e ucafion Nothing happens unless first a dream. -Carl Sandburg Rising out of the mist and hue of a man's sub- conscious thoughts is the first inkling of his dream -a dream which will encompass his life and make him a slave until its final consummation. Education was once a dream in the mind of some man long ago. Slowly, it has evolved until it has, at long last, reached a high pinnacle of attainment. Normandy fits into this pattern-another wave in the sea of dreams. Perhaps this is the wave which will lap on the shore of Great Discovery-Great Ultimate Success-Great Men. The faculty and administration of Normandy l-ligh School are eminently aware that they may be directly influencing the potential leaders of the next generation. Each student, dreaming of his own ambition, appreciates their concern and applies himself to their demands. Education has evolved from an intangible dream to a veritable reality.

Believing in the educational birth! right of every child and the opportunity for him to find his place as a useful citizen, the administrative body con- tinually worked to insure the best in instruction and school facilities. These administrators, Mr. Ward E. Barnes, the Superintendent of Schools, and Mr. Herman C. Bleckschmidt, the Assistant Superintendent, have willingly worked toward better education for each stu- dent, and they have been most attenf tive to the needs of youths of today. edlucafion wad fkeir ' This past year of progress and achievement definitely showed that without careful study and planning by the administration, one of the finest school systems in this part of the coun- try could not have progressed. Th is success was due in part to the know-how and ability of the adminis- tration in keeping the community alert active, and interested in what was hap- pening. They had to be able to recog- nize and handle the needs of individ- uals and to cope with each of these ac- cording to his need as far as possible. They have to be the best professionally trained group obtainable to maintain a balance of cooperation between the community and the school staff. For no achievement or progress could ever be realized without unity of purpose and a willingness to see it through. Clllffl Page Eight Herman C. Bleckschmidt, M.A. Assistant Superintendent of Schools
