Superintendent of Schools Mr. Olson ' To the students at Webb High: We hear and read much about the fast moving era in which we live. A year ago we were interested in a rocket to Mars, now one is on its way to Venus. More people graduate from colleges and uni- versities now than from high school twenty-five years ago. The com- petition for post high school education is beyond the understanding of most of you. You are living in an age of youth where fifty per cent of the people in America today are 25 years of age or younger. Cars, planes, and trains travel faster than ever before 3 color television is commonplace 5 tremendous strides have been made in the field of medicine, especially in the transplanting of organs. Our way of life has become increasingly more comfortable. With these accomplishments, you face an age of internal conflict, of groups understanding each other, crime rate beyond anything that has been known, areas of disrespect for law and order, slums, hunger, and ignorance. lNhy should this be called to our attention as students? lj That you live with the kind of people that are in this area so that you know how good people act and live. 2, That there are churches that give the moral foundation nec- essary for a good life. 3D That the local government, the health services, recreation areas and the climate are conductive to good living. 4D You are privileged to live in a community that provides you with the kind of training and education that meet the challenges you must face. Yes, you are fortunate to live in this area and attend this school. 7 Mr. Bruss, the assistant-super- intendent of the Reedsburg Dis- trict, is a very busy man. He is in charge of curriculum, which in- volves supervising the planning of courses of study by teachers throughout the school system, in connection with this work he plans inservice days. In addition, he directs the federal programs under the Vocational Act, the De- fense Act and the Program of Government Finance 5 administers the state budget, organizes sum- mer schoolg and gives direction to the building programs.
