No one can fail to observe that we are living in a time of rapid change and bewild¬ ering problems. One of the purposes of edu¬ cation is to help each person to become a competent individual, able to make a living and to meet the problems of life. Another of its purposes is to help each person to get a- long with others. It is believed that the schools have no commission to reform the world, but has the inescapable duty to keep the chan¬ nels of information open and the spirit of in¬ quiry awake.

Our admir¬ able concern today with developing countries would have been more effective if we had assumed the role of world leadership sooner. It is for this reason that every student should have an active interest in the world. The so¬ cial studies department of Dyer Central strives to (stimulate) this (interest) in world happen¬ ings. The study is designed to be most help¬ ful to the pupil in getting a thorough under¬ standing of what they have read and discus- Mr. Bereolos and Barb Bucha discuss the Bill of Rights in gov¬ ernment class.

Lively Arts Stressed At Dyer Central Mr. Ruff demonstrates to his class the correct techniques of giving a speech. The significance of speech in drama ties the two subjects closely together. It teaches every student to speak clearly and fluently - in conversation, in informal and formal speech situations, in dramatics, on radio and television, and over the telephone. It emphasizes the concept that what a speaker says is as important as how he says it. The television system at Dyer Central is becoming increasingly important to all students. Closed-circuit television has furnished entertainment for homeroom and classroom time. Dyer Central’s closed-circuit TV has attracted state and nation-wide attention. Since its appearance on the local school scene, state educa¬ tional circles evaluate our program as the most com¬ plete, progressive system in the state. Mr. laconetti makes a minor repair on one of the television cameras in our TV. room.
