University of Connecticut Home Economics, Dietician Within four years, most of us will be qualified to vote, and our faculty helps us to understand controversial subjects by teaching us critical judgment. That we may have a true sense of our civic responsibility, we are taught the funda¬ mental details of social justice, community parti¬ cipation, law observance and world citizenship. The guidance department offers information, advice, consultation, and a final decision of our own. Teacher observation reports and the Boston University testing service form a solid corner¬ stone on which to build our plans.

Cooley Bay Path Junior College School Secretary This staff, however, within a few years, must be augmented to meet the needs of our growing community. The estimated increase in enroll¬ ment will be forty per cent five years from now. This, of course, will necessitate an expanded plant; it will mean more money from the tax¬ payers to cover this increase in Suffield s educa¬ tional plan. But no matter how our alma mater grows, we can hope that our brothers and sisters—and yes, maybe our children—will have the advantage of as fine a staff as we have had. ...the way to live Mary M.
