EDUCATICN, lNCORPORATED This is the annual report of the factory, Education, Incorporated. In this school year 19-16 and 1947 another group of finished products, the seniors, has been run off the assembly line. In the developing stages are the juniors and sophomores. Processing raw materials, the freshmen, has been started. liducational raw material is alive. It has life and desires action. Such material helps to refine itself. Our raw material and workers are one. These student workers have engaged in diversified studies relative to their particular needs and have parti- cipated in numerous extra-curricular activities for their own enjoyment. They have striven to produce better minds in better bodies for integrated personalities. The factory foremen, the faculty, have trained the workers skillfully and have guided them in forming the products. We speak of the products as being finished. They are . finished in regard to this factory. Perhaps some workers will start operating immediately, while others may go on to larger plants of learning to become more skilled and more polished. The picture at the left typifies the seniors who are walking toward the horizon. Twelve yelrs of their formal education have been completed. They are walking prepared for what obstacles, joys, or difficulties the will bring them. ahead future Education, Incorporated, is about to close shop for a season, but the plant will 1-eopen and get into operation in the fall for the new school year of 1947-48.

For Our Thoughts, Talents, Trades, 6- Techniques This factory is designed to develop thoughts, talents, trades, and techniques for the individual worker. In dealing witl1 thoughts tl1e school's job has been two- fold, 110t only to elevate thinking but also to train people to think. In the vocation classes, organized this year, the students have tried to understand religion, moral codes, and social life and to clarify their own philosophy of life. Students have delved into tl1e past in order to gain a per- spective for the solving of future problems. Talents in speaking, writing, acting, drawing, and singing have been encouraged. A speech class and the Forum Club have smoothed and mellowed voices and also have 111ade 111inds alert. A journalism class, in addition to the English classes, and work on the factor-y's paper and annual have taught the workers to express themselves verbally. A dramatic art club has trained would-be David Garricks and Ethel Barrymores. An art class has sought to locate latent talent in painting and etching. Vocal cords and diaphragms have been strengthened in the choir and the glee club. The trades and techniques have been developed in home eco11o111ics classes, agricultural classes, shop classes, and commercial classes. Some of the plant's workers will become future home makers, some will be our future farm- ers, some our engineers, mechanics, and draftsmeng some our accountants, secretaries, stenographers, and execu- tives.
