How We Live And Learn At O. H. S. As we, the Class of 1958, leave Orleans High School behind us per¬ haps it would be well to pause and examine for a minute the world in which we find ourselves. Where is the progress of Twentieth Century taking us and how well are we equipped to go there are two ques¬ tions on all our lips. Upon examination we find first a world reaching with uncertain fingers toward the emptiness of outer space. The success of Soviet Russia, in or¬ biting her satellite prior to the orbit¬ ing of an American one has caused increased concern about American schools. People in all walks of life are worried about how well Ameri¬ can education is going to meet the challenge of the Space Age. Certainly the future of our nation rests to a large extent upon whatever progress we are able to make in Science and Technology. Upon this progress our very survival may rest. However, the building of world peace calls for more insights, more values than Science and Technology can give us. Hence the Historian, the writer, the Social Scientist, the stu¬ dent of language, all have a vital part to play in the future of America. Secondly, we see a world half free, half slave, which must of need tur n to America for leadership and guidance if our civilization is going to last. Our Democracy, which de¬ pends so much upon an enlightened
electorate, cannot hope to survive unless schools like ours all over America rise to the challenge. Here in Orleans much has been done and more will be done to meet this challenge. 1957-1958 has been a banner year in the progress of our educational services. Orleans High School, as it stands today, was completed in 1939. Over the years the number of students has steadily increased and will in all probability continue to do so. We have divided one large room into two classrooms and taken to using the Cafeteria for study halls, but beyond this our physical changes have been few up to the present. Far more significant, our curricu¬ lum has been enlarged and diver¬ sified. We are departing from our high school with a greater ability to reason and a greater awareness of our environment than our predeces¬ sors. It is our hope that succeeding classes shall benefit even more from the curriculum changes of the new Regional High School. This year 44 seniors are graduat¬ ing from Orleans High School. Each of us will bear in our hand a diploma. Just what does that signify? Perhaps a brief accounting of the many and varied educational experiences we have shared during the last four years will answer the question.
