OFFICIALS GEORGE C. SAUNDERS Principal A.B., University of New Hampshire M.A., Columbia Atomic-powered submarines have not ob- viated the need for the traditional type. Like submarines, the Mold high school will be utilized for another segment of the education- al system. The new high school, designed for a new era, will perform its function in that era with proficiency. Education, the over- all task, will be served well by each in its own way.

So, as We set our sights upon a beautifully modern and capacious new school let's breathe a prayer that the teachers there will mould as wellg for according to Arthur Guiterman, UNO printed word nor spoken plea can teach young hearts what men should be, Not all the books on all the shelves but what the teachers are, themselvesf,
