(Mr. Warren, Miss Mc Intyre, Mrs. Sorensen, Miss Murray, (Dick Tyler, Billy Johnston, Leonard Muller) The Honorable Reginald Sorensen, M. P., Genie Loupret) Our esteem for our teachers, for the information and ideas we discussed and absorbed, for the books we used, has grown yearly, until now we can see in clearer perspective the worth and scope of our high school career. We believe that the sooner this respect grows upon a class, the better use that class will make of its remaining school life. This is our reason for establishing respect for learning as one of our chief standards. What did we learn? Not only facts, but methods and procedures that could be used to advantage in many situations: how to address a group with composure; how to marshall ideas and information in logical sequence to find the answer to a problem in trigonometry or American history.

Perhaps our increased ability to express ourselves in music, art, or writing was one of the most valuable of the gains from our schooling. Certainly our contact with the inspired literary minds of the past gave us greater insight into the achievements of the human race. And so our respect for learning brought many advantages, whatever our interests and talents: knowledge of the subject matter itself; social and democratic procedures used in the classroom; prac- tical training of the laboratory, the shop, or the typing room.
