It gives a person the greatest amount of security. A person is never completely nor perfectly educated but one can always strive to be better educated. Education is insurance toward better citizens, toward greater earning power, toward better communities, and toward preventing future unemployment. This is a non-cancelable policy. Once you have obtained it nothing or nobody can take it away. I sincerely hope that you have subscribed to this insurance policy and that this school has. in some small way. helped you in meeting life’s challenges. 8 Faculty ALLEN BATES - B.S.E.

Every man, woman, and child, regardless of his station if life, or means of livelihood, is concerned daily with business transactions. Business Education equips him for better handling of these transactions. Therefore, we believe that it is a basic part of preparation for life to have this training. It should be thought of as a vocation and a way of enriching and broadening your experi- ences in life. Vocational Classes These two vocations prepare the students for job occupation. Students are trained by actual experiences of working on cars and building things.
