YOUTH AND THE FUTURE “The future is a world limited by ourselves” ----MAETERLINCK Here we stand - Youth - before the door - Future. This door will open to reveal Tomorrow whether we unlatch it or not. Tomorrow always comes, but as Youth we cannot wait for the door to open by itself; we must find the cor- rect key. We are determined to push it open and burst through. This is the dedication of HI-LIFE - to the Youth of Farmingdale and its Future. But what is the Future? Tomorrow is the result of today, and today the result of yesterday, and so on ad infinitum. We do not know when or where the first yesterday occurred; nor do we know all of what shaped the yester- days from then until now. But we have learned that we, today, stand on the shoulders of all those who lived before us. We cannot estimate the centuries that were needed to place us where we are and we can but marvel at the first man who conceived words or numbers or symbols. Our knowledge of the past is limited, but we have learned one clear fact. We benefit immeasurably from the efforts of the generations preceding ours. Our ancestors lay down the foundation and our parents and teachers enlarged upon it and passed it on to us. Our challenge is to increase it again and pass it on better and greater than we received it. 4
