It 0 A IS II OF FIII (' 1TIII looking across the valley from Olive Street we see an impressive red brick building, Bolivar Central School. And high on a neighboring hill we see an oil tank. These are the symbols of life , of future America. The oil tank is a goal, work, prosperity, happiness. The school represents the hopes and dreams of all generations. As we descend the hill and approach the wide front doors, we notice, high above the entrance these words: “The foundation of every nation is the education of its youth.” We travel down the long corridors past each classroom, where children are learning life’s fundamentals. Past print shop, agricultural and physical education, home economics, shop and art, past science, mathematics, and languages. We ask directions of the friendly teachers we meet in the hall. At last we reach our destination; above the door are these words, “Board of Education.” There must be a hand to every rudder—a captain at every helm. Such is the Board of Education. They make and see to the enforcing of laws. They choose the faculty and stall. They place within our grasp all sources for knowledge that it is in their power to secure. They made possible our school building rated one of the finest in the state, and the ! eautiful grounds, athletic held which are famous for miles around. The curriculum, from which we have to choose would be excellent in a school much larger than ours. They inspire us by placing their hope and faith in us. They believe in us us a rising generation of future Americans. They will not regret their trust. Mr. A. L. Shaner Mr. Clair Rigby Miss Mary McDermott Mr. L. A. Champlin 6
