Methods of Student Education While upon the teachers of today rests the responsibility of educating youth, upon school administrations rests the responsibility of supervising-educational systems and planning for the school's future. Clarkston Community Schools Administration follows with preciseness the standards they have set to maintain a high level of education for the youth of Clarkston. Presenting an enterprising picture of efficiency, cooperation and organization, the Administration has maintained their goal of higher education and better educational facilities. With a new elementary school being planned for the near future, their duties will undoubtedly be made more difficult, but if met with the excellence of today's problems, the new ones of tomorrow will be taken in their stride. The Board of Education, meeting in the Administration building, carries with its decisions policies that will effect the school and its students not only today, but also in years to come.

Our Minds Thirst For Knowledge Our minds thirst for knowledge, so we delve into the halls of learning to place ourselves among the ranks of the intellectual; we have kept our bodies physically fit through exercise to maintain mental fitness ; and we developed individual personalities through social activities with fellow students. These are the varied ways through which a Clarkston High School student molds his mind, body, and personality for encounters of the future. Ignorance is thrust from his world as he gradually develops into an educated and intellectual human being. ... Mary Hinkley, Carl Wilberg, Larry Gardner and Kathy Bird find within the shelves of the library valuable information for their respective term papers. Such intensive study and research as a term paper requires, stimulates the learning qualities and retention powers of each of them. 21
