Ou: Principal - MR. L, D. WOOD S a student nears the end of high school he may well ask himself What have I got out of school? If you can count only so many courses passed for a diploma, you have profited only in part for there have been, along the way, many opportunities from which come the by-products of going to school. It is true that school is primarily for teaching the common skills which everyone will use in some measure no matter where he lives. These are usually called the three R's. Living in today's world has amply shown that to these should be added some ac- quaintance with other subjects such as art, music in the grades and high school and vo- cational subjects in the high school. Equally important the idea of a sound mind in a sound body persists in all school curriculums. So we have physical education. Aside from the three R's and these formal studies, it will be a great addition to your assets if you have developed two more R's. I refer to a sense of responsibility and re- spect. You may wonder what can this have to do with your future. Let me assure you it can have a great deal to do with it. The pupil who has not learned to be responsible in doing his school work on time, and done well, the pupil who has treated lightly his re- sponsibility for being in regular attendance at school, that pupil will try to carry the same attitude with him into adult life. He will learn the hard way that it does not work. The same is true of the matter of respect--respect for authority, for law, for accepted custom. The pupil who, in his school life, has not developed these assets may find it will spell lack of success in a material way sooner or later. Those who enter military service are apt to acquire this if they do not already possess it. School teachers and officials know this. There is seldom a week that they are not asked to recommend a former pupil. Is he trustworthy? Is he industrious? Is he cooperative with andloyal to supervisors and colleagues? What can you say of his regularity of attendance? His punctuality? These are among the many questions and types of information which college and prospective employers wish to know. The answers to these questions are found in your record which you have made. The school has tried to see that you have acquired skills and information. It is hoped that you have developed, as well, some of the characteristics I have mentioned because no matter how skillful you may be or how much knowledge you possess, more is needed. That will be found, Ihope, in the attitudes you have formed during your school life. Sincerely, S C Lisle D. Wood, Principal 6 essage
