“You know Wanda, I never thought I’d get an opportunity to publicly air my opinion of my teachers, but here’s my chance. Strangely enough, I can’t think of many things I actually hold against them.’’ “Same here. I think they are doing a swell job. Maybe we students don’t always agree with our teachers over homework, grades, and so on, but I think, as a whole, we get along all right. The teachers are sometimes pretty discouraged with us, but I don’t think we can really blame them. After all, we aren’t always perfect students.” “How true! I think the teachers deserve three cheers for the good work they’ve done this year, as in past years, in giving us the education we have.” FACULTY First Row — Left to Right Mathilda Dun- lap, Sarah Williams, Helen Spradling, Verne Wilcox, Shirley Thomp- son.

Education in our democracy has a very special importance. Government of the people, by the peo- ple and for the people can be successful only as long: as the people who govern themselves realize their duties and responsibilities. Whenever the time comes when the people think that they have only privileges, without corresponding responsibilities, our democracy will fail. The American People have a tremendous faith in the power of education to promote individual ef- ficiency and good citizenship. High school students often are anxious to get out into the adult world to work. In California the school law states that students must attend school full-time until the age of sixteen is reached. This is to insure that all young people receive the basic education necessary to prepare them for citizenship in our democracy. In addition to this basic education, special vocational courses in the junior and senior years of high school and the ever increasing opportunities to attend nearby regional colleges are offered to encourage young people to develop their particular abilities to the fullest. The welfare of the state is bound up with the welfare of the individual in a democracy where in- dividual responsibility is necessary for good government. Students should be aware of their respon- sibilities in the school situation so that when they go out into adult life they will be ready to assume similar adult responsibilities. Procedures of student government, student conferences, participation in the many organization activities, in addition to regular classwork, give students many experiences that train for full participation in later social, political and economic life.
