The Reflector staff has chosen the broad but important term Goals as the theme for the 1952-53 yearbook. In a world which at times appears to have lost all sense of direction and yearning for definite attainment, we are particularly aware of the importance of set- ting our hearts, our minds, our very lives on a course leading to some goal. Just as a ship without chart or destination may founder at sea or enter upon rocky shoals, so do we realize that young lives must be steered to- ward the uplifting experience of successful achievement. A goal is necessary, for without it aimless wandering shall ensue. The goals of our whole educational system are many, varied, and often intangible, but, in general, they are aimed toward guiding and preparing each student to live a richer, fuller life. Our faculty coaxes, points, and guides the eager student through four busy and cheerful years at Ferndale, inspiring in each some different desire or determination. In this book we shall endeavor to set forth the goals of each division of our school program, showing the goal of the board of education as it plans toward a broad- er program, the administration as it seeks smoothness, efficiency, and harmony, the fac- ulty as it aims toward molding character and dispensing knowledge and understanding. We shall point out the goals of scholarship, teach- ing our pupils to appreciate life at its fullest through knowledge acquired in our classes and the academic program of the school. We shall show the goals of our activities and or- ganizational programs, and the efforts made to inspire careers and hobbies of value to the stu- dents. In our athletic section we want to ex- plain that our teams seek to win, but that the main goal must always be to do the best one can and to accept the result with grace and sportsmanship. As we seek to develop the skills, the minds, the special talents, the physi- cal well being, and the attitudes of our people, the readers of this issue of the Reflector should grasp the utmost significance attached to the Goal of education in our high school.
