VVe can never be grateful or appreciative enough to repay her for her help in leading us upward from the pits ot ignorance and despair to the golden fields ol' knowledge and faith. Therefore we take this opportunity to express our heartfelt thanks to such an ad- mirable person-one who has achieved one of the greatest honors - that of being called friend Miss NORMA STEINES, BA., MA. FUREWURD The yearbook staff presents lor your approval the Mascrmtun, the annual publication of lVlascoutah Community High School. By means ol' pictures and articles we have tried to present to you a description ot our school life, curricular as well as extra- curricular. The minds ol' our students are trained by their scholastic pursuits. The characters of our students are greatly inllluenced by the various clubs and organizations existing in our school. Each scholastic, social, and athletic pursuit adds something vital to the development ol' boys and girls. Taken together, these activities train students for better home lives, more productive leisure time, and more successful vocations and careers. Bovs and girls also learn how to work together, cooperating with their fel- low students. May you always find great enjoy- ment in the recollection of fond me- mories that this book records.

The extra-curricular activities offered in Naseoutah Community lligh School include the publication of a yearbook, the Museoutang the monthly newspaper, the Ili-Litas: a student council, a band: choral groups: Future Farmers and Future llomcmakers of America, draniatics, Girls' Athletic Association: a photography club, and baseball and basketball teams, In the future the school grounds, covering HW acres, will be used to full advantage, since provision is to be made for a track, a baseball diamond, and tennis courts. In our high school the aim of all teaching, curricular as well as extra-curri- cular, is to fashion young adults into responsible, wellfinformed, and cultured citizens, who are able not only to apply their knowledge and skills in their daily oe- cupations or professions, but to use their leisure time to full advantage. Education is the process of preparing to live harmon- iously, happily, and successfully with one's fellowmen. To be a well-rounded individual one must be developed physic- ally, socially, mentally, and morally. The curriculum and clubs in the high school are all based on this philosophy of ed- ueation, The members of the Board of Educa- tion and Mr, Wiley B. Garvin are to be congratulated for their foresight, astutel ness, and self-sacrificing perseverance in planning an ultra-modern high school, in providing the best educational and recreational facilities and guidance for the youth of Mascoutah, ln short, for making all our dreams a reality.
