Principal Hugh Andrews Superintendent Gail Grabill Since the theme of this year ' s Ravelings is Records, may I, as principal, emphasize this from the viewpoint of the administration. Every day you are making for yourself some kind of record. On each new day you are adding something to the account of the days gone by. When you graduate, you leave with us a certain kind of cumulative record—excellent, good, poor, or indifferent. This includes scholarship, as indicated by your grades; your dependability, as indi¬ cated by your attendance, punctuality, and preparation of lessons; your school citizen¬ ship, as indicated by the way you get along with your schoolmates, teachers, and of¬ ficials. The administration must pass this, your record, on as colleges or e mployers request it. This record is very convincing! The depth of any program of a school re¬ flects the desire of the community. The edu¬ cational needs change as the social and economical needs change. The school must constantly be aware of the community edu¬ cational requirements. Thus local participa¬ tion and effort by the entire community is necessary for a good school. A good school is not only an asset to a community, but re¬ flects the attitude of the community toward education. Changes will come rapidly in the near fu¬ ture. The administration, faculty, and parents must work together for a good education for the students of tomorrow. I feel confident this will be accomplished and graduating students will go forward with the necessary training for making a living and being an asset in the community of their choice. 7
