'Alt is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. With these words, Abraham Lincoln gave to the ages Americas no- blest example of oratory. Delivered at Gettys- burg, this speech gives a true picture of the courage and deep feeling of the speaker. With the ambition, patience, and pioneering spirit of just such patriots, a great nation was con- ceived. Pit the present time We are again faced with a world crisis. Every high school student is advancing into young manhood or woman- hood and as we will be the future citizens, we should also have the virtue of true patriotism uppermost in our thoughts. We, the Senior class of l94l, Will strive to keep this princi- ple in mind, and in so doing we Wish to dedi- cate this annual to freedom and democracy, 3 l

Only in a democracy such as ours do we have so much freedom: but at the same time, we should not uphold such a state. forget our obligations to Also. under cur government. education is something that every person of sound mind and body can enjoy. Some students resent having to go to school. But if they were in Europe where they had to take military train- ing or work in factories. they would be glad to go to school. This year the staff feels that since education plays such an important part in our way of life. we should have as our theme Freedom and Democracy. Zl

I IIIQV IZXECUTIVES '75 V ' - .W SUPT. J. H. PEET Democracy in Education Today, the democratic idea in govern- ment and all social life is being challenged as never before. We see from day to day the sup- pression of liberty and the right of self deter- mination in many lands. America is almost the last lighthouse of liberty in the world today. We, in public education. must see that this light is not extinguished. We must teach as never before the oppor- tunities and possibilities of the democratic way of life. We must instill in the student those qualities which bring forth the best that one has to give. We must remember that each human being has in himself certain ex- cellencies and certain possibilities, and it is our duty as public servants to help the stu- dent discover these possibilities and to explore them until he feels that he is making a real contribution toward cur way of life. C. C, SICIIUCIFLI' Education for Democracy A'We learn to do by doing. A fundamental principle of democracy is that there shall be government OF the people BY the people. lf adults are to govern themselves, our schools must give young people an opportunity to practice self-government. Since ours must be a representative democracy, a second funda- mental principle is that there must be a respect for and a cheerful obedience to a constituted authority. Uln our high school we are endeavoring to provide an environment in which there shall be a dearee of self-government and yet one in which the final authority rests with those to whom the board of education has delegated that authority. lf students and adults accept these two principles, democracy is reasonably safef!
