We deeply appre- . cate the work he has done in his years of service in our u reiools, X.: To the Class of 1940: It is with the greatest interest that I have Watched your progress through school. From the time when you brought apples to your grade school teachers till I signed your diplomas, I have watched for evidence of mental, social, and spiritual growth. There is much controversy today about what public education should accomplish. We expect that our graduates shall show a knowledge of skills necessary in life - figuring, reading, writing, and the handling of ordinary tools. We also hope that they will be conscientious, trustworthy members of society, understanding the problems of the democracy in which we live. We hope they will have a creative ability to contribute something of their own to the world today. When I view this graduating class, I feel that our school has not failed. Time alone will tell how Well we have done cur work. But today is fnr all of us a day of promise -that you will show by your future achievement that the influence of Bryan High School has been good. A. R. WHITE. 'XJ Miss Culbertson, better known to the students as Marnie, is the secretary in Mr. White's office. She attends to the re- ports, the correspondence, and the blue slips.

EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITY-Adviser of Stu- Qf A look backward over the years is valuable only insofar as it provides a perspective of the present situation and suggests the way to future progress. It is with this idea in mind that the community of Bryan can look at the high school as it is now, compare it with what it was several years ago, and work toward what they wish it to be in the fu- ture. The home economics department, the vocational arts department, the department for the sciences, and the 119W junior high school in the new building, and the new agricul- ture department in the old building indicate a great stride forward in the Bryan schools. We are pleased to know that these departments rank with the best in the state of Ohio, but their true values are to be realized through the results of the work carried on in these various courses. The educational values of the shop department will be realized for years to come. Twenty years from now Will, no daubt, find many of the present shop students working in their own shops at home: thus Bryan public school education will have con- tributed toward two of the major goals of education, viz. enrichment of adult life and pre- paring for constructive use of leisure time. Many boys will go into shops in order to earn their livelihoods and again the Bryan publi: schools will have contributed to an ultimate goal of education-vocational training. dent Council. A pleasant and adequate environment is conducive to better results. The people of the community are and should be proud of these improvements made and the students, faculty, and townspeople should be grateful to the members of the board of education for their foresight, interest, and efforts in planning these fine educational facilities for the youth of the community. -RUFUS SCALES. cf Flossie Burkhart and Ruth DeGroff act as secretaries to Mr. Scales and are in charge of the office when he is absent. From the secretarial ability they have shown this year, they will go far in the business World. AAA
