req, Principal G. D.

Toward this end curricular and extra-curricular groups are organ- ized and directed with the idea of giving full opportunity for pupil growth in capacities and interests. Every child is urged to 'try out' in many fields of endeavor, to learn through experience the areas of greatest interest and satisfaction, to respect the other fellow's rights and privileges as being as vital as his own, Page 9

Bntbo When Mr. Batho was asked for a statement on how La Crosse's school system prepares its students for the future, he kindly responded: ln a democracy an excellent education is the birthright of every boy and girl. This educational experience must be of uniformly high quality from kindergarten through l2th grade. Central High School has an important part to play in the realization of this objective for the city of La Crosse. A thorough-going college preparatory course, coupled with increased emphasis on health education, successful family life, voca- tional competence as well as broad recreational and cultural interests are all helping to make Central one of the best senior high schools in the Middle West.
