Continual effort is being made to provide the student with a better curriculum by improved meth- ods of instruction with the end result a more compre hensive education. ln a sense the board is the cus- todian of the schoo1's welfareg everything which involves the school or its students directly must be discussed and approved by the board. The board is responsible for the advancement 2 N ew M embers ofthe schools. The most judicious citizens ofthe community should be selected to serve on the board lt forms an embedded organization which is closer to the people than any other kind of organizationg it speaks the opinions and desires of the parents and childreng it spends the local taxpayer's moneyg it provides all children with better educational oppor- tunities so that they may become better citizens of tomorrow.

The past is recollection. The present is actual experience. But of the future we say, "Who really knows?" Certain truths can guide us. We know all too well the ingredients of man-made friction both in the world at large and in the narrow confines of our home communities. We know the factors that bring discord. We are aware of a duty to find ways to re- move the influences that keep us in conflict with one another. We are not lacking in knowledge of things to do to make a better world, but we do lack the will power to do them. We look admiringly at our new inventions. We constantly seek mechanical devices to get more en- joyment out of life, but we have never invented a better formula for human behavior than the Sermon on the Mount. LAWRENCE J. GHAN Superintendent of Strafford Public Schools Degrees: B.S. , M.A. , A.A. zo years at Strafford The foundations of understanding between men were established long ago. Man has accumulated e- nough knowledge of the necessary principles of law and order to build a free society. Faith and conviction based on everyday experience is the moral philosophy that guides our lives. We do know the future in terms of our experiences The real question is whether we are willing to meet the test - will we let greed and selfishness reign when we know there must be generosity and unselfishness, will we be brave and resolute when we find it easier to be craven and cowardly, will we extend a hand of friendship and with love open our hearts to other human beings? These are the obligations of our inner conscience. Human knowledge does ITOI perish. It lives on under the inspiration of Divine Providence. Each moment of our life reminds us of what truth really is. With faith in His Wisdom we can face the challenges of the future, courageous and unafraid.

Broadcast Makes Forwara' Changes The BROADCAST staff was concerned with perfect copy in each edition of the paper. Copy was read first by the editor, then checked by Miss Ross for gra matical errors, and read by Mrs. Stombaugh for pro- per leads and information. The January edition of the BROADCAST was dedicated to Dr. Ralph H. Focht, who had practiced medicine in the Strafford commun- ity for the past forty years. An artlcle on the medical career of Dr. Focht was the featured news item. A major change in the school newspaper this year was the addition of two ext:ra pages. Interest- ing news items were stressed and complete coverage of the community activities, in addition to school activities, was the goal of the entire paper staff. Many news pictures in the paper have furnished an interesting diversion from the usual columns of copy. Stenciled headlines were featured and action verbs were emphasized.
