Student Council President Charlie Browne mokes a few appropriate remarks during the official presentation of flags to homerooms. Much of the prestige which a school acquires is determined to a considerable measure by the students themselves. United and working corporately for the betterment of the school, they form a basic strength within the educational system. In this respect a parallel may be drawn between the trunk of a tree and the students. Without them school becomes a meaningless void, possessing no lackadaisical classroom atmosphere, no echoes of victory from Stone Staduim, and no thunderous applause from the auditorium. However, equally notable is the academic endow- ment bestowed upon students by the school. With emphasis being centered more and more upon occupational specialization, she must invariably progress with modern educational trends in order to make available to her students the edification necessary for future vocational proficiency. Lunch period offers forty minutes of welcome relief from classes.

Like branches diverging from the main body of a tree and leaves outspreading from them, activities broaden the social interests of the student and enrich the curriculum of school. The many and diverse opportunities for participation af- forded by this program offer the individual something extra, thereby encouraging him to go beyond that which is required. Accepting the challenge of interscholastic athletic competition, rehearsing hour after hour in order to perfect technique before performance night, serving the school and community in a beneficial club-sponsored project, or taking part in any of the vari- ous other extracurricular activities devel- ops a sense of pride in personal accom- plishment and produces the satisfaction of a job well-done. Perceiving the value of cooperation in such activities, the student works in conjunction with fellow students and teachers, and by doing so better understands himself as well as others; thus he establishes more meaningful relation- ships from which emanates a more unified school.
