VALEDICTORIAN Throughout our program tonight we have tried to give you something of our school life. We have shown you one side of the picture-our work, our new responsibilities, our intellectual, social and athletic activities-but we have failed, in a large measure, to stress the importance of the other side-those things we have gained from our years in high school which will be of lasting value. In these present times, in this turbulent, ever-changing world of today, it is essential that its youth have a sound set of values. The seven objectives of education, mentioned earlier this evening. express most clearly the ways in which our public school systems prepare youth to meet life's problems. The first of these aims is Health- a sound mind in a sound body. Through its gymnasium and science classes the school has done much to impress its pupils with the importance of physical iitness in relation to happiness and future success. Secondly, education encourages respect for the home through classes in home economics, and, less directly, by creating new situations which call for coopera- tion and ability to get along with others. With this is the third aim, teaching the worthwhile use of leisure time. Courses in music, art, literature, and sports, as well as social contacts, are important here. The fourth objective is Knowledge, the original purpose of all schools: and the fifth, a much newer one, Vocation, However, experience has demonstrated that training in commercial work, agriculture, and industrial arts has its place in the high school curriculum as surely as history, science, and mathematics. If these aims were listed in order of importance, Citizenship would rank near the top. At a time in the world's history when democracy and personal liberty seem to be worth so little, American schools have been a leading factor in the popularization of American ideals. But in any era, our civics classes and practical experience in the government of clubs and societies work to this end. Of the last and greatest aim, Character, little need be said, but I rather like what the seventh guide said. Do you remember? This is the most worthy of all the lights for without it the others would grow dim. Our program tonight is almost over, and with it our high school career. It's time to say words that somehow catch in the throat and will not let themselves be spoken. So before we say them we want to thank you for these past four years- our friends, our good times, and above all. the liner, nobler gifts which will help us to meet our big problems and all those little experiences which they tell us make up Life. Goodbye, JANET KING Valedictorian 20
