Your faculty is making every ef- fort to develop a well-rounded cur - riculum which includes extracurricu- lar activities, so that each individual student can exploit and utilize his own interests and aptitudes to the maxi- mum. This is the grand purpose of education--to give the individual every opportunity to fulfill his own potentialities so that he may achieve emotional maturity, intellectual sat- isfaction, and personal happiness. Thus, it is essential that a maxi- mum amount of freedom be made available to both students and teach- ers. But freedom carries with it the burden of responsibility. The mature accept this burden as a sweet yoke for it leads to freedom --that highest dignity of man. John Griffin

‘High School’s Progress The success of any venture lies | in the dedication of those who initi - ate it. So itis with the Beachwood Schools. From the creation of the first public school in Bleachwood Village in the year 1925, which con- sisted of first through sixth grades, to the ultimate completion of Bleach- wood Junior-Senior High School in the 1960's, the administration has dedicated itself to establish a school system whose prospective was pro- jected toward the future of its grad- uating seniors. In this 1963-1964 school year, the cumulative efforts of Dr. Parker, Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Mc- Cullough, Business Manager, the School Board, and the Parents' and Teachers' Association, have pro- vided a firm foundation of guidance P.T.A, mothers hold a beneficial meeting. and direction to lead the students of the community toward full and fruit- ful lives.

Be Yourself—We Need YOU Is it true blondes have more fun? In Beachwocd's Guidance Program we are much concerned with the healthy development of a student's personality in order to enhance his own welfare and that of his society. As a public school in a democracy we tolerate and even encourage the development of a broad spectrum of individual personalities. A corner - stone of democracy is the concern for the dignity and integrity of the individual. As never before, a lack of cour- age, and desire for superficial comfort, ease, and security tempt us not to express ourselves as in- dividuals, thus forsaking th is price - less spiritual and democratic heritage. Nietche's words of a century ago have special meaning for us today. Speaking of individual personality, he said, ''The surest way to corrupt youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.
