1 if if J I ,f Grace D. Mitchell C. A. Taylor the mistakes that high school stu- dents often make in planning their education. We are interested in you a.nd are willing to help if you will give us an opportunity. Probably no- where in the world are boys and girls so fortunate in having an educational ladder provided for them as they are in America. Real guidance does not mean that the teacher is going to make your decisions for you. It means that your teacher is to help you make these decisions for yourself. In order to help you most, we teachers must know you personally and should be your special friend so that you can come at any time for help on any problem. It might be said that you can provide an educational lad- dcr for boys and girls, but you can- not make them climb. But if you are willing to learn from those who act as your guides, you can build up your character and meet success. The first corner stone of success is character We teachers realize now more fully that you need help in building up the right kinds of interests in learning, in forming attitudes and habits, and in controlling your feelings. The peo- ple who help you most are those who tell you where you are wrong. Teach- ers are interested in every individual and his problems. We do not consider you as one does sheep in a, flock or fence posts along the highway. We are anxious to help you solve those pro- blems, and because of our long train- ing and experience, we are just the ones to do so. Teachers are the chan- nels through which God is made real to other people and on our shoulders lies the difficult but highest task of helping children, young people, and adults to live better lives.

LEADER, FUUND Every organization must have its leaders to be any kind of a success. So it is with our school. Our school must have leaders to be successful. These leaders are found in the Student Council. The Student Council is made up of representatives from the various clubs and classes. The members of these clubs and classes choose as council representatives those students in whom they recognize the qualities of leadership. These, in turn, by the training which they receive as mem- bers of the council, and the confidence which the students have shown in them, develop a greater sense of re- sponsibility. E N H U N D R E D I TUDENT COUNCHi The Student Council serves as a training school for leadership. A rep- resentative of a class speaks and acts for his class when he attends a meet- ing of the council. The President of the Student Coun- cil must also be a leader with whom other members will cooperate. He must be conscientious enough to de- sire the best for himself and his schoolmates. He must have intelli- gence to know what is right and good for the school. He must have enough courage to stand by his principles and convictions. I So it may readily be seen that. for the Student Council to be a suc- cess, it must make itself known by a let's go rather than a you go. A N D F O R T Y
