CHALLENGING HORIZONS

The theme for this year's Annual is most appropriate, for youth is a period of ever-widening horizons.

As little children, many of us imagined that the horizon was an impenetrable barrier limiting our activities to the encircling boundary. Some of us can remember the day we set out to reach it. Before we were recovered by our frantic parents, we had gone far enough to learn that the horizon moves ahead as we go toward it; that it is a fixed barrier only to those who remain in one place. There are other horizons that drop their imaginary barrier around us as we strive to make headway in the more or less hectic struggle that we call life. The ways leading to these horizons are not dead-end roads, but go on and on toward horizons that are ever retreating.

The theme, "New Horizons," is particularly suited to the high school year. Seniors leaving school this year are seeking the opportunities that lie ahead. Those remaining in high school for a year or two will not forget the opportunities offered in the future classroom work, and the association with fellow students and teachers. Those are golden years for forming lifetime friendships and for learning in the community life of the school something of the give and take that will be necessary to a successful career later.

We have the satisfaction of knowing that what we seek is attainable. No iron curtain bars the way. But we must make our own new horizons by keeping on the move toward new goals.
