S Q PTIKIST SCHOOL BOARD DR. J. C. STRATTON, President R. H. SNYDER, Clerk J. L. GLASS, Vice President W. A. HARRISON G. I.. KEMP To the Students of Mifldletown High School: Each year new faces appear in the Student Body, and new courses must be developed and old ones revised to meet the needs of the times. The old system gives way to a new and improved order of things, and with each change, there is opened a better and broader opportunity to equip yourselves with a good basic education. This will prepare you for almost any vocation you may choose for your life work, and your education here should be a good one upon which to build greater things. Your tasks are often irksome and seem unnecessary, but before you have been out of High School very long you will come to realize that here you have learned how to face many of your problems. Your opportunity for education is better and the needs much greater than ever before. You do not come in contact with the members of the Board of Education very often but we always want you to have, at your command, the means of acquiring a modern and useful fund of knowledge. We want you to have access to the best and are always striving to furnish such a school. Here you lay the foundation and build the character that will carry you onward to success. J. C. STRATTON.
