Dalia Williams, Superintendent Our founding fathers knew it would'l:e necessary to produce a people with free minds and respect for the rights of others if our type of democracy was to function. To carry out this desire they developed the great system of free public education. There could be no other reason for having an czlucation system in every constitution of the forty-eight states, paid for out of public funds with pupils compelled by law to attend. Our schools have donated a larger part of their program to citizenship edu- cation. More recently we have come to realize that you can not make good citizens solelv by doing the three r's and talking good citizenship. Good citizenship is a way of behavior. lt is a matter of action. Active things you learn through action. Active things require some sort of laboratory approach and citizenship ' no exception. One of the go s fi this school is to provide laboratories of good living. Ou 1. activities point in that direction. Itrust that each of our students . ke flxll advantage of these opportunities. Surely here we have or w' h a new vision of our obligations as citizens in a great e nation. t X U 1 Af fi sl - George Lipscomb, Principal gi S I ould like to express our sincere appreciation for the high type of 'ork you have done, the splendid attitude you have maintained, and the ubstanial contribution you have made to a broader, richer and more means gful school life.
