R. E. McCormack, Superintendent Superintendent’s Message A successful voyage of life requires preparation, performance, and accomplishment. The preparation will in a large measure determine the seaworthiness of the ship used for the journey. Performance takes one to a destination. Arrival in port, a chosen goal, is accomplishment. The one who stints on preparation will likely hove an unseaworthy vessel; the unskillful navigator does not journey efficiently and may even meet with shipwreck. Our goals, the ports we enter, should be carefully chosen. They should be those that challenge our every ability; that take us as far as we should aspire to go; that enable us to reach full stature in service to mankind. The poet, Millay, has written: The world stands out on either side No wiser than the heart is wise; Above the world is stretched the sky No higher than the soul is high.” The personnel of our school board has remained unchanged for three years. These men know Albany and understand its needs. They are interested in the education of Albany youth and earnestly desire thot the plant and the program be as satisfactory and serviceable as con be provided. They give willingly of their time to serve the community and assume final responsibility for an efficient and proper administration of the schools. Our schools are a testimony to the fulfillment of their obligation as board members. THE SCHOOL BOARD O. P. Romaine D. E. Nebergall A. G. Senders C. E. Spence V. L. Calavan D. H.
