This Board faces numerous responsibilities. Among many, the largest is to accommodate the parents, faculty and students of this area. It is only through our cooperation that they can make our educational program a successful one. STANDING: Andrews, Domes, Joller, Sondericker, Francis SEATED: Disbrow, Seligman, Mrs. Perl

'FD M . PETER KING, PRINCIPAL You have gone to school and graduated during a time when the activities and methods of teaching in the public schools of our country have been receiving much discussion and some criticism. It is true that our schools have changed in the course of a generation just as other organizations in our life and society have changed. You have been fortunate in attending a school which is rather formal and traditional in operation and has not turned too far up the road marked, nModern.N This school believes that a pupil's experience should be, primarily, one of learning and that teachers are employed and directed to teach the students. The preparation of lessons, regular attendance and good conduct are considered basically sound in the train- ing of every individual. Each of you has progressed under this system. I urge you to recall your school experiences in the years directly ahead and weigh carefully those that were of greatest value to you. What would you change in our system? How would you improve its opportunities? Your answers will help direct plans for the growth and progress of our school system in whatever changes are to be made.
