Adminisiralors Keep Our School ysiem on Even Kee Grandson Tod Alvin perches cheerily on Principal Alvin Felts' knee and carries the burden of the conversation in the family circle. Mr. Felts taught a math class this year. Many aims or objectives of educa- tion have been set forth, but all can be encompassed by these two broad aims: learning how to make a living, and learning how to live. The experiences you have had in high school have, no doubt, yielded some knowledge and skills that will materially aid in acquiring vocational competence. But it is equally impor- tant that you carry away with you the attitudes, appreciations, and under- standings that are basic to those moral and spiritual values that will enable you to live a richer and nobler life founded on a code of ethics that will contribute to the improvement of society. Thus Principal Alvin Felts sums up, in a statement to the Seniors, the edu- cational philosophy that has guided his efforts throughout thirty-one years in the Canton school system.

IOARD OF EDUCATION Representing Varied points of view, embers of our Board of Education in- ude two businessmen, a professional an, and two farmers. With such a 'oss-section of public thought it is to 2 expected that their influence at the :lm of our school system would truly lflect the thinking of the community a whole. Their interest in our schools stems fimarily from a desire for a solid edu- :tional foundation for their own, and onsequently for the other children df the district.

0 4 Our job as educators is to feed those who hunger and thirst for knowledge. Up through the ranks! Our new Superintendent is well acquainted with the Canton schools. After graduating from Canton High in 1928, he attended Illinois State Normal University, then returned to Canton to teach. He was principal of Canton Junior High for more than twenty-two years. Meanwhile, Mrs. Moneta Morgan has long wanted to concentrate more on homemaking. After more than twenty- four years riding herd on the records in the Superintendent's office, she has in- formed us that this year will close her public career . . . she will henceforth specialize in ham and eggs, dusting the what-not, and making beds. We re- gretfully acknowledge her right to do this. The Harold Swartzbaughs are a happy crew. Superintendent Swartzbaugh has always stressed the point that teaching is a pleasant occupation. Joan is a ninth grader. SUPERINTENDENT Mrs. Moneta Morgan Secretary to the Superintendent Mrs. Catherine Robertson Secretary to the Superintendent This page sponsored by: DR. E. SALAMONE and R. E.
