ADMINISTRATION As you turn the pages of this senior yearbook you get a survey of some of the highlights of high school life. These pages emphasize the fact that the four years in high school are important years of wholesome living which give youth happy experiences and strength and vision to face the future. The objective of high school is to develop youth into better citizens who will live in a democ- racy. One of the vital questions is what are the activities carried on in high school doing for the young men and women who are participating in them. It is hoped that students master the fundamental subjects so they can continue their education, that they develop good health habits and wholesome mental attitudes, and that they will be able to assume the political responsibility demanded of good citizens.

Consideration for the rights and feelings of others must be a matter of course. The sacred things-religion, freedom of the individual, freedom of living in every phase of existence-must be cherished and maintained at whatever cost. It is hoped that all our students participate fully in school life. that they acquire while here the individual initiative and the appreciation of the rewards of successful efforts that come only to those MR.
