 Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country. This quotation applies to you and the senior stu- dents of Wells River High School more now than ever before. Why is this true? Passing through the door-way to the space age our nation needs men and women whose careers will benefit not only themselves but also their country. As President John F. Kennedy said in his inaugural address to the nation: Ask not what your country can do for you, but ask what you can do for your country. There is no vocation in which this does not apply. A country is as good as the people of which it is composed. An inexperienced, unintelligent citizen is not the backbone of a country that is constantly growing and strengthening itself. Everyone should choose a vocation in which he will aim to improve his curcumstances, financially, socially and most important of all intelligently. Success comes through courage, faith, ambition, and a willingness to work. All of this training will make a person better qualified to serve his country. Our country needs intelligent hard working and foreseeing generations to take the place of preced- ing ones, year by year. Each person should ask himself seriously the question, Am I helping my country enough? Joan Spear Editor
