ARE PROGRESSIVE PRINCIPAL - MR. EARL SINES Let us recognize a basic truth. Success in life is not a destination. It is a journey. Fortunately, this means that no one is obliged to work toward a single distant goal'and be judged successful only if he attains that one objective. As with a traveler, the end of the journey is usu- ally beyond the range of vision, but there is much interest and beauty along the way to reward each day's steps. The happiest journey is not made with downcast eyes which see only tired, dusty feet. It is made with uplifted sight to appreciate the visible panor- ama and with imagination to understand the sig- nificance and to picture what may be beyond. The stars were made for those who look up and whose imagination knows no limitations. May we all have a happy, prosperous journey through life. Your principal, OuJ) £3, 7 0 MR. SINES AND FAMILY Seated here are Earl Sines, his wife, Emma Jean, and their four children: Earl Michael, 11; Stephen Grant, 9; Susan Renee, 7; and Jon Russell. The last offspring was born January 27, 1964, after several weeks of waiting. Our principal's family has helped and encouraged this brilliant and orderly man for three years. We appreciate very much their contribution to his work and deeply thank Mr. Sines for his efforts and accomplishments. 9

OUR ADMINSTRATORS STELMAN HARPER, COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS The nature of one’s job determines, in a large measure, the nature of one’s life. Young people who have acquired a skill or a good basic education will have a better chance at interesting work, good wages, steady employment, and greater satisfaction in life in general. Getting as much education and training as one's ability and circumstances permit should, therefore, be high on the list of things to be done by today's youth. BOARD OF EDUCATION MEMBERS (L. to R.) Lawrence Losh; H. A. Meyers; Miss Eloise Bergstrom; Mrs. June Ann Carr, Secretary; Mrs. Louise Lijienfeld; Harold Parsons, Director of Attendance; Stelman Harper, Superintendent; and William P. Minear. 8
