ODAY we are living in the atomic age, involving a myriad of changes that are a challenge to youth. Education is a mighty force, and, if used effectively, young people can be trained to utilize these new discoveries and inventions properly for the benefit of mankind, rather than its destruction. Educa- tion in ideals must not lag behind scientific progress, or youth will have inadequate preparation to meet the demands of the future. Greater attention must be given to health, character, and the ability to cooperate. Education is an investment in democracy, if proper training is given in citizenship. The eighth grade is an important step in this training for here we have received the fundamentals of our future progress. Our English classes have given us not only the basis for literacy but helped us to inter ret l'f h , - - p 1 C, t rough composition and literature. Mathematics is necessary to finance, but application of its train- ing in accuracy is imperative. Social Studies is vital for it has shown us the importance of intelli t , gen citizenship, and our relationship to other nations in the western hemisphere. Art or music may provide a career for some of us. Current Events kept us informed in the present Jroblems f th ld h I - o e wor t at point the way to the future. Health and Physical Education have helped us to keep physically fit. We have also become aware of harmful practices which may injure our health. Safety education has taught us to cope with the dangers of the coming age. VVe have had enjoyment and also valuable training in music activities and sports for proper use of our leisure time. The eighth graders are very proud of their members in both music and sports for many boys and girls have taken an active part. ln homeroom meetings we have learned to speak our views before others and have Gained - . f l d ' ' ' l'Il0CI'3.Cy. , g a sense o ea ership and cooperation valuable in our de- Thus we believe that our education in the eighth grade will be effective as fundamental training if the basic knowledge and patterns of conduct are properly applied to meet future demands. All its activities have played an important role in our lives. Wie hope that an appreciation of the values of our training this year will help us, as the years progress. as citizens of tomorrow, to take our part in fulfilling the promise of our country's greatness in the future.
