A MILESTONE IN EDUCATION Our new school shown here in the various stages of its development, now stands completed a beautiful modern structure. The class of 1960 has the special honor of being the first lo graduate from the new gymnasium. The school, built for a 500 student capacity, relieved a very crowded and inconvenient situation prevalent at the old school. With the introduction of new courses in the school, rhe education program will be much more complete, The fact that the school is functional as well as beautiful is accredited to the architect Raymond Le Vee of Appleton. Our principal, Mr. Gregor and our school board contributed a great deal of time and work toward the successful comple¬ tion of the school. The school is a tribute to the community ' s interest in the intellectual welfare of its children. We the students are more than grateful. Paoe Pouf

MR. GREGOR For eons of time man existed as a savage making little progress. Then in a period of a few thousand years man appeared to awaken from his lethargy and with a progressive in¬ crease sn speed he has pr ojected us into our modern technological race for survival, Education is the basts for this growth and progress. It enables man to build on the foundations and contributions of others. In a single generation it has taken children of parents who lived in a state of savagery and has elevated them to our highest cultural status. Lack of education could reverse the process. History records that in man ' s search for truth it Is inevitable that he will burst his bonds of slavery and make himself free. This truism is borne out so eloquently in the colonial ex¬ periences of the British Empire, Education gives meaning and purpose to life, ft widens perspectives giving broadened visions and new challenges. It gives not only greater satisfactions, appreciations and enjoy¬ ment, but also greater opportunities for ser¬ vice. Science and mathematics with -their associat¬ ed engineering skills are projecting man into new conquests of space, Today his rockets take their place with the planets in their course around the earth. Tomorrow he will establish a base on the moon, Either through splitting or fusion of atoms man has made available almost limitless amounts of energy. It offers a hope of food and shelter to destitute millions. Never in the history of the world has a greater premium been placed on education. More and more the education of a nation ' s people Is being recognized as its greatest na¬ tural resource. It is the resource that will pro¬ bably determine our ability to survive as a free first class nation. The outlook is indeed challenging to the young who are attending our schools, Making the most of their opportunities is not only of importance to them personally but is also a patriotic endeavor.
