It’s the Little Extras That Count The major purpose of any school is to prepare students for their place in society. In our high school, we have a group of educators specifically trained to guide us in our duties as useful citizens in the school, in the community, and in the nation. Reading is a basic in education. It allows us to expand our knowledge of society. The library supplies us with the necessary materials, w'hile the guidance department, in turn, aids us in interpreting the information to fit our pattern of living. Another basic of education is the co-ordination of mind and body. The school nurse is on hand to help insure a healthy body by updating the health records of each student with annual testing. Another test of the co-ordination of mind and body is the one staged on the highways of our community. To enable us to meet this test, the services of the drivers’ education department are available to anyone desiring them. MR. HARRY E. AYER—B.S. Buckncll University, MS.

A Healthy Body Encourages Good Thinking To participate in many of the modern world’s careers, people must not only be mentally fit, but also physically fit. Our physical education teachers try to increase our fitness through a series of exercises. We also participate in various competitive sports. The primary goal of our physical education department is to help the students to become physically alert and physically fit. People must also be aware of how their bodies will react to strenuous physical activities. Our health department offers us a fundamental course in general health. Included in our studies are causes, symptoms, and effects of most serious illnesses. We are also instructed in basic emergency first aid. Physical development as well as mental development is the main objective of secondary education. MR. KENNETH OAKES—B.S. East Stroudsburg State College; Health, Physical Education; J.V.
