One widely held pedagogical concept is that education is life-life which is at once material, intellectual, social. esthetic, and spiritual. None of these aspects may be viewed in isolation from the others, yet each has its unique contribution to make to successful living. The vitality of a family, school, nation, or any other social unit depends somewhat upon its ability to maintain a mutually strengthening balance between these life values. The pages of the ALLEGEWI are mirrors which reflect these beliefs. They portray varied activities. These are fountains of strength upon which pupils may draw in fulfilling their purpose of establishing personal value scales. Many warm flames of worthy and useful living have sprung forth among the lights and shadows mirrored in ALLEGEWPS. This is the light which illuminates the name of our revered ALLEGANY, and we believe it will become brighter and brighter with this and succeeding years. We congratulate graduating seniors who have taken steps at ALLECANY toward worthy life goals, and we wish them good fortune in their further quests. Przncz RAYMOND o.

Their vitality maintains his strength in establishing personal values. The warm flames of worthy and useful living spring from this little family and burn bright- ly to inspire all readers of this yearbook. May the three of them. our first family at ALLE- CANY. together take steps toward their worthy life goals.
