FILE TWO-EDUCATION Education in its widest sense includes everything that exerts a formative influence, and causes a young person to be, at a given point, what he is. — Mark Hopkins The Shields Creed I believe in Shields Hig,h School as an instution founded by the people of this community to produce good citizens by teaching them the principles of conduct and the fundamental knowledge which will be essential for success in life. As times have changed since the organizing of Shields High School in 1870, the school has also changed; but it has constantly sought to give students education of the highest quality. It believes that the highest service it can render is to help students lay a solid foundation for life; consequently Shields High School emphasizes personal growth, development of a student ' s special talents and skill, and independence of thought. Shields High School prides it- self on the different courses of- fered to meet the desires and needs of each student: Academic, Com- mercial, General, Home Economics, Industrial Arts, and Vocational Ag- riculture. In order to graduate from Shields High School, the student must have thirty-two credits, in- cluding two majors and two minors. A major is three years or more of work in one field, and a minor is two years of work in another chosen field. This well planned educational program makes Shields High School very outstanding. The school meets the requirements of the North Cen- tral Association for a fully a- ccredited school. FOR MORE DETAILS SEE PAGE 13 Page Fi.
