The number one problem confronting America today is: How can we preserve democracy as a way of life? In our attempt to solve this problem, no other institution occupies so strategic a place as the pub- lic school. There can be little doubt that typical American youth will either get a real taste of the meaning of freedom freligious, economic, political, intellectuall through their public school experiences, or will go through life without such appreciations. This means that we need desperately to practice democracy in our schools, each of which can and should be a superior American com- munity in miniature. Every worthy project initiated, planned, and carried on to a successful conclusion by students and teachers together is a significant democratic experience in the school community. This yearbook is the final result of one such activity in the Orland Community High School. While it is hoped that its pages will bring back pleasant memories in years to come, its most important purpose is being fulfilled in 1951--the making of better Americans. VIRGIL HENRY
