Building Tomorrow Through Today A realization that education gained today will lay the foundation for tomorrow's achievements, lies within the mind of every high school student. With the intensity of study becoming greater, taking advantage of the vast educational resources offered in high school becomes greater, also. Technical training in the field of science, mechanics of mathematics, progressive study in commercial courses and social studies, and practical courses through electives, all combine to put educational opportunities at our fingertips. But the academic status of a school is not the only means of preparing students for the future. Through athletics, social activities, and organizations, we are taught the fundamentals of sportsmanship, etiquette, and leadership. These qualities, combined with academic progress, better prepare us for success in business, at home or in higher educational institutions. Thus we can secure the promise of a profitable future through achievements, failures and experiences. Vicki Burley, studying her Senior English and Dave Haviland, learning the basics of American Governm nt, are examples of students advancing their knowledge of the present to meet the challenges of the future.
