Throughout, there is a sense of hope and progress and despite today's pressures and anxieties, inside the walls of the Onteora Central School, the future glows luminously through the eyes of 1,000 young people preparing themselves to cope with a complex world, and perhaps help better it.

work opportunities in this area; he keeps contact with personnel offices of industry and employment offices. He makes the students aware of the wide apprentice training op- portunities set up by the state in the fields and trades of horticulture, machines, build- ing, practical nursing, dental hygiene, beauty culture, laboratory research. Mr. Trap- hagen believes that a large percentage of the student population could go on to colleges and technical institutes if they wanted; even where finance is a problem it could be worked out. The agriculture department has organized a branch of the National Future Farmers of America subsidized by Congress. This is a live organization with conferences and contests. The agriculture department concerns itself with reforestation. It encourages students in their home pursuits. One student has a chicken raising project under way. The teacher calls there to give advice; another student who may be interested in cattle exchanges a visit and opinions with a chicken raiser. The department is planning a small truck garden at the school and also a clearance project, both for the spring. Typing, bookkeeping, shorthand, business law are available in the business school department. The teacher encourages every student to take typing for personal use. He thinks that it might be wise to have a fifth year in business education, where graduated students could come back for a year of intensive study. Even graduates of the academic course could enroll. There are two growing libraries with some 2,000 catalogued books and encyclopedias to date. This is supplemented by large libraries from the state. The librarian, working with student aids, encourages a return to the pre-television interest in reading. She sees the school library as a place where reading habits and experience in the proper use of a library can carry over into the rest of life. The librarian uses student help throughout her program. Centralization has laid a cornerstone for a new era for the children and youth of the locale. They find themselves in larger groups with a greater challenge. Through the guidance department, any who are meeting this challenge inadequately are helped in every way to adjust, through tests of their aptitudes, through conferences with parents, pupils and teachers. Already the so-called slow or fast learner is finding his proper level. Parents are invited and encouraged to a very close contact with the school faculty. Already a young but vitally interested and strong PTA is working in cooperation with the school to help it achieve its aims. Since parents have close contact it is natural that the Adult Education Program should have had a big response, some 500 people registering for courses. Viewing the beautiful auditorium and the spacious gymnasium, their possibilities for neighborly living become apparent and one understands why the Onteora Central School is fast becoming known as the Community School. Behind the scenes of the buzzing classroom the administration keeps things running smoothly. Office routines, boiler stoking, transportation, faculty schedules, the cafeteria, the health of the children—their safety, their attendance ... all are part of the vast network of administration details which concern the Principal and his assistants. What impresses an outsider, meeting with the faculty, is its knowledge of the pupil, its eagerness to help him as an individual as well as to help him find his place in the group, also the faculty's cooperative attitude toward projects of his colleagues.
