M E : i 1 'Nr' 'Qgu-, new Superintendent L. E. Thorson 'As teachers, we are living in a period of cynicism. we are bombarded by false prophecies.

It re - mains that if teachers remain stead- fast to the ideals of their profes- sion, they will be able to have the courage to resist these pressures and to justly speak of those things they know as being true.N School Board 'N-W Principal H. G. Edwall nTry hard to put in practice what you already knowg and in so doing, you will, in good time, discover the hidden things which you now ask about, Practice what you know, and it will help to make clear what you now do not know,U Mr. Floyd Peterson Director Mr. Floyd Monahan Chairman Mr. Oscar Trautman Director Mr. Thomas Kelly Treasurer
