E 5 5 l C. W. RICKSECKER Principal To the January and June 1942 Classes: gg A generation ago most graduates of American High Schools could, with l quite a little freedom, decide among several opportunities what their life work was to be. For the greater part of the past decade the question has been what, if any- thing, might graduates get to clo. In 1942 it is a matter of what service to one's country most deserves a grac'luate's participation. Congratulations and best wishes to you, the graduates of 1942, as you leave the school and do your part in improving yourself and the community of which you are a part.

X , m GEORGE A. BOWMAN Superintendent of Schools Y WW f gl 5fT' I 'To the Future Exponents of Democracy' In spite of the coming of war, we should all be thankful that our opportunity for high school education will go on and, we hope, without serious disturbance. Many of you who have older brothers and sisters will see them going into the armed forces or other services of the nation to defend our liberties and to preserve -our way of living together. In the midst of the trials and sacrifices that are ahead for all of us, I hope we may come to understand better the meaning of democracy and the blessings of our liberty, Because we do understand, we shall become more loyal and more faithful citizens. This, it seems to me, is the important thing now for those still in high school. The best service you can render your country and. your community, now, will be in doing your school work better, helping in every way you can your teachers and principals who are going to be called upon for many volunteer services for which you are not now ready. This is just another way of saying that while you have always been helpful .and cooperative as students, in times like these you should even be more eager to- -put your shoulders to the wheels and help with the smooth and efficient operation of your school. I have confidence in our boys and girls of the high schools, and I know that we can count upon them in this hour of great need for the fullest -cooperation. - GEORGE A. BOWMAN January 8, 1942 A 'ff Page Nine 'ff

vv Q vv . A 4 naxava... 1 guna- . A A V A Assistant Principal l i ip Chaney Evaluation As dealers in merchandise take inventory of their stocks, so schools need frequently to survey themselves. Appraisals of educational procedure are not new but the word Evaluations , and particularly Evaluative Criteria , have been used for only a few years. The subject headings that receive ratings by the thirty or more educators that visit a school in such a survey are: English, Ancient Language, Modern Language, Crafts, Industrial Arts, Home Making, Agriculture, Business Education, Health and Physical Education for Boys and Girls, Vocational Shops and related work. In addition to the subject matter itself, there are judgments made on the so-called sections of school work--namely, Philosophy and Objectives, Pupil Population and the school Community, Educational Program as to its functioning in curriculum and course of study, Pupil Activity Program, Library Service, Guidance Service, Instruction and Outcomesg School Staff, the Plant, School Administration, and Individual Staff Member Evaluation. Already the school has made much improvement in the period of approach to the evaluation. It is the school improvement that results from a survey that makes it worthwhile rather than the marlcs that are given. if Page Eleven i'
