opened *'ide. Looking inward, you find its hallowed and plotcctive wa1ls arc
tilled with memories -- mcmorics rvhich just ycsterclay. it sccms, wcrc
realities. They flash across your mind now in a colorful procession. Your
mindrs eye clearly picfures the loyal friendships the studying the
big dances the little get-togcthers thc victories and the
defe ats .

As these fleeting moments are recorded rvithin this book so the),rvill not
soon be forgott-en. perhaps in [uture ;'cars thcy tvill appcar cxtrcrncl; supcr-
ficial in view of a rcalization of morc importilnt undcrlying toncs. Thc high
schooL, indeed, plays a crucial role in every studentrs life and should not be
taken at face value. At this vital ooint in his li{e a stuclent must make that
fateful decision thar may mold thc rcst of his li[c and havc a powcr[ul in-
fluence on his happiness and well-being in many years to come. His success
in school is probably the most decisive factor and gaugc of success.
Nolv, as a student and in years to come, when you open this book and find
yourself LOOKING WITHIN, may you remember that it is through this very
process that a happy and fruitful life can be formed.

The life of a high school revolves, ostensibly, around the strict

academic life of its students and pushes the frills that adorn its
curriculum into comparative unimportance. But, to almost every
student, a place that occupies so much of his time and effort would
be poor, indeed, if it contributed only the dry, impersonal facts of
classroom material to his knowledge , There is so much to learn in
so short a time. The success of a school and, thus, of its sfudents,
depends upon so many variables, not tJ-re least of which is dedication
capable, interested teachers .

Above all, however, lies the student himself . He, of course,

determines the ultimate success of his educational experience. for
squarely upon his shoulders rests the ability to see the fruition of all he
he has learned. Exposing him to knowledge achieves nothing if he
is not
rs eagel to Iearn
nor eager learn and readrly receptive and if
readily receptrve u hhe does not persevele
and exhibit a steadfast application to a fixed goal:

No great work is ever done in a hurry. To develop a great I

scientific discovery, to paint a great picture, to write an immortal
poem, to become a minister, or a famous general -- to do any-
thing great requires time, patience, and diligence. These things
are done in degrees. lPer:dise Losetr at
desrees. Milton did not write lParadise lr- aa
--sitting, nor did Shakespeare compose I'Hamlet[ in a day. The
greatest writers must begin with the alphabet, the most famous
musiciars once picked out their notes laboriously; a child must
learn to draw a shaight line before he can become a Titian or a
Michelaneelo.
It is with these truths before it that the staff dedicates the 1964
BOONDOCKER to DILIGENCE, hoping that ir will encourage all to
begin cultivating this vutue, through which a true meaning in life
can be realized.

An indispensable asset to Quantico is Miss Jacqueline

Walker, guidance counselor. Her varied duties include
being in charge of the extensive testing program, giving
valuable aid to upperclassmen in the selection of colleges,
procurement of scholarships, and post graduate entploy-
ment.
Miss Walker has a wide array of college catelogues
which are constantly in use. The vocational files help stu-
dents to decide what subjects to pursue in college in order
to prepare themselves for future careers.

feeling they need in order to freely discuss their problems

as Quantico students struggle to becorne bilingual and
to Lnderstand and master the structure of a foreign
Ianguage. They soon find, however, that the study of
language is rnore than mere memorization of vocabulary
and grubbing of grammatical irregularities. With enthu-
siastic teachers to guide hirn, the student begins his
apprenticeship in a new art of thinking, As he progresses
through two, three, even four years, he realizes that
language is, indeed, a challenge to oners thought, a test
of his suppleness and ingenuity. It is an incursion into a
new realm, the beginning of a quest that leads to the
discovery, in prose and poetry, of a new source of aes-
thetic enjoyment. It is a sdlour into a distant and intri-
guing land. And, above all, it is a crossroads where
individuals, and nations, can meet on a common
ground and form lasting friendships.

numbers.
The students in our department ale in three main
groups: those entering college, tJrose going into
