These boys and girls are the builders of the democracy of the future. lt is they who will influence the policies of our country and govern the land accordingly. It is they who will undertake to interpret, in the true American spirit, what our fore- fathers left the shores of England to establish: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We should be thankful as never before that we are a part of such a nation. Our ideas are being formed in schools unequaled in all the world, in schools where teachers guide rather than dictate, where each pupil is an individual personality rather than a victim of a dictatorship. ln schools where a realistic education is based on scholastic achievement, vocational guidance, and wholesome recreation, the interests of the stu- dent are not unlike those of the whole population of a democracy. Just as an adult en- ioys freedom of press, freedom of speech, free assembly and petition, so does the high school boy or girl. In their school life they have the privilege of reading all types ot books and periodicals. of discussing world as well as personal problems, and of peti- tioning to the principal. Personal liberties are guaranteed by the constitution in our democracy. A dictator wipes out every opportunity of self-expression or initiative. The individual becomes a robot. y Oakmont schools interpret, as far as possible, the idea of democracy. The town has done much toward training its boys and girls for their responsibility as members of a democratic government. Through their academic works, they are offered a healthy mental background for future participation in government. Through the Commercial Department they have the privilege of developing their inclinations toward the busi- ness world. The Manual Arts and Home Economic Department form a nucleus for future activities, and sports and physical education teach clean living and healthy so- cial relationships. School life, as a whole, in Oakmont, as in most any other American high school, helps youthful citizens to live happily with each other and to be ready to do their bit for the progress of the American way of life. ln other words, they learn to live. -Nancy Reed, Editor 'ft3'i'5i' .z1..'f ' ffP5i5?i'1w.'fi:P:ffs2i'.E::ff2:Pwfffs1- ' sg-.-fr--v12- '- 1'121'.ffl,fs-if 1 .wwf- Txit- W E' fir' .1 'Leif il-3f,I,',Tl
