Mr. Robert E. Clark took many small steps to further the development of education in the Nettle Creek School Corporation. A native of Kansas, Mr. Clark came to Hagerstown with only six years remaining until his retirement. Instead of taking life easy and merely waiting for retirement, Mr. Clark became more active than ever in education. He set a goal-that of building a new junior-senior high school. Mr. Clark wanted students in the Nettle Creek area to have every advantage and opportunity of a new school as the students in neighboring schools. In six years as superintendent here, Mr. Clark worked toward that goal. In a few months, his goal will be reached. Robert E. Clark was a fine example of how taking one small step can lead to a giant leap — in this case, for the welfare of today ' s youth and tomorrow ' s leade rs. He will long be remem- bered and admired.

Accepting defeat and winning modestly are two valuable assets of human behavior. By taking steps in sports, the athlete can learn to accept these challenges. Defeat is often more important than victory, for it stimulates the individual or team to take one step further to try for success again. The athlete takes one small step toward understanding the necessity of success and defeat. By taking small steps to develop his talents, the athlete supplies the basic foundation of a particu- lar sport. Each individual is responsible for taking one small step in life. School life provies the initia- tive to strive for such qualities. The students search for the right direction in which to take their firt step. Teachers strive to point the stu- dents toward a beneficial road to maturity. Taking one small step through school experi- ences as teenagers will enable students to enter the adult world with a better understanding of their role in society.
