VVVVVVY VYYYYYY EQUA ITY F 4 ,fgr- -rl Joe Doakes has a big day ahead of him tomorrow. He has a lot of building to do, alot of arguing and planning and sweat- ing-a lot of plain hard work. Joe's in for a tough struggle. But he has what it takes, Joe has-the dreams, the cour- age, the ingenuity with which to build, the four cornerstones of freedom, equality, intelligence, and faith on which to lay the foundations of his work, the fighting heart and honest desire to see it through, l-le won't ride a white charger, or brandish a sharp, shining swordvyno, Joe will walk in old, scuffed shoes, and he'll be smiling. When the going gets tough, when his feet hurt and his bones are tired, Joe's going to straighten up a bit. ,-

A. C. HAMPTQN Keeping a school system the size of Astoria's running on an even keel during a period when Win the War and Win the Peace plans are gripping the hearts of the people is no mean job. lt has been Superintendent l-lampton's policy to keep an active look-out to determine the relation of public education to the present world pattern. He has encouraged an intelligent and purposeful emphasis on and an introduction of those acti- vities that teach, not for the present only but for the future as well, those ideals, kinds of information, and skills necessary to maintain and promote a democracy for which our erstwhile students are fighting, and in many cases are paying the sup- reme price. ln addition to his school duties, Superintendent Hampton has been very active in the various civic organizations, ever ready to do his part toward promoting any endeavor which has for its purpose the welfare of Astoria's boys and girls, as well as her adults, in this complex period.
