Throughout the high school YEARS, a student is most influenced by the faculty members themselves. The daily contact between individual students and teachers creates opportunities to inspire and guide students; by this means communication between the student body and faculty as a whole can he strengthened. Since the length of time spent in high school is relatively short, it is the responsibility of every faculty member to realise each student ' s particu¬ lar qualities and abilities and guide him toward utilizing these to his best advantage. Most teachers and administrators have devoted many years to education. Although each has his own methods, all have a wealth of time and experi¬ ence to share with the student. This communication and sharing between student and teacher leads to the realization that education is a two-way process, in which both sides learn and benefit. Teachers and adminis¬ trators aid students by inspiring them, leading extra-curricular activities, working with indi¬ vidual students, guiding them, and giving the kind of advice that only time and experience can bring. Through this attempt at understanding and communication, education takes on a new, broader meaning. As time passes, the student will begin to realize the immeasurable value of his high school education, the many rewards it has given him, and the goals it has brought him a step closer to achieving. 7
