and
It has always been true in America that the
people with ability and a desire to secure a
good education were the most successful
people. These were the men and women who
helped make our country powerful and pros-
perous.
Other countries are now learning that train-
ed minds are necessary if a society is to de-
velop the potential of its people. As a result
of this awakening, the educational systems of
many countries are receiving top priority in
the resources of their governments,
For the past twenty-five years many of the
leaders of our country have not been as con-
cerned about our educational system as they
should have beeng and, as a result, our country
may find itself lagging in the supply of trained
people available to operate our -complex so-
ciety.
Opportunities were never greater for an in-
A Message From . .
telligent American youth. Each of you attend-
ing Eureka High School has an opportunity
beyond your imagination to contribute to your
Cwn welfare and to that of your country. You
have a broad choice of subj:cts: mathematics
are hereg the science curriculum is adequate:
English and the social studies are offered in
abundanceg many vocational subjects are now
available for those desiring themg a good fine
arts curriculum and excellent sports and health
programs are avilable. It is only necessary for
you to have the determination to master what
is offered to you.
It is Encouraging for me to detect a greater
desire on the part of most of you to do a better
job in your school work than you have ever
done. This attitude must prevail in every
American school if we are to stay in the fore-
front of the great countries of the world. May
each of our graduates preserve this desire for
excellence throughout his life.

. . The Administration
The Eureka High School serves a large area
and the students now in school will go into
many different fields of work after graduat-
ing: the professions, business, farming, home-
making, and the trades. The program of Sub-
jects has been set up to meet the needs and
interests of all types of students and also to
meet the needs of the community which we
serve. We now offer vocational agriculture,
vccational homemaking, commercial subjects.
industrial arts, driver education and the tra-
ditional college entrance subjects.
While the first objective of every modern
schcol is that of teaching students the required
subject matter, contemporary life demands so
much more than learning from citizens that
schools are attempting to meet the current
ne-eds. Today's well adjusted people must be
able to get along with those who work with
them and must be able to accept a certain
amount of responsibility. Some are called upon
as leadersg more must be trained to be intel-
ligent followers of these leaders. The fast pace
of modern life demands physical vitality and
mental alertness. With increasingly shorter
working hours, there are many hours of leisure
which must be wisely filled. Such requirements
can not be handled entirely in classroom situ-
ations: therefore, our expanded program of
extra-curricular activities, where students
working as members of a team, a cast, a staff
or a group activity may learn to adjust to the
various people with whom they are very close-
ly associated, may accept the responsibility
such group membership entails, may learn to
lead well, or to follow intelligently, in other
words may become well-rounded personalities.
Congratulations to the seniors who are grad-
uating this yearg I hope your future experi-
ences may be more successful for having spent
these years at Eureka High School.
