THE THREE PHASES OF SOUND LIVING HERITAGE A major promise of our dem- ocracy is that the survival of this type of government is directly re- lated to the education of it: citizens. Today, other nations are sacrincing the education of their youth for personal gain. but America still per- sists in giving all an equal oppor- tunity for personal growth. VISION The glory of our democracy is its faith in the future. From the days of the hardy pioneers to the present world conflict the youth of America have shown their conhdence and ability to cope with the future. Many nations. steeped in tradition, glory only in the past: but we know the future is ours to determine, ACTION Only by taking a vigorous part in the many activities of school life. can an individual reach an optinum development. Through team play. and group participation. students gain experience in co-operation and leadership. Witlu this experience. they have ammunition for the future.

eapailerq ' XVARREN HOLLENBACK Ben Avon Principal ROBERT M, Booos Emstuorth Principal OLIVER R. FLOYD Supervising Principal DOROTHY GETTY Secretary This year more than ever before, due to the war and the many changes which the war has brought on, the need of a sound and helpful administra- tion was urgent. The faculty and student body had felt the inroads made on them by the war. and it was therefore necessary to replace the vacancies in the faculty with capable instructors, and also to present an interesting and sound curriculum to the students. The administration proved that it was equal to the task. The new teachers proved quite adequate. and a curriculum was planned which was quite satisfactory to all of the students. Not only were the educational activities planned and carried out to satisfac- tion. but the administration approved the idea of carrying on a regular series of chapel programs, a series which proved highly interesting and enjoyable to students and teachers alike. Dr. Floyd, Mr. Hollenback, and Mr, Boggs proved once again that they were very reliable leaders. They were always eager and responsive to the needs of the faculty and students. They were especially helpful in advising the pupils Of this year's graduating class as to their part in the war effort, and adjusting the underclassmen to the courses of study which would prove most helpful in the war effort after they have graduated. Mrs. Getty was again on hand as a friend and willing helper. We of the Avonworth Student Body may consider ourselves extremely fortunate to be directed by such capable administrators. ,I '--' .AGL r ef ,:A2- ff -2-l ' l i ' 5? id K ,, ,O 5.73931 T K Q ...La -.4 l A it 12 ' 5
