7 Y ' Y 1 GREETINGS F. H. MADISON We are entering upon a period in the history of Cnouteau County High School when all the virtues of the pioneer will be needed. With the smaller faculty necessitated by these hard times and the conse- quent decrease in the subjects and courses offered will' return many of the problems encountered in the earlier stages of development of an institution. These will be the harder to' meet because of the more prosperous times we have enjoyed. However, just asrprivations in the life 'of an individual are fre- quently blessings in disguise, so may it be with usvas a school. The fundamental and essential things in education will remain and per- haps receive greater stress because of the ternporaryw laying aside of other work which however desirable is less valuable. The spiritl ual values of education such as friendships made, habits formed, and ideals impressed are of equal importance with knowledge acquir- ed and are of more value.than the equipment of the school and thc richness and variety of selection of subjects. These will remain with us together with all the traditions of the school which are such a vital part of its influence. In all essentialthings, Chouteau County High School will, we know, retain its high 'standing' of the past. Surely our loyalty to this school, our pride in its past and our faith in its future will carry us through this period of storm and stress.
