School Life Emphasizes The Individual’s Worth Although school is a collective institution, the staff of The 1964 Trucker believes that the importance of school is seen through in- dividual achievement. The qualities and dis- tinctions which mark each individual’s being lead to the numerous varieties in accomplish- ments. These qualities are developed and strengthened by education. The training of the individual, both mental and physical, through class studies, homework, extra- curricular activities, and interscholastic ac- tivities, is the most important goal of Chur- chland High School. All emphasis is drected towards this one aim, and the proof of the worthiness of this effort is witnessed through the excellence of the individual. The school cannot earn greater satisfaction than that which comes with developing a well- educated person, ready to take his place in a democratic society as is ours.

Until a few years ago the guidance pro- gram in high school was a phase of school work that was somewhat neglected and over- looked. However, with the development of the large high school and the need for individ- ualized counseling, a pressing demand for trained guidance personnel became an imper- ative part of school. As such, when Church- la ' nd High School entered its present building in September, 1954, guidance services also came into being. As the first guidance direc- tor for the new school. Miss Charlotte Beale began the program that in ten years has ex- panded into a major area of school life here at CHS. Guidance, as developed and carried out by Miss Beale, includes ma ' ny jobs of which few people are actually aware. All during the day Miss Beale counsels with numerous students. From securing information about college en- trance requirements and scholarships and checking on class progress and records of students to giving standardized tests, aver- aging grades, and advising on subject matter. Miss Beale is constantly striving to provide students, teachers, and parents with the best counseling and guidance program that can be offered. For her untiring effort, her love for Churchland High School, and her willingness to give of her time to pupils, as well as to teachers and parents, we, the Class of 1964, devotedly dedicate The 1964 Trucker to Miss Charlotte Anne Beale.

At Churchland High School the individual is recognized in many ways: through class work, scholastic excellence, scientific achie- vement, athletic prowess, artistic ability, ser- vice, leadership, and many others. After graduation, the achievements of the individ- ual are equally as important, not only for the individual, but also for tht school upon which his achievement reflects. The annual staff of The 1964 Trucker believes that the individual has an important function in the actions of society. Although today’s environment cannot help but mold an individual in certain ways, the annual staff feels that there is worthi- ness and dignity within each person that is permanent and unchanging. Therefore, in- dividual achievement at Churchland High School should be encouraged and recognized. For this reason, the staff of The 1964 Truck- er places its focus on the individual. By so doing it is hoped that each Trucker will come to have a personal feeling that this yearbook vividly pictures his year at CHS.
