jenna gfiqlz Salma! ghrfissimo HUBRI-KANEl Again? But not in too much of a hurry. No indeed! For Seniors should not rush thoughtlessly away from the institution of which they have been so long a part. HUBBI-KANE? A big blow? Why not? When you have something worthwhile showing, why not do some worthwhile blowing? Seniors, you seemed to have been in our public schools a long time, but you will be 'out' a longer time. You have received a great deal of 'good' while in the schools, and you can do a great deal of good for the schools while you are out. lust now, suppose we do some of the blowing. For some years the Kane Public Schools have enjoyed an excellent repu- tation among the school districts of the state. This position has been attained only because of the coordination and cooperation of the board of education, the teaching staff, the pupils and the patrons. These several factors, by a sat- isfactory blending of effort and interest, achieved a product only possible under such auspicious circumstances. For years the school board has so planned and guarded its finances that expenditures were always within the bounds of income. This constructive pol- icy has enabled us to provide unimpaired educational opportunities to our youth even during the period of financial uncertainty. For this foresighted program our district has been praised by state educational authorities. The Department of Public Instruction has also congratulated the district upon the fact that the teachers of Kane have or record which is above average both in preparation for teaching and in the number of those who are college graduates. But more important than this, our teachers are noted because they have always been interested in pupil growth. This interest of theirs has al- ways been shown by the manner in which they have assisted in developing checking and teaching techniques, and also by the extra time which they have spent in aiding puils who needed special attention and stimulus. Pupil in- terests have been teacher interests to such an extent that pupils found in them guides and friends, as well as mentors. ' The largest group directly connected with the school is composed of pupils so it has much to do with determining its tone.- Again Kane can 'blow'l Why? Because the boys and girls are generally well-mannered, well-behaved, and interested in acquiring knowledge. That they have good manners and behavior is shown by the fact that we have little serious trouble with either individuals and groups. Seldom is it necessary to correct behavior with se- verity, and discourtesies are at a premium. All are better than average citizens. The standardized tests which have been given, as well as comparisons of work accomplished by those of our number who move to different districts, show that our pupils are equal to or better than the average in achievement. But even to these elements must be added the patrons of the school. These parents and friends have by their interest and support of plans and policies enabled board, teachers, and pupils to carry on under the least possible strain and with the greatest possible results. The patrons of the Kane schools have always been proud of their schools and proved this by oral expression in no uncertain language. No school project has ever failed, so enthusiastic has been the aid of this loyal group. So blow, HURRI-KANE, blowl Blow to the four corners of Kane that the Kane schools dare be proud of their several component parts, that the town is justified in its pride of its schools. Blow, HURBI-KANE, blowl Blow our boys and girls in the earth's four corners, but as they go, blow with them the very best in ideals and ambitions fostered in Kane's schools. GLENNIS H.
