High school students need en-
enlargement to develop fully in
academic, emotional and social
growth.
Teen-agers appear to have
some truly difficult problems Of
adjustment. Even though teen
ayers think they are adults
and fight to be treated as such,
they still are in need of guild
uance. A parents method Of
working with children must
change during the teen years.
Accidentally, high school stu
dents have major decisions tc
make. For some, high school
will be the end Of their formal
education. They should be sure
to acquire the kinds Of Skills
which will help them in their
vocation. For those who intend
to go on to college, it is neceS.

War Splits Union
There was another reaSon-a
political reason why this
link Of rails was SO important
a century ago. The Civil War
had split the Union, and this
physical connection to the Far
West with railroad tracks, was
considered pSychologically vital.
Already, the Central Pacific
Railroad had begun pushing its
tracks eastward from Sacra-
mento into the face of the tow
ering Sierra Mountains. Nav
10, 1869, on the barren dome of
Promontory Hill in Utah, the
Union Pacific and the Central
Pacific would join their tracks
with the driving Of the cele-
brated golden spike.
But on the second Of Deem
Der in 1868 this was all a dream
which might, just might, be-
come a reality.
