Foveword Qliillimis! The invention of the printing press has had more lasting results than about any other discovery. For years, our knowledge has centered around books. They have provided a key to the future and an account of what has been accomplished during years past. During the earliest times, pictures were used to record events. They were drawn on the walls of caves. This was a slow way of making records and very far frdm present day ways of getting information from one person to another. Q Books are the keys to knowledge and by reading them understandingly, we can increase our knowledge and improve our minds each day we live. Books are the records which tell of the findings of many great inventors, scientists and historians during a life time. They make it possible for the next generation to go on fr m where the older man left off. Books give hours of enjoyment and provide a source of relaxation for many. We have chosen Books as our yearbook theme, because we feel that what we have gained fram them in the past twelve years will greatly influence our future. we hope too, that books will always be our help and cdmpanions whatever our life work may be.

Admnnnstrotnon UR CAREER JUXDAAXKI , Before anyone is fitted to oversee and direct the work of others, he must spent years working and learning from books He must also have experience in working out the things that he has learned In school, the teacherls job is to pass on to the pupils what he has learned and to guide them along the right road to useful and successful lives A teacher is helpless without the cooperation of his pupils Mb pupils often express such thoughts as HThe teacher is always telling us what to do while he or she doesnit have to do anythingu, NI would like to change places with my teacher and give him all of that homework But, what we donit realize is how much time is spent in planning the lessons and marking our papers and exams Then too, the teachers had spent many years as pupils, just as we are, so that they could prepare themselves to pass on to us our great heritage Letfs be thankful for teachers and do our best to cooperate with them in this quest for knowledge.
