uperinfendenfs Summary In these days of economic adjustment, education is probably being examined more critically than for the past decade. What does education really signify? It gives us facts and information which we call knowledge. These, however, do not in- dicate that a person is really educated, although they are very useful equipment. Education is a process of growth and development that brings about fine changes in our characters and attitudes toward life and society. It makes a person appreciate those things of real worth, for he has power to distinguish things of real value from the worthless. He has the power of decision, because he is able to think for himself. He does not fall within the category of yes, yes, menw, because along with the fine traits of character developed by his education, he has real wisdom. Real education should give a person a more cultured and refined attitude, deepen his sympathies, and make him share in the life of his community in a most wholesome and agreeable manner. Unless education has done that, in addition to increasing the graduateis appreciation of his home, thus making him a more worthy member of the great group of American homes, we may feel that education has not thoroughly suc- ceeded. To the above, also, another essential which ties the finite to the infinite, a definite church affiliation should be added, for after all, the great spiritual values of life add most generously to the real sweetness and light of character. The aim of our high school has been to develop a high degree of scholarship, for as a rule, those who are most successful in high school and college are the most successful in life. We desire to educate for success. The age in which we live is bound to become more and more scientific with the development of a group of super- ior individuals as the leaders. For this coming age of atop-notchersw, Kane High School has been aiming to prepare its graduates both academically and personally. The past year, we believe, has seen rapid advancement made in the appreciation of music and good literature in particular. There has been a finer discrimination made by our high school readers between the things of lasting worth and those that give only temporary value. The school year of 1931-1932 will be recorded as one of the finest in the history of the school. Real happiness in school work, the desire to achieve, diversified activi- ties, a wholesome atmosphere, and a desirable growth of personality and character, have to a great extent, been characteristic of our student body. Very truly yours, R. D. WELCH, Superintendent of Schools. Page F ourtccn 5. M AG'-'ms ' as i

HARIHQZ The Kane Board of Education is the group responsible for the management of our public schools. This board of directors is an honor to our schools because it is composed of seven members whose thoughts direct the betterment of our educational institution'along any line in which there is room for improvement and development. This board must spend a great amount of time and thought upon the ever-rising problems of the school system. These men must have executive ability to administer the funds provided by the state for the maintenance of the schools. They must be impartial and visionary in order to select competent instructors. Business sense is required of them in order to secure and maintain the school property. The members of the board are chosen from the business and professional lead- ers of the community. Small is the reward received by these men for the time and effort they must impart to their various duties. Their time must be scheduled in order to perform their business and outside activities equally well. Because we appreciate their splendid work, we, the members of the HURRI-KAN1-1 staff, in behalf of the senior class of 1932, wish to dedicate this page of our annual to a valiant group, the Kane Board of Education.-J.
