The Big Top ...... Corry Area Senior High School r I 4' t 2 e 5 J OINTURE World War II revealed to the American public the unexpected fact that there is a con- siderable amount of illiteracy in the population, unevenly distributed between county and city school pupils. Although the -conscientiousness and personality of the classroom teacher is still the most potent fact in producing an educated Ameri- can citizen, a few other contributing factors have been acknowledged. 1. The war revealed a percentage of defective bodies in the youth of the country which was mortifying to thinking Americans. Many of these bodily defects are remedial. Most of the attempts at renre-dy and prevention have been made in towns and cities. Rural as well as urban children should profit by the expanded services of the medical examiner, the school nurse, a11d the dental clinic. 2. Our expanding social bonindaries demand that public instruction in regard to diet, nutri- tion, housing, community 'cleanliness and civil defense be provided at public expense and made free to all C0lllGl'S regardless of age, race, or status. 3. The opening of many industries and occu- pations to women emphasizes the need of more attention to. delayed marriage, reduced birth- rate, and neglected infant care. An effective campaign against these threatening evils must be essentially an open educational campaign. 4. Every nation which has become the leader, as the U.S.A. now is, has been destroyed fromz the inside and not from the outside. Coopera- tive discipline for the good of the whole nation may be taught by producing music in a band or orchestra, folk-dancing, group performances of gymnastic feats, acting in plays, athletic eve-nts, and other such group entertainment. This American loyalty does not resemble the old fashioned, automatic, unthinking obedience which was long the ideal in military and in- dustrial organizations. The reorganization of population areas into Jointure and Merged School Districts as a solu- tion to the various defects of our American edu- cational system has become almost pandemic. On July 5, 1951, the school districts of Columbus, Concord, Corry, Elgin, Spring Creek and Wayne

Douglas in appreciation for his untiring efforts in behalf of school jointure and the building of the new Corry Area. Junior-Senior High School. entered into an agreement to educate their res- pective pupils together in a. new modern school building which is now in the 'construction stage. This jointure was certainly a forward step. It will not only improve the educational opportuni- ties of the country pupils but also those of the city pupils. For many decades the graduating classes from the Co'rry Area High School should be thankful for the thoughtful foresight of the school directors who welded their many differ- ences into one homogeuious Joint Board.
