, gym MIS. Maloy XJ PRI CIPAL un mama TOTMlHlWOFHh4 The schools in a democratic society have a tremendous task if they are to accomplish their many purposes. Of these purposes the major one is to make the individual socially competent. Social competence means a number of things. lt means learning certain knowledges and mastering certain skills. This simple definition of social competence might be used under almost any type of social order, but here the similarity ends. In a democracy it means further that individuals must learn to live happy, healthy livesg to do well some part of the world's work. lt means desirable attitudes, ideals, intelligent self-control, a sense of fair play, good sportsmanship, con- sideration for the rights of others, and respect for law and order. It means the ability to live successfully, with others, the ability to think, plan and work together for the common good. With these thoughts in mind l would like to challenge the student body to take full advantage of the opportunities being offered to them, not only by the school but by other community institutions. The attitude of students toward school will determine, to a great extent, the type of citizens they will be in the future. C. L. Axtell

UPERI TENDE T me MES.'MlIl to ini CLAS. oi 1954 l greet you as the first class to be graduated from the Scottdale Joint High School. Yours is the enviable advantage of having come under the influence of the traditions of Scottdale High School which have been developing for al- most seventy years, and at the same time having had a part in the progress symbolized bytransition to the Scottdale Joint High School. lt is an indi- cation of progress when three different school districts can pool their resources and jointly op- erate a school system. You should be proud to be part of such an expanding and progressive community. My message to you is to encourage you to adopt the progressive attitude of your parents and to keep the community and the schools of which you are a part moving ahead. No condition in this life can ever be considered as final. Change is the normal order of things. Conditions do not remain static, and it can never be said that any community or institution has arrivedg that there is nothing more to work for. Make no little plans either for your own lives or for the life of the community in which you live. Plan great things, dream great dreams, for it is only as we work to make our dreams come true that we approach the divine purpose for which we are here. l hope your school days have been happy days, and l hope the days ahead of you will be filled with the adventure and satisfaction of living a full life. Your school's efforts will not have been in vain if that is the kind of life upon which you are entering. l offer my very best wishes to you. Clinton M. Puff W iN X' a Mrs. Kimball
