,, , if This book records the A 1, f g year' s progress as students - 1 have seen it. The editors statement r e la t i n g what these pages record to the school as a whole. W The accomplishment of 1954-55 has for the most part been to carry forward innovations already made. The Seniors, for instance, are the first to present to colleges their scores on the General Composition Test, which the Parker class of 1950 took in its first ex- perimental form. The class of 1967, grouped and taught by methods introduced in 1950, is now the sixth to be- gin reading without 'prob- lems' or 'remedial cases'. Students, faculty, and par- ents again had the T.B. X- ray survey here which we were the first to undertake as a school unit -- and First and Second Graders supplemented this public health participation with Salk Polio Vaccine inocu- lations. Grades Four, Five, and Six put on TV the tab- leaux and musicfrom their Christmas program, Grade Ten transplanted A Mid- summer Night's Dream . from our auditorium to the 'W' I M. . ga. Farragut High Schoolg typ- ing classes were held in school for those who wi shed, Student Government extend- ed its local activities by joining North Shore and the 1 vi .,:L R, Latin School in what prom- ises to become an annual ' ' ' conference, students advised and conferred with the Faculty in revising the traditional schedule of activities to make room for growth and change. New students proposals followed instantly on the announcement of this revision. And possibly the promptness, originality, and imagination of these new proposals are the most significant aspects of the year. On April 22, the Orchestra and the Special Chorus helped in a beautiful and touching evening exercise in honor of the last of our three great Founders, Mrs. Emmons Blaine. Long ago, Mrs. Blaine said that the moving power toward founding this school was the belief that it should not be 'hampered by the weight of ignorant demand and blind conservatism', but' free to take such steps as seem sure ones toward a better education'. This freedom we cherish. It has been used in 1954-55 to move forward in ways that neither reject the past nor are bound by it, and with undiminished momentum. Herbert W. Smith Page Two
