Superintendent MR. J. O, PHILLIPS The chief purpose of education is to help individuals become increasingly self- directive and capable of creative and purposeful living. The human personality is not fixed at birth by inflexible factors of heredity: rather, it grows and develops as the in- dividual lives in interaction with his environment. Heredity does set some limits to this growth, of course, but within these limits the possibilities are varied and rich. Every individual should be helped to study and under- stand himself as a unique personality, growing, changing, and developing in constant response to the pressures and stimuli of the time and place in which he lives. Knowledge of self can help him become increasingly confident, resourceful, and capable of planning for himself and taking the initiative in adjusting to his environment so as to make his life more satisfactory. Some individuals are handicapped, it is true, by physical or mental deficiencies which restrict their progress in maturing into able, serene adults: but these cases are exceptions. Modern psychologists hold that the vast majority of people are capable of growing and of adjusting, at their own level of adaptability, to the demands and opportunities which surround them. The seniors have worked hard and have made this yearbook possible for this school. They are finishing one step in their career and are adjusting to future needs. We wish for them a satisfactory life.

gs l s l 1 F About one hundred years ago John Soule said, Go West, Young Man. Horace Gree- ley elaborated this quotation, which was good advice to those hardy pioneering young people of the mid-nineteenth century. Pioneering then had its geographical lim- its. Those limits have been reached. I believe that if either of those great men lived today his advice would be, Go to school, young people. There still remains even greater opportu- nities today in pioneering, not in lands, but in science, sociology, and government. The world needs young men and women to meet this great pioneering challenge. My message, then, is very simple, Be prepared. High School Principal ff A X P MR, JAMES T, BARNETT The BULLDOG comes to you again with a pictorial history of the current school year. It is a record of work well done.
