Richfield High School - Aurean Yearbook (Richfield, MN)

Page 13 text:

It is most appropriate that the Annual staff has chosen for its central theme the symbol signifying high achievement. Serious reflection indicates that this choice is more realistic than symbolic. Our infant high school was dedicated from the start to quality performance, high achievement, and excellence of accomplishment. The above is not an idle statement. One must merely review the records of our high school since its existence which is a matter of a little over six years. In an area of the state where competition in education and its affiliated activities is very keen, students of Richfield High School have made an outstanding record. One of the most persistent problems facing school people is the acceptance and the development of the differences among individual pupils. It appears to me that our faculties have continually had an unusual awareness of this question. Pupils are thought of and treated as individuals rather than as impersonal masses. Such provision for individual learning experiences has brought out the best in every pupil. It has developed enthusiasm for the activity and a commitment to participate to the fullest. Let us merely call attention to some of the achievements which have been accomplished by our students. In scholastic competition we have had individuals who have ranked with the highest, but the over-all achievement of the total group tells an even more thrilling story, viz., that the quality of education achieved by each individual is the best that his potential has allowed him to perform. Only by comparison with students of other high schools can we tell how good a job we are doing, and here we can look back over our short history and recall the many honors won in speech, dramatics, the various branches of athletics, instrumental and vocal music, etc. Nor has school been all work, for the homecoming events and the variety of other social events have developed further the individuals of our student body that they might the better sell their intellectual wares to society. The many facets of our educational system leave no student untouched —by creating a total educational climate, he is nurtured to the fullest. The Aurean staff is to be congratulated upon conceiving the idea of delineating the quality of our school through the symbolism representing high achievement. It is good that such evaluation go on continually and that it be made in many ways. Ours is a proud record, and it is well for all of us to know that record, that future generations of students will continue to accept the challenge and Hold high the banner of Richfield High. 9 HARRY E. RUMPEL, Superintendent
