Our free public school system has become our heritage through the labors and sacrihces of countless numbers of brave and uuseltish men and women of the past. To guard that heritage and to constantly improve thereon each school district regularly elects men or women to serve on its lcoal Board of Education. Men or women thus chosen assume a tremendous responsibility. They are, so to speak, the guardians of that communities' most precious possession-its children. No school board member wishes to pass on to his successor, a poorer school system than was passed on to him. Therefore, he is constantly challenged to improve his school's curriculum, methods of study, and general management. All the while, he must be courageous and alert, because his ellforts are constantly being challenged by those who are not interested in his school or his communities' children. Jackson-Liberty has always had men- able, courageous, strong, and willing to assume this responsibility and to work un- ceasingly for the improvement of her school. To you-Mr. jones, Mr. Kassiug, Mr. Grove, Mr. Kline, and Mr. Shultzfwe wish the very best of success in your efforts to meet every need and every challenge. Your remu- neration will be small-your thanks perhaps lesswbut your joy in doing well au important service will be your reward. We, the seniors, honor you, respect you, and thank you for all the courtesies, and services extended to us during our school days.

Our Superintendent WHY ARE WE HERE? Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey, Where wealth accumulates, and men decay. H. G. Wells said that we are in a race between education and catastrophe. Sometimes it seems that people are determined to lie down like the hare and let catastrophe run on to the end of the course. We accomplish so much less than we might because we will not push ourselves to work and use the good and beautiful that are within our reach. We are heirs to the greatest heritage, ma- terial and spiritual, that was ever the good fortune of a people to inherit.Students of 1948, and those classes that follow, let's cherish it, use it to our growth and to the enrichment of all, and accomplish this great task by doing each clay a good job of learning, of living, and of helping our friends to do likewise. That is the task we were born to do. That is why we are here! Elmer E.
