RESPONSIBILITY FOR SCHOOL POLICY Every pupil is his own most important teacher. He is the only one who knows what he really accepts and what he really thinks. Since you are your own most important teacher, try to do the best you can for yourself. Remember, life gives the final examinations--the ones that really count. And remember, you are often being examined when you have no idea of it. People are watching you. Life is the candid camera that does not wait for you to pose. Set your goal now. You can change later on but start out for some certain place--don't be just driving around. We have just opened the door into the limitless reaches of the universe and we can see just far enough ahead to know that man is at the threshold of a momentous area. Here is opportunity, challenge, adventure so tremen- dous as to exceed anything which gone before. With so many talented young men and women in this year's graduating class we can be sure that America will continue to be great in this limitless frontier because you will take up the challenge and be the wanted leaders of tomor- row-leaders who will have wisdom which knowledge and understanding may bring. It is my hope that at St. James we have helped you grow into the broadest, deepest, most vital person possible with a heightened insight that has made you see more clearly what the world is about, and how you can fit into it creatively and significantly and do your part to help create a better world. I shall miss you, but I am proud to call you my students. Sincerely, A. J. Cole, Superintendent Select objectives--thoughtfully. Choose your associates--wisely. Develop your attitudes--conscientiously. Plan to be something--wholeheartedly. With these goals in mind and having confidence in yourself, you will become a first rate citizen. Congratulations and best wishes. Richard Madson, Principal —

FALLS ON THESE EFFICIENT PEOPLE Pat Olseth Our school board, under the leadership of its president Mr. Ander- son, is now in the process of working out details for our new school. The job involved is a large one, and we are sure that the board and Mr. Cole, our Superintendent, will have a new High School built that we as well as all in the community can be very proud of. Marge Vogt The school secretaries, Marge and Pat (Mr. Cole) and Nancy (Mr. Madson) are almost as well known to us as our teachers and class- mates, for not one of us hasn't had to dear with them in one way or another. Nancy is responsible for our absence slips, and we are all familiar with the voices of Marge and Pat as they give us the day’s announcements over the public address system.
