Accordingly, he has also wanted to learn about other people. This drive to know has been a basic part of man. One criterion in judging the value of a yearbook is whether the annual does accu- rately and completely cover the major educational developments, social and academic, which occur during the given year. This coverage must be done from the community point of view, for it is the private citizen who will have the most active, the most con- stant interest in the yearbook, and the educational system it represents, because this one book will be the main pictoral history of a school year retained by a number of people. In this, the 1963 AVALANCHE, the staff has made every effort to report and picture the school events concisely and correctly. This is where the theme of the yearbook enters in. The staff feels that the Chinese philosophers, particularly Confucious, had commendable- attitudes toward education, and that their practical applications of these high ideals exemplify wisdom, and genuine concern for the minds of the young. Their many quotations and basic philosophies provide a basic framework on which to build the history of the school. It has also been found that many of the Chinese teaching methods and processes have become our ways of instructing and learning, so again a natural tie is present, one that provides a bond between them and us. But the major concern of any yearbook should not be an attractive cover design, or use of color, or perhaps even theme, for one must bear in mind that an annual, such as this 1963 AVALANCHE, should make immortal by documentation, a year of school and all decisive events belonging to it. --- --' --1-' -' 3-ZAALJLQL ,, . f-.- ' ,-:q:.- .. -.- ,-..
