FOREWORD The purpose of this Rustler, 1940, is to present a record of the school life of this year. It is hoped that in the years to come it will help to bring back memories of the happy hours spent at R. H. S. DEDICATION The classes of 1940 and 1941 take pleasure in dedicating this RUSTLER of 1940 to the Teachers, past and present, whose intellectual honesty, able leadership, and genuine manhood and womanhood have inspired so many to the highest ideals of service, learning, and gentility. Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise; which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.”—The Bible. Page 4

Teacher Grade Teacher Grade Teacher Grade Teacher Early Creek School GREETINGS TO THE CLASS OF ’40 The school is for the purpose of providing an opportunity for the individual pupil to act in life situations which are physically whole- some, mentally stimulating and satisfying, and socially sound. The school board has to the best of its ability, tried to achieve this setup in the Ranchester High School. The school board also wishes to extend greetings to all the other pupils in the high school and hope that in the near future they will have the opportunity to congratulate each one in the same manner as they now congratulate the Class of ’40. The School Board. TRAINING YOUTH—DEMOCRACY We who teach—What is our part in the training of youth for democracy ? It is not enough to complete our task with the three R’s, reading, writing and arithmetic, but we must install the technics of communication most needed by a good citizen. For democracy re- quires skilled citizens in cooperative living—working, playing, plan- ning, and making decisions, not simply as obedient followers but as free, self controlled responsible beings. More important is the spirit of democracy centered in deep re- spect for the dignity and worth of every man. This spirit is developed by cultivating consideration and esteem for each individual. It is not easy; it is not spectacular nor dramatic. It will be gained only by giving new purpose and direction to the oft repeated acts of the school day. Page 6 U. J. Korhonen, Supt.
