7 rc tctfi xC'4, A recent study of our former graduates reveals that almost three-fourths of those who graduated last May are enrolled in some formal program of higher education. This, of course, is a higher percentage than was the case five years ago. There is evidence that the percentage will continue to increase. This situation is not peculiar to Coldwater School but is a part of the national picture. It shows that in the competition for important jobs, special education qualifications are becoming more necessary. During the last few years we have been working toward a program for each pupil that will adequately challenge his ability. Courses ordinarily taught in the upper high school grades are being taught in the lower grades in order that our students may have the opportunity to take more courses in the fields of their greatest interest and ability. Along with this has been an attempt to improve the content of the individual courses and give every encouragement to those who seek enrichment in areas of special interest. The Class of 1964 has had the opportunity to take advantage of part of this steppcd-up program. That this new program is progressing nicely has been evidenced in the improved attitude toward school, fellow students, teachers, and matters of personal appearance. I want to extend my best wishes to all those who are looking forward to further education. I also want to commend those who have availed themselves of opportunities afforded here at Coldwater High School for job preparation. They, too, in many instances will seek further education, both in work experience and part-time instruction. I hope that these years at Coldwater School have brought each of the members of the Class of 1964 to a realization of the fact that education is a never-ending ana enjoyable way of llle.
