Each Student Must Choose His Own Path There are many Paths to Tomorrow that we may take, for in a democracy one of the ideals for which we stand is that of Freedom . . . freedom of our choice of vo- cation, freedom to speak our minds, to shape our destiny in the light of our un- derstanding and desires. But whatever path we choose, we can- not help but be influenced by the training in citizenship and in every-day service to each other that we have practiced at Phoe- nix Union High School. Whatever standards of conduct and of thinking that we have had presented to us here have represented much that is good not only for Amricans but for people any- where and everywhere in the world. For we have been taught that our world no longer is bounded by oceans and rivers but extends to the entire globe. Our train- ing in good citizenship must include con- sideration of the World's People too. Supported by a Board of Education that stands for progress, freedom, and all that will advance the cause of world friend- ship, our teachers have guided our steps in the direction of tolerance and under- standing. Once we graduate from school, we leave the direct supervision of our teach- ers, but their influence for good will remain with us for the rest of our days. lt should be education's ultimate objec- tive to build loyal, capable, and foreward- thinking citizens, charged with a fierce de- termination to preserve our Democratic way of life at any cost. That objective will be achieved because administration, fac- ulty, and student body alike have worked toward that goal. We are not surprised to learn of heroic deeds performed by our graduates on fields of battleg we know that what they have learned in their earlier lives has pre- pared them for such roles. By the same token we shall expect worthy deeds and the development of outstanding ideas from our students who do not enter the armed services. All of us here are trained in the cause of Liberty and of Civilization. mos A. Betts, Walter R. Strong, and Joe T. Melczer.

Remote Control Education Bad conditions have a peculiar ten- dency to bring out the best in many of our inventors, industrialists, and statesrnen so that, in spite of evil, society takes a turn for the better. lt was during the terrible influenza epi- demic of 1918 that Mr. C. L. Michael, com- mercial department head, first hit onto the idea of doing correspondence Work. All the schools had been closed and the teachers had kept on giving assignments to be worked out at home. By 1920 our Correspondence Division was a reality, with courses in shorthand and typing being sent to students through- out Arizona. Today, with a faculty of 23 handling courses in English, history, mathematics, business, foreign language- in fact the equivalent of a four year high school education-hundreds of students of COHHE bSnSfjtSpONDEN .

Director Michael declares that corres- pondence Work has filled a need in giving equal educational opportunity to all, re- gardless of their physical or financial con- dition or Where they may live.
