FUHHUURD lf? L' .2 ff rv MR CECILW LUFFMAN C' HE past year has seen much progress toward providing for our mcreas ing school enrollment Parents and the community at large have con cerned themselves with educational advancements Centralization has taken place, a site for a junior Senior High School chosen and plans for the building are going forward Pupils and teachers must look forward and prepare for these coming improvements U il such time as the 'New is available, let's not lower our sights present educational opportunities Rather let us bend every endeavor to de velop ourselves physically morally intellectually and spiritually so that when opportumty for broadened educational facilities come we may be worthy to take advantage of them with profit to us and the community. Let each and every one become so self directed that he or she may grasp the lighted torch and pass it on brighter to others. t ,K -3 L' 6
