During the school year each stu- dent necessarily devotes most of his time, thought, and energy to scholastic achievement. Each, according to his tastes and interests, the needs implied in his present and future educational plans, and vocational ambitions follows his particular pattern of studies. His efforts are directed primarily toward in- tellectual accomplishment in the vari- ous areas of knowledge. Achievement here serves both individualistic and social purposes; it is primarily for such a purpose that the school exists as a social institution. There is another sphere of school life, somewhat apart from studies, yet grow- ing out of them and serving similar edu- cational ends. To activities such as dra- matics, music, athletics, clubs, and school government, boys and girls bring their talents and interests and in them find opportunity. Such activities teach skills, techniques, and knowledges; more than formal subjects they offer oppor- tunity for personality development, for emotional growth, for unselfish service, for the practice of good citizenship. For the school these activities are a |x wcrful integrating force, binding its individuals and its groups into a self- conscious whole. All kinds of activities are reflected for us in the Mirror. Through its pages you will enjoy the past year now; five, ten, thirty years from now, turning them over in retro- spect, you will enjoy it even more. C. H. THRK1.KELD Superintendent Page Six
