MR. CLIFFORD F. SHAMBAUGH, Superintendent A. B. and M. A. Colorado State College of Education, Greeley. Graduate Work University of Southern California Gut Superintendent Education is a Life's Business training program for certain imperishable human qualities in their most plas- tic state, and to begin l.ife's Business education, we must set our goal which includes the idea that our pur- pose is not to get ahead of other people, but to get ahead of ourselves. To get ahead of ourselves, we must begin to break our own record-we must outstep our yesterday's with to- day's, we must bear our own trials more beautifully than we ever dreamed we could, we must whip the temper inside and out as it has never been whipped before, we must give as we have never given before of our time and energy and inspirations, and we must do our work with more force and a finer finish that we ever thought possible. If we can chart such a course with worthwhile at- tainable goals not too far in the future, then we have in mind an educational program that includes the idea of getting ahead of ourselves. Sincerely, Clifford F. Shambaugh Superintendent

LEE R. DICKERSON President With Lee R. Dickerson serving as president, the Board of Education gives tree time in determining the general policies and various programs of the school with the help and ad- vice of the superintendent. The budget is a major problem and authorizing expenditures, setting up salary schedules and a much-needed building program, often keeps these public minded men at meetings until the midnight hour. But to make se- cure the educational interests of the students is the goal ofthe civic-mind- ed board. -l-hey Lead Us lzorevva rd OTTO T. BOYD ROY L. TOMPKINS NEIL T. ROGERS SAMUEL F. UNSWORTH 5 l
