I'-Sl-uma., Schools of today are playing a greater role than ever before in the lives of our boys and girls, Instead of the traditional 3 R's we now have the 6 R's. In addition to Reading, 'Riting, and 'Rithmetic, which children today learn better than ever before, we now have Responsibilities, Rights, and Relationships. Our school teaches boys and girls the duties of citizenship, how to make a living, and how to get along with others. The faculty, student body, and community must work together in striving to improve our school--which in turn means a better community. This has been the case in our school. The Blountstown Student Body has shown a great desire for the improvement of their school. This is being accomplished through the co-operative efforts of the faculty, student body, and community, Sincerely, E.
