THE DOC PRESCRIBES --- PRINCIPAL GEORGE SMITHPETER My patient's alive and bound to survive Regardless of what | suggest; But if he's to excell, he must learn to sell Himself to life's very best. Hence my prescription is really description Of functions you all know so well; ( Such as vitamin pills made of classroom skills With a mixture of learning to spell. Take a dram of refraining for good moral training To enjoy a full helpful life, And a capsule of fun to help things run And add some zest to the strife Inhale freedom's air and never despair; On the stage of life play your best role. Develop your yearning for selected learning And keep playing the game for your goal.

» DIAGNOSIS: SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS: EARLE B. POWELL BE OF GOOD SPIRIT It is truly fitting that our school should be compared to the human structure—for just as the body, mind, and spirit are integral parts of the individual, so are they all essen- tial to make life at Banning High complete. If a diagnosis were to be made of the body, or physical plant, of our school, it might be found to have “growing pains’ result- ing from the fact that the flesh has out- grown the frame. However, if the mind is strong enough, the ailments of the body need not be too great a handicap. Shakes- peare once said, ‘ ‘Tis the mind that makes the body rich.” Faculty specialists are available to diagnose and give proper exercise and training to the mind, but only the massed student per- sonality can determine what kind of spirit the body is to have. So remember well that a GOOD SPIRIT is necessary for happiness and success, whether applied to the individ- ual or to this larger student body. Earle B. Powell SCHOOL BOARD: Mrs. Esther McClean, Mr. Tom Pierce, Mr. C. O. Barker, Mr. James Whigham, Mr. Robert H. Blee.
