Education in our new school at Cochranton is a thrilling experience for hoth students and teachers. Here our boys and girls are treated as individuals and educated as such. Each is encouraged to learn as much and as rapidly' as possible, yet no student is sacrificed to a system. Only under such conditions can true democracy' exist. Vile congratulate our seniors this year for the high standard they have set in this new school. May their efforts and sincerity be an inspiration to those who may be privileged to attend Coch- ranton High in the future. Laurence lVl.
