X Report on the Springdale High School Evaluation The school year l949'50 was spent by the faculty of Springdale High School in trying to see our school as others see it. Faculty and com- mittee meetings were held at least once every week. Results were interesting and stimulating. The whole structure of our school and the curriculum were probed more deeply than ever before in the history of the school. This in itself could not help but prove valuable. The three days of january I6, l7, l8, l95l were spent in a critical, comprehensive evalu- ation of the school by a committee of l9 out- standing educators. The committee was com- posed of college professors, school administra- tors, and teachers. The following areas of study were examined by the committee: Philosophy and Objectives, Pupil Population and School Community, Curriculum and Courses of Study, Pupil Activity, Program, Library Ser- vice, Guidance Service, Instruction, Outcomes of the Educational Program, School Staff, School Plant, and School Administration. The committee visited classes, talked with individuals and groups of students, examined all the school records and files, examined the school building, and pryed into every activity and event that takes place in our school. They were not able to find many things wrong with our high school. Most of the comments made in their report were commendations. The student body should rightly be proud of itself. The committee had nothing but good to say about our students and commended them many times for their courtesy, civic pride, loyalty, cooperation and attitude. My personal thanks goes to all the people who helped make our evaluation a success. ALFRED 15. JACQUES, Principal

You have learned how to speak and express your thoughts and how to solve problems in mathe- matics. You have studied the beginnings of this nation and the people whose dreams and sweat and blood gave us our heritage of free- dom. You have learned something of the mechanics of government and the responsibil- ity of citizenship. You have learned a little about cooking and sewing, wood and metal work, and something ol' music, art, and chem- istry. These things you have learned from books, and your progress in this learning has been duly reported to your parents each month, so they might share in your problems and triumphs. But there are other things you have learned, 11ot from books, but from everyday association with your teachers, your classmates, and your family. The benefits of these influences can- not be accurately measured, nor can their sig- nificance be seen in the reports made to those interested in your development. However, the effect of this unmeasured knowledge on your future will be just as positive, just as dynamic, and just as satisfying as that of your regularly scheduled classes and accordingly reported grades. Xvhat is this learning that did not come from your books? First, you have learned to get along with people, make adjustments to conform to reas- onable desires of your classmates and friends. You have learned to apply logic and reasoning when differences of opinion exist. The ability to get along with people is essential, for even lf. H. jonxsox. Przaviflrril E. .L Cwsm.

You have learned to accept and carry out responsibility, not only for meeting classwork and study schedules, but also to do your part in making your class one of great promise. In sports and other extra curricular activities the carrying out of your individual assignments and your support of class programs and ob- jectives has helped prepare you for your future. The willing acceptance of responsibil- ities and the diligence in discharging those responsibilities are essential to success in any endeavor. You have learned to accept defeat, to sur- mount obstacles, and come back fighting. This is the quality that has given our nation a great past and will give it an even greater future. You have learned to govern yourselves and accept proper authority. You have learned to analyze your group problems and determine the best way to reach your group objectives. Never forget that you are a vital part of the community in which you live. You and your neighbors are the community. You must each take an active part in its affairs. You must work and sacrifice to keep the freedom you have inherited. Your future success and happi- ness will be directly proportional to the effort you put into your lifework, into your church, into your living with and for others, and into carrying your full share of the burden. If you have learned these lessons well, you cannot help but succeed. E. A. CASEY, Vice-President of the Board of Education
