Grove City College Good citizenship was the key-note of Miss ,lackson's classes this year. Each pupil was made to realize his responsibilities to his country, and the privileges that were his because he was born in the United States. Miss jackson endeavored to do this through an exten- sive research of the constitution. Nr. XYeichel, in his classes in Ancient, Medieval, and Modern llistory, stressed the importance of the laying of a strong foundation it there is to be growth and development later. This principle is applicable to all things, nations as well as people. Under Miss XVright's instruction, the pupils in sev- enth and eighth grade history found that the past is definitely linked with the present. This link is the stepping stone to the future. lYith this idea, history becomes a vital and living force which makes itself felt in our everyday lite. Miss lflafii, Mr. Perley's capable and competent sec- retary, broadened her held of work this year. ln addi- tion to her numerous secretarial duties. which de- manded much of her time, she conducted an educa- tional research in the elementary school. This was done by giving standardized tests and correlating them. i 1 l 10
