Mr. Judson Erne, Principal Mr. Erne Speaks The most important thought that any youth of today can have is this: I am an American. Our way of life — our democracy, gives to youth the right to choose their field of endeavor — the right to sell their good s whether in a large department store or from a pretzel stand on a street corner; the right to own wealth according to their ability to earn; the right to spend these earnings as they desire — for a comfortable home, a streamlined car, a vacation, or a bottle of soda pop. America offers freedom of opportunity for all to have an education. Nowhere is there a country greater than our country: a people more energetic, creative, progressive, or bigger hearted than our people. You represent American youth — the past presents a challenge to you — to keep our country strong and to build for a greater tomorrow. Air. C. G. Addleman, Vice-principal Mr. J. O. Kelly, Vice-principal

The Superintendent Writes As a newcomer to the schools of Columbus, this has been a year of considerable orientation and adjustment, as well as one of much action in several areas. In curriculum matters, implementation of the Lan- guage Arts guide, developed during last school year, was of prime importance. The need for a similar type of evaluation in the social studies field was recognized and immediate steps were taken to initiate such a study. A new approach to the teaching of modern foreign languages was examined and accepted to get underway with the opening of the 1959-60 school year. With the opening of school last September, the need for a stepped-up program of building construction be- came apparent. Top priority was given to a seven room addition to the Senior High School. Future building plans for the Senior High School include the construction of a vocational wing and auditorium and completion of the Senior High central wing begun this year. Dr. Clarer.ce Rabbins. Supt. of Schools elementary school are the school board members. Mr. Harold Wand; Mr. Clayton Huntington; Dr. W. I. Wissman; e Robbtns, Supt.; Mrs. Clarence Hamilton; and Mr. Claude Thompson.

Deans Help Students Our dean of boys and dean of girls have many re- sponsibilities and are kept very busy. They are re- sponsible for all student discipline with the aid of the faculty members. They are also responsible for the attendance of the students and the problems which might arise. Besides being in charge at all the school dances, outings, and other social activities, the deans assign chaperons for such school functions. The deans also help many individual students with both school and personal problems. Many permits were issued each day in regard to attendance, tardiness, leaving school, and driving cars.
