SUHUUL BUAHU PHUMUTES UE The city of Galion has always been in- terested in having a Board of Education composed of individuals who are inter- ested in progress. Several policies have been initiated by the present Board of Education which are in complete keep- ing with the current national develop- ment. They have been very interested in the welfare of each and every individual in the school system and have formulated their policies in accordance with this phi- losophy. Special attention has been directed to the securing of a personnel interested in developing the features of the school program which go for a broader inter- pretation of living. In formulating policies the Board of Education has recognized that health is the most important principle of educa- tion, and that it is necessary for each and every boy and girl in the public school to recognize the importance of proper body care. Emphasis has also been placed upon the importance of the prop- er social adjustment for boys and girls of school age. The Board has concurred The Board in Executive Session H MUUHAUY with the school ogicials in the import- ance of limited activities which will give every youngster an opportunity to under- stand the import of his mental reactions. As is indicated by the curriculum of the school, the importance of the social stud- ies has been recognized. Throughout the twelve years of the student's school life he is required to take eleven years of social science. This is due to a conviction by the Board of Education and school officials that knowledge of the practices of government and the structure and working of society will contribute much to the student becoming a good citizen of our democracy. We realize that only when students are properly trained for this field, can they become participants in a democratic society. It is also recognized that students will only become prepared by actually practicing democracy in their school life. The Spy certainly has a place in this type of program. A survey of this publi- cation shows the activities of the Galion Senior High School and tells a complete story of the student life. Louise John B. P. Mansheld P. A. Murr H. W. Sanderlin C. Adams V.

PICKERING Principal MARY ANN CASEY Secretary to Principal ADMINISTRATION IS EIINTIIULLING UHGIINIZATIIIN Galion Schools have endeavored to ob- tain an outstanding democratic spirit in varied activities, and in quality of work. The State High School inspector especial- ly noted this and the cooperative admin- istration, as represented by the board of education, the superintendent, the prin- cipal and the students council. The or- ganization has credited much of its pro- gress in training for democracy to the fact that democracy can thrive only where it is permitted to be practiced. Defense courses, vocational education, music activities, training, nursing and in- terest clubs have been organized as a service to our community. These are in conjunction with an academic curricula which offers the needed requirements for college. Administration, primarily spealcing, is the controlling organization. Its respon- sibility is to offer to the citizens of Gal- ion and the vicinity the very best in edu- cation. This means the social develop- ments of school age children as well as the vocational and academic develop- ment, and has been referred to as avo- cational. Clubs, radio, visual education, music and home making, in addition to a factual curricula, are giving that train- ing necessary for a fuller life. The visiting teacher's program is a definite phase of the purported type of administration, Our visiting nurse has as- sumed numerous problematical cases of attendance and poor school work. Solu- tions are more permanent than by the forced attendance laws. Education is closely aligned with civic pride and interest. For this reason the appointment of advisory committees in many fields has helped affect school problem solutions. Active Parent-Teach- ers groups and others identified with the school organization have aided in deter- mining policies for our school.
