mzsgiizta. . I In no other country but America can one be born on the wrong side of the tracks and still become president of the United States. If industry, the will to rise above the host of mediocrity, hard work, and the little talent which all of us have are put to work, there is no limit to the heights of achievements. ' When things become difficult and it seems that we are being overcome by adversities, it is natural not to want to acknowledge that defeat comes from within. How. many people blame the world or scmeone in it for their shortcomings! Just remember that many of our great Americans succeeded under what we would consider insurmountable difficulties. With the right attitude and plenty of determination most people can fulfill their legitimate aims and ambi- tions. Our great country has made it possible for all who are willing to reach the pinnacle of success. America has done its part-all that remains is for you to do yours. S. N. CURRIER The principal reason for going to school is the same this year as it has always been in the past-to get an education. The young people who come out of school with a real education-not just with a smattering of one subject or another-will have acquired not only the best preparation for success in life but also the chief essentials to good citizenship. Good citizenship, including love of country and of oneis fellowmen no matter what race or color, is the most important thing learned by a bcy or girl in school. In the well-conducted school learning what good citizen- ship means is a natural by-product of a child's total school experience. The common school is maintained by all the pecple for the advancement of all the people. It is as symbolic of America as the flag. To maintain and improve our schools is one of your first duties as a citizen, just as one of the primary obligations of the schcol is to teach your children good citizenship. C. M. MUSSER Human beings universally and naturally desire new experiences and a fund of knowledge. We live by commonplace things that are all too frequently unappre- ciated. But is it not true that our living is guided by what we know and what we believe? As our knowledge changes, so do our feelings and actions. As our beliefs change, so do our ways of doing things, our choices of what shall be done, the associations we make, and the outcomes for which we work. To ensure these basic elements of knowledge and beliefs the educational system of our community is operated. A. P. WILDMAN i l

Meeting monthly, this group of men plans the educational program of our schools, sets up the budget of school expenditures, arranges for the collection of tax money to finance the budget, takes care of all school em- ployment, and plans for the future betterment of our school system. Credit for the present high educational level of our schools is due to these public-spirited men and to their predecessors. 6
