OWEN V. SHAFFER Principal Psychology Message F rom Mr. Shaffer The modern high school in America must, if it justifies its existence, prepare young men and young women for life in a democracy. Princeton Township High School has accepted this challenge and obligation. We believe that the best preparation for life in a democracy is the experience of living in a democracy. Thus, Princeton High School strives in every activity to follow democratic principles. In the classrooms, assemblies, and extra- curricular work, students under guidance cultivate their special aptitudes and practice self-control. Princeton High School has always been proud of her students and her students have always been proud of her. May this condi- tion ever prevail in our community.

Message F rom the Board of Education MEMBERS BACK Row DR. O. J. FLINT GUY A. BRYANT, President DAVID E. PAMP FRONT Row RICHARD M. SKINNER, Cleric CAMILLA B. FERRIS The Board of Education for Princeton Township High School has endeavored at all times to provide adequate instruction and equipment for the students of the community. At the same time the Board has tried to keep expenditures to a minimum. We feel that our high school building is one of which the community may well be proud. The stu- dents have done their part in keeping the building in excellent condition and the Board wishes to take this opportunity to commend them for their coopera- tion along this line and to urge their continued co- operation to this end. Our scholastic standards are high and because of this fact our school has three national honor organi- zations. A pupil must be fitted for all phases of life, so we have endeavored to include in the curricu- lum both academic and vocational subjects as well as a variety of extra curricular activities. Our hope is that Princeton may always have reason to consider the High School one of its most valued in- stitutions. 1

CHARLOTTE H. STETSON Assistant Principal Biology Message F rom Miss Stetson Even though we may not always show it, we aim to be true to our Alma Mater, to the ones who sacrificed on these prairies that we, the students, might have an education. Q We aim to develop a sufficiently strong character that we may always have the courage to stand for the right, even though we stand alone. We aim to value all things fairly, to think clearly and with- out passiong not to be deceived by vain words nor empty promises. We aim to be just to all, no matter what their station in life and to do the daily humble task as though a fortune waited its well doing. Moreover we aim to be trustworthy and to give service willing- ly to others.
