3. The school plant will be a model for the community in which it is located, planned to provide facilities for the educa- tional needs of all the people. It should represent the distinctive quality of culture, pride and vision of the people of the com- munity. 4. School records of pupils will be in terms of performance and achievement rather than in terms of teacher marks. They will record growth in achievement and accomplishment for the individual as he matures in the experience of the school and the activities of the community. 5. A method of teaching and learning that is based upon doing for specific purposes rather than upon telling and listening . 6. A curriculum that is determined previously and continuously by the needs of the people in the community and not by tradition, or law, or by what some other community does. 7. Educational services will be pro- vided for all the people of the community from the nursery school child to the oldest adult in terms of individual interests, needs and possibilities. This will necessitate that the school program be well balanced for every individual, including training in manual skills and an acquaintance with the culture of his community, his state, his nation, and the world. 8. The community of the future will see to it that work experiences are more Word Prom am happy to respond to your kind invitation to extend a greeting to the pupils and teachers of Grove City High School in the 1944 issue of the Pine Knot. Due to the excitement and uncertainties of war, we looked forward to the year 1943-44 with more of a sigh than a smile. lt has brought us sighs as we bade farewell to our boys who entered the Ser- vice, and as we received the sad news of those who gave their lives for our country. But the year has brought us some reasons for smiles, too. This year a greater pro- portion of pupils than usual have elected hard subjects in preference to easy ones in their determination to get a good basic training for service in our armed forces, and for their chosen vocations. effectively co-ordinated as an essential part of the student's program before he leaves school, also, that real life experi- ences be made a real and vital part of each person's curriculum. 9. Guidance will receive the practical consideration it deserves as the core cur- riculum for every student throughout his school experience. Pupil guidance will be based upon straight thinking about himself and his own problems first, about his local community and about the affairs of his larger community. This type of thinking will hold human values more pre- cious than material values and will mag- nify our spiritual privileges, responsibili- ties and duties. 10. An all-year educational schedule will provide for the recreational interests and needs of all age groups represented in the community and will be financed at public expense. As superintendent of Grove City Pub- lic Schools, may I express the hope that boys and girls of our community now serving so valiantly and sacrificially in the armed services of our country to make a World of Tomorrow possible, will later make their contribution to secure greater opportunities for themselves and others in Tomorrow's World through increasing, en- riching, and extending all worthy educa- tional services. Sincerely, H. W. Traister the Principal The many and varied experiences of pupils as typically reviewed in this vol- ume have resulted in their well rounded development, not only intellectually, but physically, socially, and spiritually. Heartiest congratulations are due pupils and teachers because of these achieve- ments and the resulting developments. I wish to thank the members of the Pine Knot Staff, and their advisor, Mr. Elder, for the fine work they have done in recording these typical events of school life-the serious and the funny-in class, in assembly, in club, in gym, in corridor, at the game, and at the social. Along with the record of these events they have caught the life and spirit of our School. In years to come, as we leaf through this book we shall live again the days we spent in good old Grove City High School. Sincerely yours, G. H. Crowther The Pine Knot - ll l l , J
