-H!! 701 ne Four forces are active in the development of an individual in a democratic society: home, school, gov- ernment, and religion. All proceed toward the same goal, the formation of an active, independent individual who realizes his success and that ot his community rests upon his cooperative efforts to bring about the greatest amount ot good to the greatest number ot people. We are chiefly concerned in our book with activities in the school which help the individualg however, We recognize and appreciate the fact that the inter-relationship of the four in- fluences is of the utmost value.

peafication In our World today of conflicting ideas of government it becomes in- creasingly difficult for young people to retain ideals of democracy. Our cher- ished beliefs have been in the right of an individual to construct his life on his own initiative, observing tolerance and respect foward others in their pur- suit of happiness and security, in his right to religious freedom, to freedom of speech, and the duties these rights enforce upon the individual. Under a democracy youth can lift himself and develop his special talents. Under a dictatorship he has no free- dom to direct his interest but must do by force that which has been pl-anned for him by some commanding individ- ual. To maintain these cherished ideals of American democracy is the sincere hope of this class of 1939 and in this spirit do We dedicate our year book. Puge 3

Since schools are on the same basis as all other life, our board of education, our faculty and our pupils are organized. With the board of education back of them, the faculty do all in their power to help the student. lt is the desire of everyone that each individual pupil develop into a thoughtful citizen. lf the school loses its ideals of democracy, then the nation as a Whole loses them. lt is through the coopera- tive efforts of these four units-com- munity, board, faculty, and students- that the idea of a democracy may be maintained. at Page 5 , 5 Wa
