FOREWGRD E, the Hi-Lites Staff of 1951, have chosen as the theme for the yearbook the working of the executive branch of the Federal Government. We have made our school a minature executive branch, with our principal as President, the Board of Education and the classes and activities as the different depart- ments of our government. In carrying out the theme we have learned more about how a democracy works. Our school is really a small scale democracy. We have leaders and top-ranking citizens in our school. The students have a law making body of their own in the student council. Democracy can continue only as long as its people take an interest in their government. Our youth are the bases of a democracy. Through education they will become the leaders of tomorrow. By going to school and partici- pating in extra-curricular activities, they pre- pare themselves for the job ahead. Our school has done and is continuing to do a good job of preparing its citizens for tomorrow. 3
