Mrs. Grace Kenyon and Miss Carol Hauger While it is true that each one of us is responsible for the paths wc choose in life. Coordinators can play a vital part in helping us set our sights, and reach our goals. Through testing, counseling, and frequent checking of our school programs, they keep us headed in the right direction. If we maintain an acceptable scholastic average, get along well with classmates and teachers, and demonstrate willingness and ability in our trades, we may he selected for the senior on-thc-job-training program, or ‘’Co-op”, as it is popularly called. Coordinators work closely with employers as we take our first important step into the future. Sometimes when our paths seem to become long or hard, the Nurse or the Visiting Teacher holds out a helping hand, and after a bit, most of us take up the trail again and follow where our teachers guide us along the path we chose.

Education is a Pathway -Adult Living Education cannot he regarded as completed with the preparation for vocations, whether at the close of the secondary-school period or at the completion of a professional course in a higher educational institution. Whether viewed from the standpoint of social need or of individual development, education is a process which continues through adult life. The development of a program of adult education is a matter of fundamental policy. The opportunities provided must Ik as varied as arc the social and economic needs and the intellectual interests of the total adult population. Educational Policies Commission — Glen D. I ad win MR. G. D. JADWIN, Assistant Principal. Vocational Evenins School. Every year, the Evening School opens its considerable facilities to thousands of adults in the metropolitan Twin Cities. -Technical Training It’s Always a Noteworthy Event when a young child takes his first steps by himself. The fact that he falters and soon falls to the floor does not detract from the importance of this great event. As he grows in stature and ability, he finds that he is ready for other steps, but since each may lead in a different direction, he is faced with the problem of deciding in which direction he is to travel. He realizes the need of advice and guidance in order to direct his activities toward a worthwhile goal. All of us should be concerned about the next steps we arc to take. We should calculate our shortcomings and abilities and measure the size of our steps on the basis of those calculations. It is often good judgment to pause momentarily as we stride through life, to give us an opportunity to seek help from others and set our goals accordingly. Let us always keep our goals clearly in mind so that we need not falter from the paths we have chosen to lead us through the future. — Norman A. Jensen It has been said that The greatest happiness in the world is to make others happy; the next greatest is to make them think. In this day as we face a rapidly changing and complex world, students need to do more and letter planning for their future. Problems concerning government, economics, politics, religion, automation, and national defense make it necessary more than ever that each individual Ik able to think for himself. Only as he is able to do this will he become a useful and happy citizen. Remember you arc today where your thoughts have brought you. You will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you. Whatever your present environment may Ik, you will fall, remain, or rise with your thoughts, your wisdom, and your ideals. Graduates of today will determine through their solution of the problems they face what the world will be tomorrow. — Wilfred L. McGimpscy C93 PRINCIPAL NORMAN A. JENSEN and ASSISTANT PRINCl-PAL WILFRED L. MCGIMPSEY pause during an intermission at the Senior Banquet, Calhoun Beach Hotel.
