Mr. R. Lester Springer District Principal Congratulations on the publication of another excellent edition of The Lance. A yearbook serves both as a historical rec- ord of the school and its activities and as a mirror to reflect the aspirations of its staff. Your theme, The Gay Ninetiesf, indicates a belief in the immediate future as one of good times,', happy-go-lucky attitudes, and confidence in the theory that all's right with the world. I hope that your high school education has prepared you with an outlook of con- fidence in the future, a zeal to strive for success - both moral and material- pleasure in hard work resulting in deep in- ner satisfactions, and a willingness to work for a world that provides peace and hap- piness for all. Then there will be a close relationship between the Gay Ninetiesl' and the Sen- sational Sixties. I extend my very best wishes to every one of you for the fulfillment of all your dreams and aspirations. Robert L. Springer Principal of the District November 1959 'llivf Mr. Alfred B.

Mr. Samuel Nadler District I6 Democracy is a competitive way of life. It progresses over the years in Hts and starts, sometimes losing ground, sometimes gaining, but always the long term trend is forward. It is not especially efficient, but endures because it is true to life. People are instinctively competitive and selfish. Young children show these traits most obviously. Our society has laws to protect us from those who disregard the rights of others. However, we try to main- tain the maximum amount of individual Mr. Thomas F. Eakins, jr. freedom. This can best be achieved in a Diflfiff 5 democracy, and under this form of govern- ment we have achieved our present devel- opment. Education also is a competitive thing. . n in ,Q The opportunity to learn is a right which Mr- Wlulam RYdef U T3 y you have, You must use this right to the Prmdent' Duma I6 M fi degree that you are required to attend A school. But those who accomplish most, 2 do so because they take full advantage of Mr- John Miller their opportunity to learn. Dimict 5 We must all compete with others to achieve anything worthwhile.

Because of this incredible increase, the responsi- bility of providing an education which can include these advances has fallen almost entirely upon the school. Central High School District :ii2, consisting of six junior and senior high schools, has met this challenge with much success. Its program has been planned through the efforts of many men and women, who have spent much time and thought to give the young people of our community the type of education which can be a great asset to their futures. This is the main object of the Subject Area Co- ordinators. It is their function to insure the standardization of the curriculum in the schools throughout the district. In this way high standards are maintained and all students are given an equal opportunity to achieve the same levels of work which are essential in our present age. We seldom see the coordinators since their of- fices are located in Sewanhaka but we are all able to reap the fruit of their labors.
