Fordson High School - Fleur de Lis Yearbook (Dearborn, MI)

ACADEMICS The law requires those under sixteen years of age to attend school. Why? To learn diversified topics — some factual, some interesting, but not often both. To think logically, precisely, and or to accept predetermined American goals and val- ues. Are the administration and faculty of Ford- son achieving these goals? Are we the educated citizens our government hopes to produce?

Speak your truth quietly and clearly And listen to others; They too have their story. Take kindly the counsel of the years.

FHS kas a dedicated administration With the present demanding more from us, students are seeking more from their education than ever before. Fordson’s administrators recog- nize the unsettled conditions of the world. Thus the unique characteristic which this administra- tion possesses is trying to meet each new individ- ual need as it arises in a world of rapid change. The administration has vision. It must. If it did not. we wouldn’t have the new academic classes or the revamping of the old ones, the formation of new clubs and the offering of other after school activities. Nor would we have ex- periments such as the mapping program among some of the teachers and students. Not forgetting the rules and regulations and types of discipline, the administration recognizes our individual free- doms. These factors among the other basic and es- sential responsibilities are in their hands — to better the field of education. The administration, faculty, and students alike must rally together to work and to give so that the needs which develop, may be accommodated in an atmosphere of trust. We must all share the school’s concerns so that we may grow in unity in the school — and in the world about us.
