Our Principal Speaks THE AIMS OF THE PONCE DE LEON HIGH SCHOOL in general may be said to coincide with those of any good educational institution: to enrich the lives of those enrolled as students and to better fit them for the larger duties of citizen- ship in the world outside the school. As a result of the somewhat unique character of the com- munity in which our school is located, the problem of our high school is mainly one of preparing its students for college or other advanced study. This s-ituation has placed emphasis in the curriculum more upon the liberal arts and the sciences and less upon courses of strictly vocational character. The school aims to provide its students with a good educa- tional and social training for life and, to this end, numerous opportunities for participation in clubs, publications, dram- atics, debating, musical and literary organizations are aforded. Our traditions and our ideals.Ano picture can record. The achievements of learning and the attainment of character no artisfs pencil can portray. But the scope of our educational program, charm and beauty of our campus, and something of high school life may be partially shown. These we unfold before you. 9 0 0
