Superintendent’s Message To The Student Body: If I were a high school student I should endeavor to do a few things of importance thoroughly. First: I should take ad- vantage of the opportunities offered in the field of physi- cal training and athletics to such an extent as would fit me physically for healthy liv- ing, hard work and endur- ance, for without a healthy, active body one is handicap- ped throughout life. Second: I should endeavor to be known by and to know intimately the outstanding and worthy members of the student body; their friendship would be cultivated; then I should like to know all the others as well as possible. Friendships formed during high school and college years are the most enduring and valuable. Third: Another most valuable aim would be to gain as intimate and thorough knowledge as possible of the English language, its history, structure, its artistic features. The ability to read and write the English language correctly is no mean accomplishment; the ability to speak it before an audience with accuracy and force makes one a master of men. MR. W. J. AVERY Superintendent of Schools PnniHps Parish Fourth: It would be my aim to know well one foreign language; I should want to be able to read, write and speak it. Fifth: I should learn enough of mathematics, science, history and art to aid materially in my choice of a college course and my occupation or profession. Sixth: Along with these other accomplishments, and not the least of them, I should want to learn to do my own thinking, making full use of all assistance offered by teachers, texts and equipment. W. J. AVERY.
