llllllll l llllllll Education began as a dream in the minds ot men ages ago. Slowly it has evolved, gaining momentum and at long last has reached a high pinnacle of attainment. The faculty and adminis- tration at Ferguson High School are eminently aware that they are directly influential in producing the potential leaders of to- morrow. The Student Assembly, also included under administration, proves to students true democracy in action. Our Student Assem- bly allows the students who participate in it to get a practical knowledge of a working democracy. With the distinct idea of a living and working democracy the students of Ferguson High School will be better able to become good citizens. Our highly esteemed faculty has taught the students with commendable success. The administration and faculty have at- tempted to impress upon the students here at Ferguson that high ideals and leadership are extremely important. lt is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken ioy in creative expression and knowledge. -Einstein. ..5..

Slll'lllIlllllllllllll Nlr. V. C. McCluer Not only has much improvement been made in the R-2 district, but, Mr. lVlcCluer and Mr. McCollum have accomplished much by their untiring efforts in en- deavoring to assist the students ot Fer- guson High School in obtaining a good education. These able administrators are proud of the tact that the triple A rat- ing has again been awarded the R-2 dis- trict by the state of Missouri. Because of the tremendous increase ot population within the Ferguson-Flon issant Reorganized School District, it has been necessary to erect new school build- ings and to provide additional educa- tional facilities. Among the ettorts of our administra- tors to meet this necessity was the con- struction of an elementary school in Cool Valley and the addition of tive rooms to the present iunior high school.
