The men and the women who repre- sent Kane in the management of its school affairs have evidenced the truth of the first sentence in many ways. Everyone has had an education beyond that of the average citizen, every member has had children either who grad- uated from the high school, or who are going to school, each one is interested in the work of the school system, and most take an interest, sufficiently active, to cause them to visit the schools and carefully observe their functioning, The majority of people would be surprised at the special knowledge needed to operate schools efficiently, and a greater number would be sur- prised at the amount of such knowledge possessed by members, as well as the amount of time spent putting it in operation, The operation of a plant corn- prising five buildings, representing a total value of nearly half a million dol- lars and involving yearly expenditures approximating one hundred thousand dollars, is not only no mean task but one which requires a fine sense of values. The Board of Education has always considered its duty to the town ser- iously and has always attempted to give the utmost in service. The present building program was only decided upon after careful consideration and planning. lt should provide a school plant sufficient for many years to come, with respect both to room and to program adaptability. This is being done at a minimum of expense and at a time when it is needed. These investments are made in the hope that you, Class of l935, and hun- dreds like you, might be benefited and trained better to live a life. Vffhat has it meant, what will it mean to you? Teachers have noticed a distinct change in attitude, interest, and effort on the part of pupils during the depression years. This change was not for better achievement and development. Some continued to acquire knowledge and learning, but few laid valuable founda- tions of wisdom. There is still much time left in l936 during which you may re-evaluate your interests, activities, and ideals. This year may still be marked in your lives as the year ambition was born and a start was made to live, work, love, and make life worth living for all you meet. -G. H. RICKERT.
