The Supervisors of THS gl' The 1970-1971 school year brought Mr. john L. McNeil to Tonica as our new principal. Mr. McNeil brought many new thoughts and ideas which have made the year both in- teresting and exciting. For the first time in the school's history, THS has a superintendent heading the Tonica Com- munity school system. Mr. Warrner has taken on this added responsibility to aid the school in forming a unit district. They work together to coordinate school activities. ,. MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT This 1970-1971 school year will probably be considered in the history of American education as the year of Accountability. Much time and effort is being spent by student groups, parent groups, teacher groups, school board groups, and legislative groups in attempting to improve schools. , I share the belief that the student body of any school is the greatest factor in determining the success of a school. We-you and I, as students make our schools what they are. Buildings, equipment, and curriculum are oflittle value if students are not eager to learn more than schools have time to teach. Several months will pass and probably many changes will take place in Tonica,s schools before this message appears in print. We must prepare for change, adjust to change, and take advantage of our opportunities. Our schools reflect us more than we re- MvM fffa I Wilson Warrner flect our schools. We are our school! MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL Tonica High School was established for and dedicated to the educational growth and development of our community. It is our responsibility, yours and mine, to continue to improve upon the ways and means of realizing these aims and goals. Only through knowledge and understanding can mankind improve upon the situations in which he finds himself. Opportunities to gain knowledge are provided by your high school. Only by taking advantage of the opportunities offered by your high school can you realize the aims and goals set forth in the philosophy of this school: to meet the educational needs of the people of this community and make available opportunities for improving their cultural, civic and economic life.
