A Message from Uur Superintendent THE WORLD OF LEARNING G The World of Learning has two groups of people, RECEIVERS and IVERS. RECEIVERS pour into their minds facts, culture and ideas. They absorb knowledge with minds that are similar to unplayed phonograph records. They become static store-houses. GIVERS have minds that serve as channels through which ideas are transmitted to others. They too have read and leorned what others have done - - but, more significantly, they have thoughts and ideas of their own, and have carried them into action. They live creatively, RECEIVERS do the routine work and follow the well-worn grooves of living. They are the listeners, the watchers, and readers of lite. GIVERS build the bridges and create the jobs, scour cancer and polio, and send the Minuteman and Polaris from the launching pad. Class of l96l -- whether GIVERS or RECEIVERS -- Board and Staff wish you well. Sheldon E. Guile, Superintendent
