R. J. GREEN Superintendent Our children are the principal natural resources of the nation. Education is the processing of that rich resource to produce good citizens, mature in their judgments and stable in their emotions. The greatest investment this country ever made is the investment in its public school program. All the human virtues we prize, all the goals toward which we work, depend upon education. We can expect to have good schools pro- viding an education of the kind our young people are entitled to in about the same ratio as the attention we give them. Our public schools are the cement of our common heritage. No other sure foundation can be devised for the preservation of freedom and happiness. I H. .

The recent reorganization program of the Greenfield community school is symbolic of the citizens desire to invest in progress for more and better education through cooperative enterprise.

L+-ii FACULTY LIVES PRCJVED FASCINATING lmlfri Superintendent Green is right at home in the industrial arts shop Varied interests occupy the spare mo- ments of GHS's administrative staff and coach. Each spring finds Superintendent Green getting his boat repaired and fishing gear assembled for a Minnesota jaunt.
