What ls a Good High School? The functions of a good high school are to prepare its students for good character, good citizenship, good scholarship, gracious living, economic com- petence, and a spirit of service to others. According to the standards of the North Central Association a good high school must first offer a curriculum which meets the needs and interests of its students. The curriculum of Lanphier not onlyprepares its students for college, but it also prepares those who wish to go to work for the business of lite. The faculty of a North Central high school must meet the highest standards of training and ability. Your Lanphier faculty meets every requirement of the association. , The building and equipment must be among the best. Your Lanphier building is one of the best heated, lighted, and ventilated buildings in this part of the state. The equipment and library are entirely adequate to the needs of the student body. The spirit of the school is one of the most important factors in the rating of a good high school. This good spirit is determined by the cooperation, scholarship, courtesy, patriotism, and altruism of the faculty and student body. The activities program must be adequate to the needs of the students. Lanphier activities include outstanding musical organizations, clubs, athletics, home rooms, school newspaper, yearbook, debate teams, and two plays annually. A school is an organization which is more permanent and more important than any of its present faculty members or students. The alumni of this high school now number over two thousand five hundred, many of whom are successful business men and women and good citizens of their city and of our nation. We are justly proud of these alumni who have helped us to build so securely. In the light of the above discussion how does your school rate? We wish to congratulate Miss Schneiter and the Lan Hi staff for their desire to carry on the Lan Hi tradition in the publishing of this excellent record of the school. Sincerely,
