In the following pages we portray the ties which link our school to our community. Through such agencies as the Night School, the Parent-Teacher As sociation, theYouth Center, civic associations, our churches and other organizations, we hope to realize our ultimate aim of making the school a necessary and valuable part of the community; a place where ideas and ideals may be exchanged, where ins truetion and interests may be developed. We want the people of our community to realize that the school plays an integral part in their lives. We, the future citizens of Oceanside, are dreaming of an enterprising community in which to fulfill our hopes. We envision an even closer tie between the school system and the community. We believe that a changing world requires this growing spirit of cooperation and understanding. To the future of Oceanside, we dedicate the 1944 Spindrift. 5

THE BOARD OF EDUCATION The Board of Education has been described as ‘the link between the State Legislature and the people of the community . This is an excellent description, for the Board interprets State rulings and applies them to OHS. At the monthly meetings such matters as the annual school budget, community projects involving school cooperation, new courses tobe introduced into the curriculum, cases in which the welfare of the student are involved, are the chief topics of discussion. This year, the Board has concerned itself with postwar plans for Oceanside High School, and has taken an extremely active interest in the new Oceanside Youth Center, the ‘Club Zanzibar , making it possible,thru the generous aid of its members, for the youth of Oceanside to carry on such a project. The men who serve on theBoard have been recognized by their community as its most outstanding members, and have proved their worth in handling the affairs of the school capably and well.
