GRADUATES OF '61
This is graduation time and we take the occasion to salute
and congratulate the many students who will be leaving our
four county high schools and Shepherd College. We who have
passed this milestone owe a degree of tolerance to them just
as the same was shown to us when we left the sheltered aca-
demic life for the more difficult postgraduate days when ex-
perience was forced to take over the role of the class room
teacher. We made mistakes. They will make mistakes. But if
their schooling has been proper they will have been instilleu
with the knowledge that to err is human.
The 1961 graduate emerges into a world that is vastly dif-
ferent in many respects from the world graduates of other
years have faced. Within the past few weeks men have net-
ured into the vast world of outer spaco, and these events can-
not help but change the complexion of our world. But at the
same time we would caution them against believing this is the
only area that holds promise of adventure. Many problems
that confronted us before man climbed into space are still
with us, and they, to 'us, offer a greater and more worthy
challenge than flights to the moon. Man still, after five thous
and years, still lives in fear of his fellow man. No doctor has
yet been able to find an effective cure for cancer. Nothwith-
standing the fact that the earth is perfectly capable of pro-
ducing enough for all its people to eat, no one has yet found
a satisfactory method of finding how to distribute it. If
through their schooling the graduates of '61 can contribute
an ounce of effort towards the solution of these problems
their education will not have been wasted.
