jjrzkz cujoa GEORGE REED To thyself be true. To many this may seem a selfish admonition: but let us pursue the thought further. First, let us ask the question, What does one do when one is true to himself? Does one take advantage of another to place himself in a more favorable position? An answer to that question might help pave the way for the first. Obviously the answer should be No. Suppose one loafs on the job when working for himself or for another. The employer suffers and in turn the employee. Suppose one does not learn to apply himself in school. He just gets by but has exceptional ability. Who suffers? The individual will not accomplish his mission in life. Many will suffer because of wasted time and ability: maybe many millions may suffer. Suppose one is dishonest and undependable. Who suffers? The individual will suffer. He loses his job. No one will have confidence in him. He, his relatives, and friends will suffer. Society has lost his productive efforts. Suppose one abuses his health. His productive years are shortened. He is less efficient. He, his friends, and relatives, and society suffer. So to the first question. One should develop a strong, healthy body, an active and inquiring mind, develop habits that will be useful throughout life, and develop an attitude of live and let live. In short, make the most of your ability by hard work and preparation, honesty, trustworthlness, sincerity, truthfulness, and an in- terest in things and people about us. Thus, one should live a full happy life having made others happy for having known him and having made the world a better place in which to live.

J oar gf Ciofzcalfzbn The Board of Education of the Goode Barren Township High School is composed of seven men elected by the voters of the school district to represent them in the operation of the school. It is the duty of boards of education to formulate local school policy, levy taxes to provide funds for the operation of the school, prepare a budget authorizing the administrator to allocate these funds and to provide ade- quate facilities and equipment necessary for effective instruction. The board works through the administrator, giving and receiving advice, with one aim, to better educate our youth. The compensation to members is not in salary but in satisfaction of seeing a job well done.

Uafkr dxf Our yearbook is a book of precious memories. It is something that we, the students, make ourselves and which contains a complete picture of the activ- ities of a school year. It is something that we can look through later and cherish the thoughts of the little things that we will then realize were so im- portant to us. We, of the annual staff, hope that in the years to come you will take pride in this 1958-59 year- book and will remember all the wonderful times that it represents.
