6 THE REFLECTOR GREETINGS To the Board of Education and Patrons of District Number Thirty- three, we submit this Year Book as evidence of the development and progress of our schools and community. Our object has been to bring the Patrons into closer touch with each other as well as to the activities of the Schools. The Freshman Class The Junior Class Lois Hallowed Carolyn Graff Racine Spicer Respectfully, The Sophomore Class The Senior Class Dorothea Mattox Philip S. Bright W. H. Foster A. L. Burgoon OUR ADVERTISERS Not because it is the usual polite thing to do, but because of Real Merit and Deserved Patronage, we mention our Advertisers. We have met with Loyal Support and they are the kind who stand back of their goods. PREFER OCR ADVERTISERS TO ALL OTHERS “If I knew you and you knew me— If both of us could clearly see And with an inner sight divine The meaning of your heart and mine, I’m sure that we would differ less And clasp our hand in friendliness; Our thoughts would pleasantly agree If I knew you and you knew me.” J

8 THE REFLECTOR Sadie T. Lamb Eastern South Dakota State Teachers’ College Superintendent of Schools, Sheridan County “Our fathers founded America on the eternal principle of equality of opportunity. It is a part of this democratic movement to guarantee to all, the best there is, so far as they are able to appreciate the best. Education has an appendix—a useful one, in the study of art, dramatics, domestic science, music, vocational and physical training. THE SCHOOL’S BUSINESS IS TO TEACH PEOPLE TO LIVE BETTER. If the appendix just mentioned develops character, health, civic conscious- ness, and a wholesome use of leisure time, it has justified its place. Every football or basket ball victory, every champion speller, every penmanship award, every County Fair and Boys’ or Girls’ Club triumph, every musical, literary or dramatic effort, actuates interest in the school, generally. And largely because schools have been vitalized, there are today, 14% of the school enrollment in high school as against 1.1% forty years ago. There are 82.8% of the children between the ages of 5 and 17 in school as against 65% forty years ago. The length of the school term has increased 30% and the average number of days attended by each child has increased over 100%.
