The news we hear, read, or see today fre- quently leaves us with a feeling of frustration. Such things as delinquency, embezzlement, and disrespect for the law in general make up much of this news. These tend to remind us that all is not well with our country. We might well ask ourselves, ls this an in- curable situation? Horace Mann insisted that public education would solve many of these issues. Unfortunately, the problems are still with us. It is our feeling that students completing their high school education are in a better position to assist society with these continuing diflTculties. Progress through Communication presents us with one of the major tools to eliminate the problems of our day. Technical and academic preparation are good and necessary, however, the human relation aspect for society is equally pressing - in some cases, more important. We trust that your school program during the year has better prepared you for a positive force in our world. Should this be true, we feel, that our leadership has been a desirable asset. The Pioneer staff is to be complimented for this fine edition of the annual. Our best wishes and congratulations to the seniors as they leave us. Paul B. Wilson, Principal, George W.

TO THE CLASS OF 1964 Reflect for a moment your changing concepts as a member of the class of T964. You should be experi- encing the thrill of space limited only by your im- pression of infinity, you should be aware of history as it happens through the media of telstar and elec- tronics, and you should realize the need for edu- cation as evidenced by our former President, John F. Kennedy: Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education. Our require- ments for world leadership, our hopes for eco- nomic growth, and the demands of citizenship itself in an era such as this all require the maxi- mum development of every young American's capacity. Concepts may be influenced by negative factors such as an assassination, threat of nuclear catas- trophe, appeal of mediocrity, and pseudo faith. You are being asked to save a civilization by up- holding moral and spiritual values and by exempli- fying your greatest intellectual capacities. Thus, we ask that you keep faith with yourself and accept the contemporary concept of new frontiers. It is apropos, therefore, that your yearbook should contain Presi- dent Kennedy's statement: Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country. John C. Dunlap Supervising Principal

BUSINESS MGR.. COUNSELORS SERVE Mr. Campbell adds some of the many school expenses. To any student seeking personal guidance or vocational advice, the doors to the guidance department were always open. There students could obtain personal individual assistance and find ample information concerning college and vocation. Through the sincere and capable aid of Mrs. Mary Kammerer and Mr. Ben R. Eardley, senior and iunior high counselors, respectively, the individual was helped to understand himself better, to realize the opportunity school affords him, to learn basic social skills and finally to explore his own interests and abilities in order to plan realistically for the future. The counselors' largest and most vital task was helping the student to help himself. Responsible for the efficient and economic management of the school district's business affairs, Mr. Donald Campbell, business manager, was an extremely busy man. Some of his duties were managing finances for the district, controlling the inventory for purchasing and buying equipment for new buildings.
