Not only can we distinguish and know of these better things, but we can tell others who are not per- mitted the many benefits of the years spent in this work. Education will make us better citizens. We are given a larger conception of what is going on around us, It enables us to see the advantages offered by community life. One of the important aids of the high school education is the physical training. It gives us strong, healthy bodies. It helps to make our muscles respond quickly a nd to make instant decisions. But above all it teaches us to give and take success and defeats in the spirit of good sportsmanship. The memories of high school tasks with their trials which in those days may have seemed difficult will be in future years but stepping stones to nobler things. Memo- ries of duties achieved, of difficulties overcome will make us stronger to face the temptations of life’s battles. May we all realize that the high school education is but a foundation upon which we build our lives. Ed. THE CENTERIKA One year has passed since the students and faculty of Center High School have published their first high school annual, “The Centerika.” We have had a very busy year at school and we hope it will prove to be very suc- cessful in every respect. We may not be able to notice the good things we have received at school this year or the next but in the future we all will surely be glad that we at- tended Center High School. We hope that our high school education will be valuable to us both in youth and adult life. In “The Centerika” we try to give a cross-sectional view of the work we are doing in the high school. This annual is not published solely for the purpose of demonstrating literary merits but also to show something about the activities of the students and to serve as a written record of the progres of Center high school. This year we have a larger annual made possible by more advertising and the gen- erous support of the people in our community. We wish to thank all those who have shown such interest in us and our school, which to a very great extent determines its success. We are glad that so many people of this community are quick to recognize the need for education. We hope that Center can do things better each year and that each graduating class will prove more and more that the high school is worth while. Ass’t. Ed. THE RURAL HIGH SCHOOL Johnson County has now had the rural high school long enough to make it possible to mark some results. More than 100 students in this county have been attending these rural high schools now for the past five years. Some 25 have been graduated from them. Next school year will find nearly half of this number teaching in our one room schools. Some of these have already taught one year and some two. The work of these be- ginning teachers will compare favorably indeed with similar work done by graduates from town and city high schools. Not a failure or even a half-failure has been graduated from these rural high schools, as yet among those who have taught. Would that as much could be said of those coming out of other types of high schools. I do not believe those who have graduated from the rural high schools are more capable than the others who are following them; therefore, the rural high schools of the county show promises of doing more than their share in improving the work to be done in one room schools in this, their home county.

Vol II May, 1929 No. 1 THE NEED OF A HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION Just what is the need of a high school education is a question which we hear a great many times. But we all can realize, if we stop to think, the value as well as the need of the high school education. The four year period which we spend in high school delays the choice of our life’s work until we have had a chance to see a little more of life. At the end of the eight years of elementary training, very few of us have had the necessary experience to enable us to choose intelligently the thing we want to do for the rest of our lives. Many who quit school at the end of the eighth grade get into one type of work and stay there. Often they afterwards feel a desire to do something else, but because it is too much effort, they continue in the same old rut. In this case, which is just what happens, the delay of four years with the training of the high school might have helped them to decide on a work better suited to them- selves. The social training which we receive in the high school is of unlimited value to us. The banquets, parties, plays, and other social events of the high school help us to know how to conduct ourselves at gatherings of that sort. The training that we vet there helps us to know how to meet people when we get out in the world. It also helps to choose our friends, those who think clearly, fairly, live right and prove them- selves to be of the highest type of American boy or girl, and those whose aim is not to get all from the world they can but to be of as much service as they can to their fel- lowmen. The high school offers opportunity for self development to those students who have the desire to make more of their lives than do the students who stop at the end cf the eighth grade. Today the uneducated person has no chance in competition with the men and women who are educated. The positions offering the highest salaries are open only to those who have at least gone through high school. The different fields of service demand trained men and women. Teachers, doctors, nurses, and missionar- ies must be trained for their work. If we are to attain a position of influence, we must have a high school education. Through the aid of the mental training we are enabled not only to think clearly, Pee eae a ee Eee RR RT oa eae is Uae Ua aU TTI iS aS RS A) () SD ( AAD ( ) EAD ( ) AD) () () A ( ) TD ¢ ) ERED ( ) ED ( ) RED ( ) ERED () = ( ) ENN ( RENRND- () RD- ( ) ETN ( ) RRND () ERED- ( ) EED ( ) SRNERED- () RE () Q ( ) ARENREND ( ) RD () END ( ) ERED () ANNE ( ) ED () ND () ARNE () ER ( ) SERN () ( ) ER ( ) REE () AND ( ) RN () A) AN () (A ( ) A () () () - () () ( ce SS) A) A) ) A) A) A A) A ( A) A) A) A A A A a OO (eam |) a ( SD () () () e () - ( ee PS ARN () E C) ER () ERA C) LER ©) () ) A (I ) () A () A () AR () RE ( ED) ND ( SEND ( ) AD () ED () D- () D(A () D-( 20 0) AE AE ) LE () (DSO (j LUG UC UCP UU URE UE THE CENTERT A a en: oy M0: ) ) AD) EL () AA ( TD ( ) AC) AA ( A () AAD ( ) ED () AR () GARAND ( ) M ( ) CRER ( ) GRD» { ) AER ( GRRE ( ( ) ERED () GRE () GRE Behe paleelee renal ge
