MR. JOHNSON Education is the cornerstone of any democracy. In order for our form of government to survive, the members must be informed. With the advent of the right for all eighteen year olds to vote in a federal election, it is even more significant that students realize their potential to critically analyze the maze of fact and fiction which is so prevalent in our world today. Progress is inevitable, but those who are truly educated will be the driving force which will reshape our future lives. The youth of today are in an enviable position. At no time in our history has the climate for change been so in evidence. Will you be ready? MR. WES LEY JOHNSON Assistant Principal Second Semester MR.

MR. EDWARD SANDERSON High School Principal administration IVlFl. SANDERSON I encourage every student to be all that he can be and do all that he can do. Life is but a short space of time given to each of us to accomplish a mission. There is a purpose for every living thing and each living thing must fulfill that purpose. Now is the time to discover that purpose and to prepare ourselves to accomplish that change. Nineteen seventy-one must be used to accomplish our individual missions. .. 'D l.- W., Ae--L -rx V - t ri X 'Q ,-,, 'A lg A lvlnclaas if ig , , The word education comes from the Latin word l 7 educere which means to bring out or to draw out. In the elementary school we provide experiences which will draw children into wider interests so they may feel that they are a part of a wider world. Education is the escalator to maturity, the means by which each individual prepares to take his appropriate place in society. When Confucius was asked to describe what he considered the most beautiful sight, he answered, The most beautiful sight in the world is a child going confidently down the road after you have shown him the way? This is our purpose - to show the young the way down the road to maturity. MRS. JEAN KOENIG Build- ing Principal, Nliddleport Elementary MR.
