PRI CIPAIXS MESSAGE MR. RUSSELL K. NOYES, PRINCIPAL Our society today makes more demands upon you young people than ever before. It becomes increasingly difficult for you to live up to your convictions as to how you want to live. Pressures cause you to give in and do things the easy way. If you are not strong in your stand to defend your beliefs, you will find that you soon will become one of the many people who do not defend their ideals because they fear that they will be critized by those who disagree. As a result, you, as with many of the others, will follow the path of least resistance. Such a path never leads to accomplishments which are needed to better the society in which we live. Remember, progress was never made ex- cept at the expense of those people who truly believe in what they were doing and, therefore, took a stand in behalf of their beliefs. As you travel through life, have faith in and love for your fellow human beings. Have compassion, love, tolerance, and understanding for those around you and you will never be without peace of mind.
