lllllllillllll History will record that progress in this modern age has paralleled the growth and development of industry. Industrial power and potential have become the backbone of national defense. Its skill, efficiency, and technological improvements have brought forth mass production to the extent thatwise usage of modern conveniences has been possible and a higher standard of living attained. Behind the front line of production lies much scientific study and research. Chemists, physicists, and the many types of engineers, trained in the schools of this country, have used their knowledge and ingenuity to attain new industrial heights. Skilled workmen are needed on the production line and well trained office personnel and executives are needed in the field of management. lndustry is quick to recognize that training on the iob for specific jobs in much more effective when such training is preceded by aback- ground gained in schools on the college and high school levels. Thus, industry has always beena bulwark of strength in support of education. Evidence of this support is abundant within this local community. We are fortunate in having within the school district a concentration of over one hundred industries organized as the Clearing Industrial Association. Not only do they provide a large portion of the necessary financial supportfor the school, but they also lend a strong moral sup- port. Students and graduates have found the accessibility and recep- tiveness of these industries most helpful in securing employment. Active assistance in the educational program has been contributed by certainClearing industries. Studentsand teachers have been received cordially on visits to offices and plants. On one occasion a group of executives spent an afternoon in the school presenting problemsof office management to the classes in the business education department. On another occasion the advanced stenography students had the privilege of spending a day in one of the offices to observe and participate in office procedure. The Board of Education representing the citizens of the school district has appreciated the cooperation and assistance given by officials of the Clearing Industrial District, Inc . in solving site and building problems. ln appreciation of the significant contribution made to the whole educationalprogram, the 'staff and students of Reavis High School are proud to dedicate this edition of the ARIES to they highly respected and outstanding segment of industry, The Clearing Industrial Association. With it goes our pledge to strive toward those high levels of attainment ,wbich have been the essence in making industry the great cog that it is in our modern age.
