0 I 41 0 The term Long-time Val- ues of Education today has greater significance than ever in the history of civilization. Countries whose government- al structures have been found- ed on the principle of keeping the people in ignorance, may prosper for a time, but they quickly crumble when faced with serious problems. Perhaps our country's great- Q est defense against the onslaughts of the present aggresive totalitarian govern- ments, lies in its provision of free public education L. B. MAYFIELD for children of all the people. Down through the years, citizens of the United States have main- tained, often at high cost, free public schools. The broader the knowledge, the saner the judgment and the stronger the urge toward life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. lt seems that now more ' 1 Af O Most of us do not realize what our high school days have meant to us, especially our senior year. When the mixed sorrow and gladness of gradu- ation are over, the class of '4l will dissolve, the bonds that hold it together will be broken, and we shall be on our own. lt is then that our ap- preciation of the people who contributed to this annual will be greatest. Looking over the accomplishments and failures of the year, we can be just as proud, if not prouder, than the classes that have gone before. The foot- ball team upheld the goal set by past years, taking second place in the state championship finals. Certainly we may point with pride to a fighting basketball team, if there ever was one. This team truly represents the tradition that Medford has never been defeated until the final gun sounds. Student government has been satisfactorily and freely practiced. These are only a few of the indica- tions that point to a progressive year, On behalf of the student body l wish to express my appreciation to the faculty, the administration, MAY, l94l -2, than ever, the Long-time Value of Education is proving itself, . Medford, as one of the many communities that comprise our great land, is generously contributing its part toward providing excellent educational op- portunities for every individual. Students today are facing a new era. No longer will the wisdom and ideals of the past adequately prepare us for a full life. Individuals and schools, like business, must face the new order and continue to improve them- selves. Basic principles and knowledge must not be ignored in the new order. This school year, new levels and greater values have been attained by students of Medford high, Horizons have been broadened, objectives better defined, purposes more clearly understood, and the challenge of our way of life made more insistent. Education has led us steadily onward and upward. l am certain that this fine yearbook will recall pleasant memories of student life at Senior high and will be a lasting inspiration to each one of us. LEONARD B. MAYFIELD and the school board of Dis- trict 49, for their friendliness and cooperation that have meant so much to us. I would like to remind you now that, more than ever be- fore, our nation needs honest, -- patriotic citizens The future of this great country depends upon us who are preparing to leave our high school days be- hind. The fate of America will soon be in our hands and ours alone. We must face the fu- ture with the determination and fortitude that have always characterized Americans, and with the valuable background of experience that we have acquired at Medford high, we can face the future unhandicapped and with confidence in our ability to shoulder responsibili- ties.
