in Importance and Challenge at the Future L... T. . ,-,,....---Q...s...,...,,,..,,..,..,. ' s . ativan Hunan ummm ,-gg.-up-an-w-4 ,..,,.---0- W Ellis J chnscn, Vice Principal HE theme of Time for the current annual is well chosen. Never has a student been more challenged to find time for creativeness and a development of his intellectual and spiritual powers. Equally challenging today is the need to find the time and the means with which to assimi- late one's personality and talents with school and com- munity lifeg and, more important than either of these con- siderations, time is needed to construct a philosophy for living. A true philosophy is creative: it organizes the past and steps over the threshold of the future. ln the words of the sages, Philosophy is the growing edge of creativity. New considerations need to be given to Time To you, the members of the first graduating class to have completed all three years at Woodrow Wilson High School, lpay special tribute. You have taken the time and the effort to perpetuate and strengthen school and class spirit, and you have grown in leadership and achievement. Always, I hope that your 1960-Sl annual will bring back a clear and true reflection of your school life at Woodrow Wilson and that each of you will value it as future students will value the portrait of Woodrow Wilson painted by Mr. William Phillips and presented to the school by the gradu- ating class of 1961. M. PONKO HE advantageous use of one's time constitutes a de cision, or rather, a series of decisions, which all are con- fronted with in very nearly every wakeful hour. These decisions, like so many others, often call for striving to- ward satisfactory completion of short-term goals which will result in long-term gains. These gains, which event- ually yield personal, social, or religious satisfaction, are the products of conviction and sincere effort. Because of your conviction you are graduating. Your readiness for the challenges of your unfolding future is in proportion to the conscientious effort you have given to your educational experience thus far. Whatever your immediate ability may be for meeting the ever-increasing challenges of tomorrow, there will never be a better time than today to make a decision to pursue and capture your potentially rewarding future. Most of you need only to reaffirm, to continue with conscientious effort, your present plans. Others will need to make new plans and new beginnings resolved in a new purpose. One thing is certain, each of you has decided to get a high school diploma. This goal now has been attained, and with your attainment of it comes a readiness to meet your next goals, both educational and vocational. May your ambitions bear the fruit of success and good will.
