 m The 1950 Nugget is a story of roads and road-building. In the fullest sense, this story is as old as civilization and as far-reaching as life itself. Man builds roads to fill an infinite variety of needs —needs, often, of the mind, the heart, the spirit. Of such roads is our story. Quite fittingly, we open these pages with roads of earth and con- crete leading to Butler from eight outside school districts. From mountains, open country, and pop- ulated villages we come on roads, real and symbolic—roads built for us by community, home, and church. Once here, we build other roads for other needs—together.

Younger tourists marvel even more at the great barns where the elephants were once kept.

THE PLAN IS THE FIRST GUIDANCE AND ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT HEADS AND ADMINISTRATION The roads we plan and build together at Butler are many and varied. There are highways to all kinds of learning, paths to skills and hobbies, roads to athletics, rambling paths to dances and parties. There are sunny lanes to friendship and laughter, level roads to understanding and sharing, steep paths to strength and self-reliance. These and many others we plan and build—together. We know, too, that our planning must include the builder as well as the roads. A student builder must know himself—his aptitudes, interests, person- ality, and vocational bent. He must know that even good roads may lead him nowhere or in the wrong direction if they do not fit his needs. There is but one gateway to all roads built at Butler—we call it student guidance. v 7 tv»»' x . r .ox»0.., u,. - - m ' -r„ A
