In what ways will it better serve not only youth but all the people of Stafford? We cannot see beyond the present but the gradual improvement of our offerings through the years betokens future gains We may reasonably expect curriculum enrich ment to include the introduction of art the expansion of our music shop health home economics and driver edu cation programs If we follow the national trend there will be marked growth in adult education as an extension of the high school program Partnershxp between school and com munity as expressed by parent teacher type organizations will probably attend and promote all other changes All credit to the past, the best is yet to be QU-'nun-.1 Q.
