Rights, STUDENT COUNCIL FLECTION We exercise the right to choose responsible student leaders. We are Americans. Free Americans. We, the young citizens of Cary, have many opportunities to practice the roles we will play as mature mem- bers of a free society. Through the Student Coun- cil, we have the opportunity to select student leaders on the basis of their qualifications for the work they are to do. We have opportunities to observe governmental procedures first hand; to participate in orderly group discussion and prob- lem-solving in areas of major interest to us; to explore vocational choices with parents and teach- ers. We gain recognition for the good citizenship qualities we display. As we participate in vital and varied activi- ties, we become aware of our place in an increas- ingly complex world. When we assume the re- sponsibilities of mature citizens, we will be pre- pared for them, through the influences and experiences offered us at Cary High School. UNITED STATES HISTORY TELECAST The right to express one’s opinion in a free land.

LIFE w hat is a school? A pupil, a teacher, and a building, perhaps. But more than that, a world in miniature—a world of growing up, meeting new people, learning to get along with yourself and others, adjusting to new experiences—a world of informa- tion; information about English, chemistry, Latin, and distributive education—a world of memories; memories of class rings, Jun- ior-Seniors, homecoming games and dances, locker meetings between periods—of des- pair, excitement, hope. A school is a heri- tage; a heritage of education for all Ameri- can youth, and the right to grow toward responsible citizenship. What is a school? A design, perhaps—a design for learning to live as free men. kjbbi 15
