ADMINISTRATORS 1 , Miss Irene Rice ' gg? Principal The staff of the i956 Weslerner has prepared the record of this school year around the unifying idea of Time, which leads us to ask ourselves what we mean by Time. Man has divided Time into equal units and to each individual is given the same number of these units. For each, a tlay has twenty-four hours of equal length. Some of us will waste what we have because we will forget that an hour lost today cannot be recovered tomorrow. Anti some of us will use each hour wisely. Time naturally falls into larger divisions - the Past, the Present, and the Future. About the Past we can do nothing. If we miss an hour, as it is passing, it is lost forever. The Future lies beyond us, and its use will concern us tomorrow But the Present is our responsibility, our opportunity. It is ours to use or mis- use, it is ours to use completely or to waste. Wise use of Today will eliminate regrets for Yesterday and anxiety for Tomorrow. t2wWGZg. Mr. Herbert K. Bosley Assistant Principal Mrs. Marjorie P. Bowen Assistant Principal ENCOURAGE ACHIEVEMENT
