1 Principal W. Edwin Coon A.B. Allegheny ' M.Ed. University of Pittsburgh Principal's Message F' S' Anderson The modern school is designed to care for the all-around development of its students. In it, the emphasis is placed on a healthy mind in a healthy body and the development of a proper attitude towards society. To this end our curriculum has been expanded. New departments have been added. Physical Education and Sports are taking prominent and important places in the every day life of the student. School doctors and nurses check the health of students. Furthermore, the school carnivals, musical comedies, Senior Class plays, dances sponsored by various organizations, concerts, clubs, and other activities tend to make one better able to appreciate the efforts of his fellows, and to develop a spirit of fair play and toleration for others. Of the greatest importance is one's mental development. Since the school is primarily a place to learn, we hope that you, Students of Strong Vincent High School, will acquire a strong foundation of facts and develop an ability to think clearly. The extent of this will depend on the ability, energy, and enthusiasm with which you do your tasks day by day. -Work that springs from the hearts desire, Setting the brain and the soul on fire-l' -W.
