CLAY COY Principal v,..-ev EducaTiOn Tor cOmpeTency-wherever people are and whaT- ever They are doing-will be The Theme OT all Thinking Teach- ers and sTudenTs. NO single deparTmenT OT educaTion is capable OT doing This iob adequaTely. The English Teacher, The maThemaTics Teacher, The science Teacher, The Toreign language Teacher, are commiTTed To The Taslc OT Teaching ThaT The qualiTy OT human iiTe is, in realiTy, TiTness To do The job OT living cOrrecTly in a democracy. STudenTs will learn ThaT all parTs OT educaTion are OT equal impOrTance. EducaTion Tor cOmpeTency, To be TaughT in all classes, will be arranged To geT The maximum eTTiciency by beTTer or- ganizaTion and beTTer use OT beTTer equipmenT. -I. K. Boltz. The sTudenT body now in high school is Tacing problems more baTTling Than have ever cOnTrOnTed any group in The hisTory OT our counTry. EducaTion in The pOsT-war period will deTermine The role OT America Tor many years TO come. EducaTional opporTuniTy, vocaTional eTTiciency, eTTecTive ciTizenship, wOrThy home and cOmmuniTy parTicipaTion, in- dividual heaITh and happiness-These ideals OT American liTe can be aTTained only Through a program OT educaTion ThaT is modern in meThod, eTTicienT in OrganizaTion, ade- quaTe in Tinance, and Torward-looking in purpose. IT is up To The youTh OT Today To work Tor and achieve These worTh- while ideals. C'ay Coy' ROBERT C. JAMES AssisTanT Principal YouTh is always a problem To iTselT. IT is diTTiculT To grow up. ln The TuTure, acTiviTies along all lines will be acceler- aTed and youTh may be pushed ouT on The Tringes, buT youTh does noT have so much To do buT ThaT iT can Take care OT iTselT. Primarily youTh is a period OT preparaTion along well deTined lines. Those lines rnusT be Tixed ex- Ternally or by youTh iTselT. The school can oTTer schedules TO compel long aTTenTiOn To given areas OT maTerial, buT To develop Techniques Tor sTimulaTing each individual To plough deep inTo such maTTers by personal iniTiaTive is mosT imporTanT. Beware OT malcing educaTion a mere pas- Tlme- -R. E. Tope. During The war, our boys and girls need all The services we have given Them in peace Time-and more. We musT aggressively cOnTinue To provide Them wiTh educaTion in The give and Talce OT demOcraTic ciTizenship, an under- sTanding OT spiriTual values, recrcaTiOn and opporTuniTy Tor play, a sense OT securiTy, and vocaTional Training Tor TuTure adulThood. The youTh OT Today will be The men and women OT Tomorrow, and as such iT will be Their respOnsibiliTy To see ThaT The war aims OT Today are Tully meT in The peace OT Tomorrow. The American youTh have never Taced a greaTer challenge Than They Tace Today. -Robert C . James.
