M. EBERHART, PRESIDENT AUGUSTA RAITHEL, SECRETARY Office of Board of Educalion COLE COUNTY DIST. R-l SCHOOLS J. G. EDWARDS, SUPERINTENDENT RUSSELLVILLE, MISSOURI To the Students, Faculty, and Patrons of the Russellville, R-l Schools, The function of any school in any community is to make the community better. We feel that the activities, presented by the students of our schools in this year's THE WAR WHOOP, are most certainly an indication that we are str iving to make the Russell'ville community better. In the past, people have thought of the work of the schools as having to do largely with Hbook learning . We know this phase of school is important. We also know that the modern student must live in a world which has a great range of demands to make:--physical. moral, social, and political. The general training which is the basis of our curriculum undertakes to meet these demands along with many extra-curricular ac tivities which give the student a well-rounded school life I want to thank the members of the student body, faculty, and citizens of the community for the splendid Cooperation and backing they have given the Russellville Schools this year. The Chal- lenge of the world of tomorrow is ever with us. The Russellville community of tomorrow is a challenge to our students today. The encouragement of every parent, teacher, and patron will help to bring joy, contentment, and seCurity to our community. Yours for continued advancement, W Super intendent of Schools
