CHS Es Cruciloleg Produces Future Adults ' I fl ls 1 , ,f 0 Q fi fir! ,ff Silver keys, awarded by Mr. Griclley for a 'l.0 semester grade average, have been earned several times each by Debbie Hand, Dave Getty, Joe Breck, Bruce Grossetta, and Aaron Latham. From Catalina, a crucible for the fusing and form- ing of ideas and ideals, tomorrow's adults are pro- duced. Adulthood itself, however, is no great accom- plishment when it is accompanied by that ignorance which breeds mental stagnation. Tomorrow's adults, therefore, have to be zealously trained. Youths analyze carefully and listen to the advice of their elders. Having done so, they are stimulated to perform and achieve. To perfectly adiust their mind and body for a happy and productive existence, youths have to develop coordination with the hum of activities of the culture in which they live. Through such coordination, they will fit into the machinery of civilization easily, successfully, and without unnecessary abrasion. They will become a part of that civilization, functioning as necessary and vital units in its advance- ment. Those who have succeeded, have truly made a name for themselves, will most assuredly find a promi- nent niche in tomorrow's rapidly advancing society. Watch carefully for them. 1 ts, idts Pc' 2 Gadgets from an air raid study are being shown to Ray St. Clair by Mr. David Smith who won S500 in this study.

Unlimited Educational Opportunities Are Easilu Found Good teachers, the wide and varied curriculum, cmd excellent plant facilities, combined with initiative to learn on the part of the student, provide unlimited educational opportunities tor all students willing to work. The means and methods of learning are free to all in our democratic system. Our comprehensive educational program this year provided subiects rang- ing from remedial English to honors courses in English and in mathematics. Twenty-one teachers received scholarships, fellow- , shiPS, or special awards of some kind to various insti- Q97 film' tutes in the United States and Germany over the past year. There were so many of them that it was im- possible to list all of the names and the honors. These teachers are trying to better their teaching ability and methods and further their knowledge in their particu- Kg-5 is lar subject. All teachers also get in service training during the school year in their subiect area. ,KTJXW L Am, Education of many sorts can be found in life out- 'X N side of school, that is nearly as basic and necessary - flfft f l. as that taught formally. Life is the greatest teacher, and we are all pupils as long as we live.
