lration Mr. T. M. Nelson, Supervising Principal Our gal Friday” Each new day serves to remind us of the many changes that are taking place throughout the world and the adjustments that have to be made in order to keep pace with progress. The breath- taking advances in technology have rapidly increased the number of skilled tasks that have to be performed each day, which in turn has placed a premium on labor trained in specific skills. It is self evident that if we as individuals, are to live the happy and abund- ant life that we all seek, we must somehow at an early age visu- alize the demands that are going to be made of us by the society in which we are going to live and proceed with training toward that end. Our schools, both public and private, have been organ- ized, developed, and are being maintained for the expressed pur- pose of providing the training that is so necessary. The responsibility then is ours. Are we willing to give max- imum effort toward our work, make some sacrifices along the way, and at times accept disappointments in order to achieve our ob- jectives? This, I believe, will be the answer to the challenge con- fronting us. Mrs. T. M. Nelson, School Secretary T. M. NELSON, SUPT.

 £)edication Mr. Henry Huetten To Mr. Henry Huetten, teacher and gentleman, we didi- cate the 1961 PEKATONIKA. Mr. Huetten came to Darlington High School in 1953. He served in the United States Air Force during World War II, and after spending an interval in being hospitalized for injuries re- ceived in a forced landing, he completed his work for his degree at the University of Wisconsin. There he acquired his thorough knowledge of English and the skills for transmitting it to his students. We are grateful for the many hours of work that Mr. Huetten has given Darlington High School students in forensics. His expert coaching has developed the speaking ability of many of our students, and has enabled them to receive high ratings in competition. We give our ardent thanks to you, Mr. Huetten, for your interesting classes, your inspiring interpretation of American Lit- erature, your guidance in public speaking, and your advice on the publication of the Redbird.

Neither rain, sleet, hail, nor dark of night will deter our bus drivers from their rounds. While driving on their daily routes, on trips, and to basketball games they have more than adequately fulfilled the responsibilities of their jobs.

The Board of Education is a group of taxpayers who are elected by the people to represent them in matters concerning property main- tenance and administration of the district schools. We are grateful for their efforts to keep our educational standard high Front Row: Ervin Johnson, Joseph Procter, Elmer Vir- tue. Back Row: Paul Lee, Harry Christensen, Dr. L. E.
