That all the children of all the people should be given an opportunity for tree education. That curricula must be planned so that each individual may attain the highest development of which he is capable. That a curriculum must keep step with progress and growth. That a child's day-by-day training should pro- vide training for adult life. That equal opportunities for all children should be provided. That extra-curricular activities adapted to in- terest and talents should be provided for all stu- dents. That pupils should select their own leaders within the prescribed standards of eligibility and help to set up their own programs of education. That an organized program of discipline makes for an abler and happier student body. That a child's personal equipment, health, safety, ethical character, recreational interests, and intellectual abilities shall be both provided for and guided. That each child is due to experience some de- gree of success. That a child should be prepared and aided to an adiustment to life. That a faculty should know the complete school program through testing, office records, and per- sonal, home, and parent contacts. THAT THERE SHOULD BE CLOSE COOPERA- TION AMONG SCHOOL, COMMUNITY, AND HOMES. lThe philosophy of our school, expressed in this creed, is taken from the student handbook, the LION'S ROARJ

The achievement battery, which was given first, helps teachers evaluate work done in the past and plan work to be done in the future. ln addi- tion to these tests, vocational inventories were made to help students determine their vocational preferences. This constituted the first of a continuing accumulation of information on our students. The second event was the introduction of a new type of report card. The Lafayette Parish Principals' Association worked for two years on information resulting from a survey of all principals in the parish, and formulated three cards-for primary, ele- mentary, and high school levels. Although the cards have been especially well- received, the Association, always ready to progress, has decided to make minor revisions to perfect the card for the corning year. bww'

My ,Q-. N 1 Xi is MR. L. A. BERGER, Principal The Lion's Din has become one of the most outstanding of high school annuals: to produce it, the editors and sponsor must do untold amounts of work. For their labors they deserve the thanks of students and faculty alike. The book will give pleasure to you who study the pages when they are new and will recall many happy days of youth when in later life you peruse its pages.
