MU-1' A . ' DMI I TRATIO To Mr. Carrier goes the tremendous job of scheduling the hundreds of events taking place in the school each year and needless-to-say, he stands at the top in his field. I-Ie is an expert in seeing that all musi- cal, athletic, dramatic, etc. presentations come off at the proper time and place Also to his credit it must be said that besides scheduling them, he also attends them and gets them off to a good start. VAN HURST Junior High School Principal Activities Director ANDREW CARRIER Mr. Hurst, like Mr. Wilson, is a dedicated educator. Everyone ad- mires him for his fairness in dealing with each stu- dent. Among his many out- standing qualities may be added the fact that Mr. Hurst knows perhaps everyone in the school by name. He meets them when they first enter junior high and continues an interest in them until they leave after the six years school residence. - .v,jt,, , W . - V :V I ,Y V Q JI t 'I 5 f 12. . J .

A Message W From The Superintendent The importance of education in the American way of life may be illus- trated by many avenues. Economical- ly, education has been responsible for increasing the National Gross Product from approximately 400 billion dollars at the close of World War ll to some- what over 800 billion dollars 22 years later. The returning G. I. 's completing educational requirements for degrees increased their earning power to such an extent that if our economy were to single out any one item responsible for the doubling of our National Gross Product it would have to be educa- tion. Looking ahead to the seventies, we will see revolutionary changes taking place in the average secondary school. f -- 60-minute classes meeting five times 7 a Week for 36 Weeks will Cease to Superintendent Frazer and his secretary, Mrs. Louise Tosterud, exist. Instead, we will have large ed- begin the daYS WOTR- ucational centers to provide materials and equipment for individualized pupil study. Teachers will become a part of the resources. They will work collec- tively as team members in providing guidance and advice for the individual students. Technology will increas- ingly play an important part in the life of the average high school student. Courses which are now considered applicable to only a few will become subject matter areas for the student body as a whole. Data processing is but one technical course to illustrate this point. What does this mean for teachers? What are the implications for boards of education and administrators in implementing programs with teacher help for the schools of the seventies? In all probabiltiy, the rate of change in education will be far greater in die next decade than in any comparable period since the secondary school came into existance. Those of us concerned with teaching and administration must retool ourselves to meet the demands of tomorrow and must learn immediately how to unilize this 'technical world to provide educational ex- perience to satisfy the needs of tomorrow's citizens. In one respect, it is a sobering thought but in others a most challenging and rewarding experience is in store for those of us Willing to accept this responsibility. Yes, education will continue to be a major item in the economical world of America. I have confidence that the peoples of America will demand and support the upgrading of our educational institutions. We as teachers must, therefore, be prepared to provide proper leadership in these rapidly changing concepts. my , 5, Mrs. Bettie Pankey and Mrs. Lydia Willis being work on the DR. D.W.
