The reason we found it necessary to fight a second World War is that we have focused too much attention on the past and havenjt given enough thought to the future. Ami so, as the 'Tfitizens of TUl7L0fl'01,U,M we are rleternzinefi to give greater thought and energy tolvarrl building an Anzerizfa in which there shall be greater happiness than ever before-opportunity for growth and advance- ment-protection of the inalienable rights of men--alui security against enemies.

Uncatwnal SUCCESSFUL farming today requires a higher level of technical and social skills than ever before. The trends toward commercialization of agriculture, farm mechanization, improved methods of crop and fruit production, soil management, and animal and poultry production, require the farmer to have a high level of technical skill, managerial ability and adaptability to im- proved methods. The high school agriculture department provides vocational training for general farming with emphasis on the types of farming found in the local community. Managerial aspects of each farm enterprise are emphasized in the belief that a poorly managed farm business will be a poor business in spite of the best technical information the farmer may possess. A considerable amount of time is spent working in the schoolls farm- mechanics shop so that the young farmer may develop a degree of manual skill in the use of tools and a knowledge of how to make necessary repairs and adjustments on farm machines, and do such construction work as he is likely to find necessary in the ordinary operation of the farm. dnt IT IS HERE that we learn the fundamentals of line, form, space, balance, and other phases of art expressed in many forms. Here we express ourselves through various media. Participation in this field of learning will not make us great artists or craftsmen, rather, we become acquainted with the basic principles of drawing, design and color. We apply these basic principles to practical forms of art such as advertising, interior decorating, costume design and furniture. Using our own ability to design and create pleasing and useful things for the everyday use of other people brings satisfaction and real enjoyment. Students with talent and aptitude for art are discovered, guided and encouraged toward higher education in their field. Others, who enjoy the various fields of art but who do not plan to use it in making a living are encouraged to use it as a leisure time activity. By helping us utilize the aesthetic sense, whether preparing us for a like's work or simply showing us the enjoyment and pleasure derived from a better use of leisure time, Mr. Rogers, through the art department, is helping us build for a better democracy. 30
