The little prince crossed the desert and met with only one flower. It was a flower with three petals, a flower of no account at all.
"Good morning, " said the little prince.
"Good morning," said the flower.
"Where are the men?" the little prince asked, politely.
The flower had once seen a caravan passing.
"Men?" she echoed. "I think there are six or seven of them in existence. I saw them, several years ago. But one never knows where to find them. The wind blows them away. They have no roots, and that makes their life very difficult."
"Goodbye, " said the little prince.
"Goodbye, " said the flower.

A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning
To the Poly Students:
For me, it has been a pleasure and privilege to join you on the south campus this year.
You are a wonderful group of young people, and it is my sincere wish that the experiences and memories of this year will be rich and pleasant for many years to follow.
Willis Stork Headmaster
" Mete and dole unequal laws unto a savage race."
1964 has been a year of growth for Poly. The Upper School student body reached an all-time high for one hundred -eighty, the new Me Williams building added five classrooms, four faculty offices, and two utility rooms, and Poly athletic teams entered competition for the first year in a new league. The Student Council this year has been concerned with stabilizing and maintaining student government and the newly established Honor System during this period of change.
The. active participation of students, both individually and in groups, has been encouraging. Dances and other school-sponsored activities have had record attendances, and Poly has been well represented at the area Youth Council and various student conferences. Many new clubs have been established on campus, and students have freely argued controversial issues, both in the Downbeat and among themselves.
The routine activities of government have been efficiently handled by the students, and interest and enthusiasm have grown along with the school. This is the foremost objective of student government.
Dave G. Clark President of the Student Body
