9 x Q0 'a VALEDICTDIQY Education is that developmenlt of the mind which enables an individual to better live ,a fruitful life, w'hether it be obtained by formal or informal means. Perhaps no phase of social activity has undergone so radical a development in modern times as that of education. Schools of today direct their training along professional ani individual lines and give such political training as is necessary for the understand- ing and preservation of modern democracy, rather than restricting it to itihe re ligious, ethi-cal, and cultual training of forcmer days, Contrary, to the belief of many people, educaion is not obtained entirely in the schools, although the school is perhaps tne mst iniportant factor. A very vital part of the eduicafilion of every child begins in the homie. There the halbits are formed whi-ch determine the measure by which the child is able to profit by the advantages of t-he school. 'The types of education which We consider most important. are cultural, technical, specialized, appreciation of the a-rts, and busil-essg but the value of any of these to the individual ,depends to a large ex.ent upon the depth of the general education upon which it is based. 'There are many different ideas about the value of an education although most people judge it in terms of dollars and cents. 'While we must admit that we are living ni an economic era and that this is an important factor, it is by far the least importanii. Th-e real value of an education is the ability to adjust ones self to changing conditions in a happy and unselfish manner, the keen satisfaction of a good job well done, and the appreciation of the finer things of life. There are many phases of education. 'Health education is probably the foundation, for without good health the other phases cannot be developed to their fullest ex- tent. .Social education is probasbly second for the ability to get along with ones fellow citizens tactfully, which is populargy call personality, is a very important phase. Equally important phases are the aibility to earn a living, worthy home membershiip, and worthy use of leisure time. These important phas-es and ideals may be realized by the training of they church, the school, the home, ones environment, travel, worthwhile readlng, ability fto Work hard, d-evelc-pnzent of hoblbies, appreciation of nature, cultivation of the arts, de- velopment of ones own personality, and numerous other ways. Therefore, we may conclude that education is no longer considered a prpara- tion only for life but it is life itself and ccnainues after all formal schooling is over. -Kathleen Doud- PAGE 16 Q 1 , .

SALUTATO DY Parents, Friends, and Classmates: I am very happy to have the honor of bringing to you the Salutatory Address. As spokesman for the Senior Class of 1'93l7, I wish to extend to you our most sin- cere thanks for the sacrifices which you have made in aiding us in the complelting of our high school stairway. During four years of hard work and fruitful studying, we have looked forward to the time when we shoulld comfplete our high school ed- ucation. We have long awaited the hour when we could go out into the world pre- pared to do something worthwhile for ourselves and others. Now the time has come and we hope we are worthy of our places i'I1 t-he worlld. For four years -our small class has been working diligently to clifmfn 'the ladder of education: sometimes the way has been rather easy with sunny skies, at others the way was very difficult and skies were cloudy. But, through all, we have pushed forward without fear or hesitation. Today we are standing on the top lan-ding of our high school stairs, looking out over the different fields of life in which we will take our respective places, but always looking upward for means of improve- ment- . To us, it is a new day. We are leaving the old familiar life behind and entering into the new life with new and glrealter hopes for the future. We are very grateful to our parents and friends who have made it possible for us to receive such cap- able instruction and guidance. Our falculty- has done mu-ch for us and I am certain that we will always value their advice highly. A true education not only walkes in the unambitious youth a feeling that life has a work for him to do, but it also makes him strive to do this work in the best possilble way. The future of our nati-on depends upon the young men and young women to maintain the high standards taught to us during our school career, and' make ours a better nation in which to live. In conclusion, we thank you, parents and tea-chers, for the part you have played in our education and for enabling us to finish our high sfchool career successfully. -Galen Eiler PAGE I7 S522 tx me ffl Y' 5-0 R 0 B 1255 39 Q et? on 1 X gs, ,f g l S
