FOREWORD Berlin Local School is striving to provide an educational program which will meet the needs of its students. This program is ever-changing, a: the world in which our students live is ever-changing. However, certain basic elements are present in education as there have been ii. the past; as they will need to be in the future. Some of these for us to learn are to strivr to do better; to make the most of educational opportunities offered; to live understanding with others; to be proud of achievements; to face disappointments with a resolute resolve to overcome such circumstances; and to prepare ourselves for worthy citizenship. To accomplish the above, t ere must be close cooperation with the home, school, and the community. The home is most important as it is there that the child gets his early training, the establishment of his habitswhich will determine what he does with his life. In the home the child learns that there is a feeling of being loved and being cared for, of knowing that there is a definite place 1 'r him in our society. oe school offers a more formalized type of education. Here, subject matter 1' —red, basic skills taught that will lead to the vocation or avocation the student will follow. School days are formative days which determine the social attributes the student will carry with him. The community is a composite of home, church, and school. It establishes the customs and pattern of living. In the final analysis the community controls the type of education received by the youth. Our .ocal community is fortunate that the majority of citizens are forward looking, education-minded people. With such beliefs fostered by our community, we are determined that Berlin Local School be second to none in the oppor- tunities offered for the education of the children entrusted to us.
