A first piece to a puzzle is always the most important, for it is the be¬ ginning of the formation of all other pieces. So is instruction. Acquiring knowledge is the very basic reason for any school—the foundation upon which it is built and the broad horizon to which it expands. Grove- ton students come here to search for knowledge, enhanced by a com¬ mon, yet diverse education, and an ever-broadening program. To formulate this ideal, students are offered a variety of subjects, from Physics to Home Economics, in all, forty-four subjects are of¬ fered for the student’s choice. Here at Groveton boys and girls are offered three types of diplo¬ mas—Academic, Commercial and Vocational—thus meeting the needs of each individual. As each student participates in classroom activities, his ideas and character are developed and he is an actual part of Groveton—an ac¬ tual part of a working organization devoted primarily to unfolding all the potential abilities of her stu¬ dents.
