Title
1953 Yearbook
Description
"*&^ «f
Historians have a way of wrapping the past in
a sparkling coat of glory that often casts a
dullness on the present. Time, like distance, lends
enchantment and the heroes and heroines of the
history books take on new color with each passing
year. The era itself, of a century ago or longer,
sometimes seems to us to have embraced broader
vistas of opportunity for greatness and fame. But
when we pause to give it thought, we know this
isnt true.

We realize that frontiers aren't limited to wilderness
and prairie and that the garb of the pioneer isn't
limited to buckskin and calico. We realize that in a
hundred different directions lie new worlds to discover, new lands to explore. We realize that these
new worlds and new lands lie hidden in the untrod
depths of modern science, modern business and
industry, and modern government . . . that these
fields offer opportunities just as challenging and
just as rewarding as any wilderness or any prairie.
Then it is that we remark with the great man who
once said, "So little done, so much to do!"
So, equipped with the axe of knowledge and the
powder horn of courage, the youth of today faces
the horizon of the future—prepared to carve a place
in it, determined to "find a way, or make one!"
