Principal Dunbar High School To The Students of 1955: lt is a generally accepted fact that education in a democracy is affected by what goes on in the com- munity. Because it is close to the people, education in any given locality reflects the social, economic, political and religious life of the community and the nation. In a very real way the interest, the initiative, in short, the character of the community may be accurately determined by an examination of the schools. They will stand still, flounder, grow, or flourish according to the popular support, or lack of it, which they receive. We know this from long and sometimes bitter experience. That is why those of us who are engaged in education are grateful for the people and the organizations who spend their time and substance in creat- ing a climate favorable to educational growth. To stand still is to retrogress . We believe this activity is important - important to all America and all the world. It would, therefore, seem fitting and proper that our feeble voices be raised in honor of those who spearhead this important public service without thought of personal gain. We lift our hats and make our best manners to the Parent-Teacher Associations, the School Boards, the Professional Educational Organizations, the N.A.A.C.P., the Religious bodies and many individual citizens who are always ready to help. While we know that education is affected by what goes on in the community, it is conversely of great importance to those of us in the schools to give some thought to the question of how education can affect the community. If it can enhance the social values, lift the economic level, lead to better government, improve human relations, raise the standards of health, make for individual happiness and prepare us for mature living there is justification in the hope that there is a better day coming . It is my sincere hope that afll real Dunbarians will each contribute in his own way to the realization of this ambitious goal. Very sincerely yours . 0 C. W. Seay, Principal
