DR. ALEXANDER President LYLE GINTHER VICTOR BRYA JEAN POWELL Office Girl 1 The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think than what to think, rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves, than to load the memory with the thoughts of other men. Education is growth. It is growth in knowledge, personality, and judge- ment. Through class work and extra- curricular activities Laingsburg School has attempted to foster this growth. For many, this guided growth is finished. It now becomes the respon- sibility of each graduate to continue the development of these attributes. When this growth ceases, atrophy sets in. 2 KEITH REED, SR. B. S.; Wayne University, Master Degrees from University of Michigan MRS. WALWORTH Home Economics, Physical Education RAYMOND O. NASH A. B.

The most striking example was the showing at the DeWitt game which cost the Wolfpack the honor of claiming the Championship all by themselves.
