SUPERVISING PRINCIPAL EDWARD F. GROSENBECK PRlNClPAL'S MESSAGE School days provide some of the happiest memories for many people. They should be, in fact, one of the most pleasant periods in the lives of most people. These happy and pleasant activities should be accompanied by experiences which contrib- ute to the general preparation of young people for adult living. The years spent in school are in some ways difficult ones. A child enters school as the product of a sheltered environment. Many times he is accustomed to being the center of atten- tion and having most of his wishes catered to. He knows little of sharing or taking responsibil- ity. From this beginning, he must develop into the adult whom society needs to carry on its work. He rnust be trained in basic skills and knowledge. He must grow at his own rate to the point where he can ,take his place in society. School is such a natural part of this growth process that many youngsters are not actively aware that it is taking place. All of a sudden they are seniors and are preparing for graduation. Where did the time go? To the school belongs the responsibility for getting to know each childg for discovering his needs and abilities and helping him to meet these needs and develop these abilities. Our youngsters, I feel, are fortunate in attending a school that is large enough to be ade- quate and still small enough to be personal. We know our youngsters. We know their needs, their feelings, and their abilities. We are able to guide them and suggest to them the direction in which they should go. Each one of our youngsters is a real person to us. We wish all of our youngsters a,successful, happy future in which they will use the knowl- edge and attitudes we have tried to make a part of their lives.
