of new forms of energy, the rise of new nations, and the world wide rivalry of ideologies are new problems to which your generation must apply new knowledge. The resolution to these problems and to all problems will come only from the minds of men, from education. We all need to be more cognizant of this fact. As learners, we should strive to the maximum attainment of our abilities and to be aware that education is a process that continues throughout our lives. The optimism of a truly incomprehensibly bright future is yours, but attainment of this is no simple task. It requires the energies and responsibilities of statesmen, doctors, teachers, laborers, parents, indeed all those who will accept the chal- lenge. Each should contribute his fair measure. Michael E. Gance Assistant Principal VICE-PRINCIPAL
