PRINCIPAL S MESSAGE It gives me great pleasure to congratulate this Senior Class for having reached this impor- tant level of achievement. You have been a real fine group and I have enjoyed my association with you. My life seems richer for having had this association. I believe you have enjoyed your years of association with this school and I certainly hope that your life is richer because of this association. You are now about to enter another era in your own span of life. Your high school days are almost history. Many of the things you have been doing have been done collectively as a class. From now on you will be facing the challenges of life as individuals. Decisions and accom- plishments will be up to you as individuals, not as a class. Certainly one decision you will have to make is how much you will further your education. We must realize that the point has been reached in our society where further education and training are necessary if accomplishments are to be made. I want to challenge you, individually, to be included among those people who wish to accomplish great things. I shall not try to enumerate the other challenges and decisions which you will face. Your commencement speakers will do a good job in this respect. I hope you will listen to these speakers and apply the things which they say to your lives. My feeling toward students is that they are the light of the world . I think that the chal- lenge of our schools is to kindle, or ignite, this light and to start it burning brightly. Then it is up to you to keep it burning. A familiar quotation from the Bible is to let your light so shine among men that they will see your good works and glorify your father which is in Heaven. I hope you will adopt this quotation as one of the guiding forces in facing your future. I shall miss your presence at Farmer High School, but I rejoice with you in your having reached this goal. I certainly wish for all of you a good and successful life. 2

The athletic program is designed for those who are highly skilled in basketball, baseball, and track. SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT 1.

Government offers each student a thorough and practical understanding of local, state, and national governments. 3. Economics offers a study of the vocabulary and terms necessary for the understanding of our economic system. A study of past economic theories and their relationship to present trends is made. 4. Sociology. Here we study the development of basic social institutions in primitive so- cieties; the evolution of social institution from primitive form to the forms existent in current societies. 5. World Geography is the study of geographical factors as they have influenced man's life in the past and in the present, including land forms, bodies of water, climate and natural re- sources. 6. U. S. History and World History offers a careful analysis of the past and present expe- riences of the U. S. and the world—their merits and their mistakes. By a careful study of the mistakes of the past, we hope to build a better tomorrow.
