«C Af4f When students plan for the future, they should look forward ten, fifteen, or twenty years from now. They should plan for both the present and the future. Before they set their goals, they should ask the following questions: 1. What do I want to do? 2. What am I capable of doing? 3. Will I be happy in my chosen field of endeavor? 4. Will I be willing to meet the educational re- quirements which are necessary for success? 5. Will I contribute something to my community, state, and nation? 6. Will my work or profession be accepted in the community as something worthwhile? 7. Will I be able to plan for an income during the years when I am too old to work ? Best wishes for the future, J. B. Johnson, Ed.D. Superintendent of Schools Alton Community Unit School District No. 11 3

MR. E. M. LEAMON, Assistant Superintendent To anyone seeking a good education, learning for the sake of learning, joy in the discovery of something new, and the ability to separate the important from the unimportant are goals to be reached. These goals are attained only by someone who applies his greatest effort and ability to whatever he wishes to attain, losing sight never of the qualities of tolerance and regard for the rights of others.” MR. MACY PRUITT, Administrative Assistant in charge of Junior and Senior High School Curriculum. Two thousand years ago the Great Teacher taught a parable about the use of talents. He said that unused talents decrease, while used talents increase. The lesson is as timely today as when it was given. The most tragic waste in our nation results from ' underperforming.’ We owe our best to our school, our parents, and, most of all, to ourselves.” MR. C. R. WRIGHT, Administrative Assistant in charge of Vocational Education. We in vocational education find ourselves confronted with a chang- ing public image which demands study and change in concepts of all educational needs.” In our present society an individual finds it necessary to become educated and develop a marketable skill that will be of use in pro- curing gainful employment.”
