All of these represent a large investment which can be utilized by students who avail themselves of an opportunity placed at their disposal. Your high school curriculum is planned to give each of you a variety of tools which are available to you if you choose to use them. Educational tools can be sharpened to a fine edge, enabling you to achieve success in your dealings with people. Your tools are your equipment for successful living. Choose them carefully and use the best. People are not paid solely for having trained minds but their success is measured by their ability to use them. What the future has in store for you depends in a large measure on what you place in store for the future. E. H. Wendlandt Superintendent of Schools Superintendent MR. E. H. WENDLANDT B.S.
