To be fully effective the school's program must be continuously controlled by three important considerations: Cai pupil-community needs and resources as indicated by systematic studles of theseg tbl the aspects of living with which the people, to Whom the schools belong, desire systematic instruction and guidance, and ici the character of the educational experiences already pro- vided by home, church, and community. Each of these aspects of the social situation of which the school is a part places definite restrictions upon the school's program and indicates important responsibilities. To develop CI truly effective program those responsible for the program will need to thor- oughly familiarize themselves with these important aspects of the situation and be guided accordingly. Many classifications of pupil and community needs have been prepared. One of the best known of these lists for American education is the one known as the Seven Cardinal Principles of Education, setting forth objectives as follows: health, command of the fundamental tools and processes, worthy use of leisure, Worthy home membership, vocational efficiency, citizenship, and ethical character. zfcvfcblh-rrfhfdrrrtiunrcrvd 6 ,111-:txt-ziznzzzzzzantz --'-i---'- - -1--4--M wr-HTEFEATH ER -U-1:-: 2 -- : I Boa rd of Education Dorwin Brookhart, William Werst, Lewis Bowersock, William Steveley, Frank Wheeler, Ralph Walther. The Senior Class of 1942 wish to express their thanks and appreciation to each member ot the Board of Education for any part he may have had in helping to make our high school life a success. Vlfe feel that they have used to the best advantage the finances they have been allowed in running this school. We hope that they will continue to build and improve the equip- ment that Buckland High School needs. -0- 7 ....:.:...:.: : 2 :: 2 : H- WHITEFEATHER -0- ----- - Roger L. Downing CB. S.

Senior Class Play Hoi: Water Henry The young man Henry Martin finds himself in hot water practically every time he turns around, which is about once a minute. The Martin family is in dire financial circumstances and decides to take in a border, Lester Price --Pat's fiance. Henry objects to Pat marrying Lester--a soda ierker-but objects more strongly to taking Lester in as a boarder, because that means he will have to give him his room and sleep on the davenport which is harder than a Latin teacher's heart. Spike, Henry, and ludy, The Worm , promote many schemes to get rid of their unwelcomed guests and there is nearly a riot, a murder, and a haDDY engagement broken before their schemes are discovered. The fact that Henry is at the bottom of it all is discovered with a sudden- ness that fairly leaves Henry gasping. It also leaves him sorrowfully oc- cupying the divan.

I first attempted to decline, but my classmates be- came so insistent that I promised to do the best I could, hoping that some kind fairy would help me out of my trouble. I never saw a fairy. Still, I have had some visions, and I am going to picture to you what I beheld. It was during the end of l952 when I came to St. Louis. Across the river, in East St. Louis, Doyle Roebuck was practicing medicine and surgery. I wished to make some inquiries about some former members of the class, but Dr. Roebuck was too busy to give me much information. After leaving the doctor's luxurious offices, I was greeted by a well-dressed lady. How do you do, she said to me. I looked at her some puzzl- ed. Don't you know your old school friend? she asked, I am Iulia Place and a teacher of history in the St. Louis Grade School. Carl Sunderland seemed to know more people than any other person I had met. He told me that Hazel Smith, was mar- ried and was living in Philadelphia. I also heard that Kenneth Stout had become Pres' dent of the First National Bank at Springfield, Illinois, and that Imogene Link was a Secretary in a financial institution at Baton Rouge, La. Toward, the beginning of 1945 business brought me to Dallas, Texas. While walk- ing through the streets of the city, I heard a masculine voice, it was harsh, and lacked beauty. The words were grand. I had heard them when I attended school at Buck- land. One of the students, Norman Skinner, that boy who was always funny and some- times mischieviousg used to sing them when others were studying their lessons. No wonder my attention was directed to that house on the outside of which was display- ed the sign Donna lean Stevely . Teacher of Music. The scene then changed, and I found myself in Halifax, where I encountered the Rev. Thomas Smith, which had published two volumes of sermons. On the way back to Ohio. I came across Glen Biederman, who had established himself as an undertaker in Knoxville, Florida, lean Burkett, I learned, lived in San Antonio, Texas, and having always been a retiring girl preferred to live the life of a philanthropist. I received the information that Ruth Whetstone had become the wife of a millionaire and that Glendora Harris had formed a ladies' quartette and was tour- ing the country, with Theodore Miller, as manager and Ioe Mueller as chaperon. In Cairo, Illinois, I heard of Norma lean Bowersock. She had taken unto herself a husband and together they were demonstrating the value of pure foods to large audi- ences. Annabelle Place and Ruth Roby had started a correspondence school which they later changed into a matrimonial agency. I heard Allie Holtzapple was in the Navy. And I read in the papers that Leona Thomas was to be the next White House Bride. Here my prophetic vision ended. I hastily scribbled down a few notes. Perhaps some of you do not take any stock in my predictions. Let it go at that. If you live long enough, and according to my predictions you will be convinced of the truth of my statements. All that I have foretold will come to pass, but if it shouldn't you will kindly pardon my blunders, for to tell you the truth, I have some abilities for being a weather forecaster. 301 51 ti 1 311 'ltitifi 3 1 1 303 brmiozmxzoiiiinioioiuioxiif141:12 2 in oc 1 10313 zoioiuxuioi 112011115 E R -0103 1,103.3 1 1, 3.11.1111 3 Calendar September 201 New Hampshire-there. 2 First day of school. 23 Wayflesfleld-'here' 9 FFA Meeting' 28 Botklns-there. 12 Freshmen initiated. 23 Fzllculty Party . . .

Junior Class History In the year of Ninteen Hundred and Thirty, during the month of Septem- ber, a number of us carne here for our first time to enter the first grade, then taught by Miss Marsh. We were then quite timid and rather backward. After eight years of hard work, but also many good times, we were ready for High School life. We entered our Freshman year with full speed ahead. With some leav- ing, others coming in, we have been able to remain twenty-one in number. Many of the boys played on the basketball teams during the past sea- son. Many belong to the F.l:.A. Chapter, Glee Club, Orchestra and Band. During the year we received our class rings and had our class play, The Scarecrow Creeps . We hope to finish with the Iunior-Senior Recep- tion to bid the Seniors farewell.
