JOHN SCHMIDT Buccaneer Photographer GERHARD BUHLER Principal A few years ago our school adopted a Philosophy of Education which was to set the goal and direction of our educational procedure for the coming years. We were thinking of a school as the best institution yet devised by society for the de- velopment of a well-rounded personality. It was to be open to all on equal terms, and provide with progressive procedure opportunities as varied as the interests of varying individuals. It was to be a democracy Wherein pupils learn to live by living- NVe believed that education is a never ending process of growth for which the school must give direction. Its main purpose was to make the child a well-integrated personality, with high ideals, proper attitudes, a wholesome appreciation of, and an outlook that give meaning to life, a good citizen whose personality will make itself felt in the direction of a better democratic societyf' We are wondering today how well we have succeeded. ln the mids: of a world war, confusion of thought in many life circles, the problem of maintaining' a demo- ciacy faces us as never before. Our young people are wondering what life has in store as new problems meet them. Some face them squarely, and are preparing to meet them with the idea to serve their country and humanity in the best possible way, others give up and shrink before they test their abilities. Let us remember that each new problem and new situation is a challenge to new opportunities, a stepping stone to larger fields of service. If we wish to serve our country now and have a part in the construction of a peace in a democratic society which is to follow, we do not dare to Ulet down and choose the easy way. Let us go forward with our ideals of democracy. The best prepared will be able to serve most. all Out Support of alclminidlrafion
