PAGE 12 19 THE COMET BOARD OF EDUCATION It is on the sound education of the people that the security and destiny of the nation chieftly rests. No beginner would be given the job of piloting a steamer through the numerous snags, shoals, bars, and bends which are con- stant menaces to every voyage of the boat. That job is reserved for an individual of much experience in sailing the river. Whoever holds that position knows every change of course that the river takes. He knows how to meet every emergency which the treacherous river can devise to destroy the craft that ply it, and the lives which are trusted to the protection provided by those fioating structures. The river of life has trained men in our community Who are able, by their experience, to aid the youth of the country to meet and withstand the traps and snags that the inexperienced would be sure to strike, were they not guided to the calmer regions by those of experience. To the Board of Education which has selected and directed the policy of Blairstown High School, we owe our sincere thanks. Their wise course has made possible even greater achievements in many lines of endeavor during the '37-'38 school year. . . . . President, six years . Vice President, seven years H. C. Whitaker . .
