TAIN ADMINISTRATIVE RESPUNSIBILITIES Because of our unigue political and economic structure, every American is afforded the greatest opportunity mankind has ever known for education, self development, and self fulfillment, Within the framework of this system is the opporf tunity for citizens to develop themselves to their highest levels, through study and assimilation of the best thought of mankind. Every person has the right to a sound, complete education that will enable him to become a responsible, worthwhile citizen and to lead a rich and rewarding personal life. Though the student has this right to an education, he has a correspond- ing obligation to utilize his educational opportunities to a maximum. Every student should have the opportunity to develop skills in arithmetic, reading, and oral and written expression. From his school experiences he should create an appreciation of our democratic heritage and should stimulate growth in factual knowledge, critical thinking, cultural values, ethical stands and social responsibility. Every student should use his skills and knowledge to prepare and progress in endeavors of value to himself and society, lt is our responsibility to define traditional values in terms fitting for our place in our American Society and our countrys new place in the world. We can demonstrate this personal responsibility by studying public issues, supporting good legis- lation and helping to elect good public representatives. We can also demonstrate our responsibility by our choice of personal goals and by what we think, say, and do in our daily lives. If we are responsible in our beliefs concerning freedom, freedom of opportunity and the essential dignity of each indivf idual, and if we practice and protect these ideals in our daily lives, we affirm and birng to life a heritage that belongs equally to all of us, The tomorrow for which we learn and build must be fashf ioned with the full recognition that as individuals we play a small but highly significant role. The results of our single efforts may not be visible to us, but our responsibility is no less great. Enrolled in our classes today are the teachers, decorators, engineers, custodians, doctors, lawyers and laborf ers of the years ahead, lt is hoped that all of us will be aware of and sensitive to the dignity and worth of all kinds of honest endeavors and to help others, when possible, to achieve their fullest potentiality. This is highly important for the welfare of the individual and for the sake of our society, because from the individual moral fiber our national character is woven, EUGENE TONE MF? C 1- ,. - X.
