Hope for the extension, improvement, and lasting success of democracy rests heavily upon free education, and, in turn, on the stewardship of the school hoard member, who is, at the same time, custodian of the rights of every American child.

' - Bl Cu PM-0 TAN, lftuvbu LQ M J T- , f VVLvL.4 151,45 K To the graduating class of 1946: Now that the war is over and we can turn our thoughts to building a future of peace and security the high school graduate can plan his career without fear of hav- ing his education and training interrupted by giving his service for the defense of his country. Freedom and democracy live again. The world today needs leadership and understanding among all the people of the earth to find a way that will make it impossible to wage a war against each other. This can be done only through education. You have the foundation for a useful life. Continue to study and learn so that you may make this world a happier place in which to live for all people. My sincere congratulations and best wishes to each and every one of you for a happy and successful life. A. G. HUDTLOFF, Superintendent lifwuii essdges Members of the Class of 1946: The costliest and most devastating war in human existence has passed into history. The four graduating classes which have immediately preceded you have been thrust into a war-torn world which meant immediate service in the armed forces for most of the boys. Yours is the privilege of attacking problems of peace-the tremendous responsibility of bringing to the nations of the earth a new era of peace. You have worked for what has seemed to you to be twelve never-ending years to reach the goal of high school graduation. In the future you will look back upon your high school days as some of the most pleasant of your life, although many of you will regret that you have not taken better advantages, of your opportunities in school. A considerable number of you have planned to con- tinue into higher education. Great success is expected from the Class of 1946. From you can come the leader- ship which is so sorely needed in the coming years. To you who do not seek further education, we hope that you will have been helped to develop skills, habits, attitudes and appreciations that will serve to make you an asset to the society in which we live. HAROLD F. GRAY, Principal

GUIDANCE NDER Mr. Ericlcson the guidance department helps stu- dents orient themselves. After hearing a student's problem his counselor, Mrs. Laclcey for senior-high girls, Mrs. Bur- nett for junior-high girls, Mr. Vinyard for senior-high boys, and Mr. Alsbury for junior-high boys, malces whatever sugges- tions are necessary to help the student work out the problems for himself. The department does not tell a student what to do: instead, it malces it easier for him to arrive at his own decisions. This department also helps students make better plans for the future. Mental maturity and personality rating tests are given to help a student better understand himself. The heads of the other departments may use achievement tests to determine a student's abilities. Two vocational tests are given, one measuring aptitude and the other interest. A study of vocations is carried on in the .lunior English classes. Thus in terms of his needs, interests, abilities, opportunities, and responsibilities Clover Parlc's students are able to plan for their future worlc. ', lcf! tu riglvl: Mrs. Ellen Burnett. jr.

ADEN, advisor for Clover Parlc's new thirteenth and fourteenth grades, feels the new law providing for addi- tional vocational training in the state of Wash- ington will remedy a great deficit in high- schools' curricula. Vocational education, a vital part of our social culture, has been neglected. A wider interest and a greater need for pro- ficiency in vocational, and aeronautical fields is developing among veterans and graduating students, Clover Park was among the first , in the state to form thirteenth and fourteenth grades, primarily to meet this need. 9132 Faculty epmftments Carlin Aden Director of l3th and 14th Grades It-If 'ln nglvi: Gladys Stipt-lc-English.

The head of this group or department, acting with all if a committee would, then organized a course of study uniting all Clover Park's courses a certain held of study were grouped together the teachers in his field, much as the chairman Linder his authority. This system was not new to the English teachers at school. They had been organized since 1942. Miss McDonnell, the librarian, had rlected head of the informal department.
