Crowthcr a l D' '- ' ' - ' ' ' ' nt 1. lNclson Mowls was chosen Superintendent of Schools succeeding Dr. Il. NV. Traister. These two men have done wonders in their new olHces and we. the class ol 47 , wish them all the luck in the world in guiding our alma mater through the following years. NVe also saw some new faces this year in our teaching staff. These teachers soon caught the feeling of the kind of school life we have in C. C. H. S. and ioined right in with our old stand-hys in waving the hickory stickv at the little angels of our dear old school. We wish to thank our teachers for all they have done for us the past years, and know we will look back in the future and he grateful for this. The Pine Knot --- 7 a

Goals for th New Da Your supe1'intendent is grateful to the Pine Knot Staff and the faculty sponsor for this priv- ilege of presenting a few new goals for Grove City High School. In keeping with your chosen theme, The Circusu. the following goals may be considered new rings in your menagerie. As your school aims to meet the needs of the new day, greater stress should be placed on cer- tain subjects and courses. Because of the vital importance of these courses, many more juniors and seniors should elect French, Spanish, trigonometry, solid geom- etry, and advanced algebra. . Since it is of paramount importance to foster the highest type of citizenship during the high school experience, all senior students should com- plete at least one unit of p1'oblems of democracy. Mrs. Betty Hummel The Pinc Knot- Dr. J. Nelson Mowls Superintendent In order to comply with the requirements of the State Department, all ninth grade pupils should enroll for at least one period of art and one period of music each week. Because of the immeasurable vocational im- portance of these subjects, courses in junior busi- ness training, clothing, automobile mechanics, and vocational agriculture should be offered. To develop strong bodies and to improve the general health of the students, greater stress should be placed on dental service, physical edu- cation, and health instruction. To reach this goal. new lockers and other essential equipment must be provided'. In this connection. greater respect forvschool property should be fostered. In order to encourage the fine arts and to prepare the students to become socially efficient, greater stress should be placed on debate, foren- sic, and music contests. To place the proper emphasis on characte1', scholarship, leadership, and se1'vice, a local chap- ter of the National Honor Society should be es- tablished. Finally, in order that the graduates may re- ceive the proper recognition by the colleges of the land, Crove City High School should be placed on the accredited list of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondarv Schools. If these 'Knew rings can be added to The Circusn, the students of this school will be pre- pared to live more abundant lives. I. Nelson Mowls 8 Ar
