I'.ViK TIIIRTKKN The Open Door Stand in the open doorway of your home and contemplate the multitude of sights spread before you. Close the door and contrast the meagerness of the outlook. As the open doorway is to your vision of nature, so is the high school to your outlook on life. For the first six years in the grades children are taught the elements or fundamentals of the traditional readin’, writin', and ’rith-metie” together with a few other subjects considered as basic or elementary. The next three years are being considered as more or les-of an exploratory period for the pupils and are classed as the junior high school period. Here pupils are given an insight into many of life's activities. The three years following this constitute the senior high school years. This book, prepared for you by the Class of 10 8, mirrors in some degree the activities of Jefferson High School during the present year. The section devoted to the classes represents the scholastic activities. This naturally comes first because of its major importance. The subjects studied perfect the ability to handle the fundamentals, giving a broader knowledge of the world about us and improving the ability to communicate and read so we may continue to learn and grow mentally all through life. They open up new lines of thought and action, doors leading to opportunities in life hitherto unknown. They give us tools in the form of special knowledge and skill that may lead directly to life vocations. Manx of the subjects studied in the classroom, as well as the extra-curricular activities, pictured in the book, lay Ihe foundation for a cultural and social development which may largely influence our future success in life. Life is not a matter of dollars and cents alone. An education limited strictly to vocational training would he poor indeed. The ability to get the most out of life in enjoyment, service, and satisfaction in work well done is of inestimable worth. All of this high school training aids materially in developing. The real test of the training received is how one lives after graduation. So far as actual knowledge gained or facts stored up is concerned there is little of that compared to what comes later in life. But with the aid of tools, habits, methods, and ideals here acquired, the high school graduate should go into his life's work with the ability In learn and grow far better than one not so trained. The doorway to life's opportunities will inevitably swing wide for him revealing its limitless possibilities. Karl C. Maclnnis.
