l tlll lllll llllllllwli N ll X W X XX Q ll ll ll ' ' L I , , AIMS OF EDUCATION Education is as old as civilization itself. Long before the evolution of the school as we know it today, parents taught their children in ways of life and getting a living. The history of education is long and varied. The Orientals' aim was to preserve their civilization. The Greeks believed in a well rounded education of body, mind and spirit. Education of the middle ages was classical, practical and Christian. The transition from medi- eval to modern times was characterized by a shift of emphasis from religious to secular, from theology to science. Education is now regarded as a civic necessity, thus we find that states and nations have developed systems of free public education. Each individual local school system is under the supervision of a Board of School Directors, whose functions include the general jurisdiction over the schools, establishment of a program of activities, supervision of the finances, purchasing supplies and the program of studies. To our local Board of School Directors we extend our thanks for providing a well rounded curricula of studies as well as an extensive program of activities which we feel have helped to fit us better for the life ahead.

,fl ApPREc During the four years a class is in a high school it has many sponsors. Their objective is to advise, counsel and guide the class in its many projects or activities with two major purposes in mind-to make each activity successful in itself and to build up the treasury in anticipation of the largest and most important project of all-publica- tion of our Shingas. Therefore, at this point, we, the class of l946, pause to express our sincere thanks to Mrs. Niedergal, Mrs. Simmons, Mr. Mowery, Miss McKinley and Mrs. May, the sponsors of our first three years for their wise counsel and sound advice in guiding us successfully through those years. To Mrs. May, again, as one of our Senior sponsors, we respect your guidance in the P-nut brittle sales campaign and the IATION selection of our Commencement Announce- ments. To Mrs. Cummins, we acknowledge your efforts in keeping our class stimulated with suggestions, counsel, and ideas in our class activities from the Hallowe'en party through the casting, directing and produc- ing a class play to which we can point with a great deal of pride. To Mr. Paterick, our Shingas Adviser, we recognize your friendly advice, sound judgment and unlimited patience in super- vising our efforts in making our Shingas a success. For all these many encouragements we can scarcely find words to express ade- quately our appreciation and gratitude, but as we say goodbye we want you to know that our thanks are really sincere. -3-.
