Rossman. S We look back on our school life, foremost in our thoughts are the untiring efforts of Dr. l-l. W. Traister and Prof. G. H. Crowther, who have helped and guided us in preparing ourselves to take our places in the World of Tomorrow. No matter how busy they were with school prob- lems, they were always Willing to listen to the students' difficulties and to render their assistance whenever possible. Keeping our Welfare in mind, no task was too great or too small as long as they helped prepare us for a Well-rounded life. The task of supervising the education of the boys and girls in Grove City community is under the able supervision of the Board of Edu- cation. The Board meets the first Monday of each month to discuss the problems of appropriations and curricula, of the care of the building and the grounds, taxes, and school supplies. Because of their civic pride, G. C. H. S. possesses the enviable reputation as one of the state's finest institutions of learning. Of the teachers who meet us daily at the doors, we must remember how, with patience and cheerfulness, they guided us through our many trials. We shall remember our friends, the teachers.

G. H. CROWTHER Principal H. W. TRAISTER Superintendent Erloootioo io tho World oi Tomorrow f E are grateful for the opportunity of expressing to you what vision we hold for education in the World of Tomorrow . We are indebted to the faculty sponsor and the Pine Knot Staff for the privilege of presenting some pertinent views in rela- tion to the topic which constitutes the gen- eral theme of this yearbook. ln the American community of tomor- row the public school must be in reality an institution of all the people for their en- lightenment and for their common good. lts function must be that of making the local community a better place in which to live and work. To do this, the school in the world of tomorrow must have the following distinguishing features. l. An administration that has its auth- ority from local sources and that works under policies adopted by the representa- tives of the people in the community. The chief administrative responsibility will be that of providing a financial system from funds supplied jointly from federal, state, and local governments to insure equality of educational opportunity consistent with individual capacity. 2. Teachers who are first of all real people with personality, social responsi- bility and depth of culture, their prepara- tion based previously on rendering a great social service. They will enjoy sal- aries and security in positions that will permit them full democratic participation in the affairs of the school and com- munity. The Pine Knot - 10
