Lamphere School Dentist !lDMlNl5'7Ri47l0N . . The possibility of a new world depends in largest part upon young people who now have traveled much and seen far places and discovered that the human race is essentially very much alike, that all blood is red and differences which were formerly thought important, such as religion, national and racial lines, are, after all, secondary to the essential busi- ness of living. I . . . believe that any young person, convinced of that fact, will be able to bring to our institutions . . . a spirit of essential unity and goodness. -Mr. Charles W. Roe. The miracles promised for a post-war world are but the application of knowledge to research and experimental work. If, through the educational facilities afforded, youth has learned how to acquire knowledge and apply it in the solu- tion of problems encountered, a basis for participation in a promising future will have been established. -Mr, George C. Olin. Greater new opportunities in every line are being created by our scientists and inventors for students who have the natural ability, knowledge, and will-power to work hard and long for the reward. But success is the gift to all of us who learn to be healthy, to take pride in doing useful work well, to be reverent to God and friendly to others, and to enjoy life with whatever means our abilities and efforts earn for us. Making a happy home is successful living. -Mr. Ernest Estwing. This new world, opened up by the airplane, challenges youth to study more widely its history, economics, and languages .... This generation's patriotic duty will be to help preserve the democratic way of life. Preparation to think courageously, to vote wisely, to discuss public ques- tions intelligently, to serve in public ofhces honorably is es- sential. In whatever capacity, youth of today must serve their country as trained and tolerant citizens of tomorrow. - Mrs. Marion L. Bates. 15

Olin Member With the rest of the world, today youth is looking ahead, beyond the war, to a great new world of miracles and oppor- tunity. From the directors of our school system come these visualizations and challenges of the world of tomorrow. Only the frontiers of the future have been sighted. Now we are under the clouds of battle, but there is a dawn over the horizon. Magnificent scientific and technological de- velopments are being blueprintedg abundance in goods of all kinds is assured. But we must match this afliuence with moral courage and integrityg with hope and confidence in the triumph of freedom .... We must build the future with faith, not fears. -Mr. Selmer H. Berg. From this war new and useful knowledge will be applied to the arts of peace, and with the right guidance from this new knowledge there will emerge a new world civilization .... Common good will justly replace individual gain. Free enterprise will furnish the opportunity to work, to live decently, to have a home and family, to educate children, to have security in employment and against sickness and old age. -Mr. Loren L. Whitehead. The world of tomorrow will be a challenging world to an extent unprecedented in all the history of mankind. Its destiny will be largely shaped by the youth of today. It will be a good world if youth brings to it an abundance of spiritual and moral values, strong and aggressive .... The challenge is for quick and positive action-Tomorrow is here! -Mr. Albert A. Schlaf. Everyone knows that our youth of today are the ones we are looking to, to bring us peace. They have a gigantic task .... just as they will bring peace to us, and the entire world, so will they guard the destinies . . . of our country and the world. The outlook for the future looks bright and happy, thanks to the youth of today. -Mr. Lawrence A. Johnson. 14

Mr. Blue I prefer to think of West Senior High School as an educational laboratory where the faculty, pupils, and community diligently and consistently study pupil educational needs and adjust the program of studies, subject content, and methods of instruction to meet these needs. This con- ception of the senior high school necessitates an open-mindedness and an alertness with refer- ence to the educational needs of high school youth and a willingness to seek and put into opera- tion the best information and practices available. With this purpose in mind, to meet the educational needs of high school youth, we are working to improve the health program, to effect greater skills in reading, writing, and speaking, to develop an understanding and apprecia- tion of our local, state, national, and international problems, to establish sufficient mathematical background to meet the problems of everyday life, to provide a better understanding and appreciation of the laws of nature as revealed in the biological and physical sciences, to encourage development in literature, art, and music, to offer opportunities for a broad vocational training, and to give the boys and girls the information and advice which will enable them to select their programs of studies and subjects more wisely. This program, if properly adjusted to the needs of boys and girls at the time it is given, probably will meet the needs of the youth in the future the same as it meets the needs of youth today. jAMns E. BLUE, M.A. Principal . 16
