WALTER B. HEISCHMAN The below are questions cmd answers from an interview between a Norwester reporter and Ioseph A. Dorff, princi- pal of Upper Arlington High School. What should the ideal education give the student to prepare him for tomorrow? The below are questions and answers from an interview between a Norwester reporter and Walter B. Heischman, superintendent of the Upper Arlington school system. What should the ideal education give the student to prepare him for tomorrow? Tomorrow is always uncertain. We know it will be different from today. It is impossible to prepare students by giving them a large amount of specific information which may never be used. Things important for the future are those things which have proved of value in the past. Education should give students a background of knowledge of our usable skills and enable them to learn that anything worthwhile re- sults from hard work and sacrifice. Individuals must learn to discipline themselves before they become mature per- sons. Schools should provide young people with situations where they can organize, think through and arrive at solutions to problems. Boys and girls must learn to live together as school citizens before they can expect to contribute things of a worthwhile nature to an adult society. These are a few things which are important. What should be the supreme adventure of high school days? To live life to its fullest, starting each morning with the anticipation of being a better person when evening comes, and at the same time taking full advantage and gaining greatest satisfaction from the most enjoyable period of human existence. Education for tomorrow depends on one's interest and application today. The American educational dream has always been equal opportunity for all to benefit from an educational program that should emphasize equally all education experiences in terms of academic excellence, technical and scientific knowledge, and a respect for our fellow-man through an understanding of the aesthetic and philosophi- cal aspects of our daily life. What should be the supreme adventure of high school days? The supreme adventure of high school days is the opportunity and thrill of experiencing to the fullest the many and varied avenues of learning available to youth of secondary school age. The classroom, the athletic field, and the group and class activities, together, provide a program that, if properly combined, make for the kind of well-rounded education that lays a proper foundation for life experiences to follow. DAVID M. IONES IOSEPH A. DORFF The below are quotations and answers from an interview between a Norwester reporter and David M. Iones, as- sistant principal of Upper Arlington High School. What should the high school offer the student to prepare him for tomorrow? High schools today are faced with an extremely com- plex job when considering the problem of what to offer students to prepare them for tomorrow. Basically, Ameri- can high schools should provide opportunities for students to obtain skills in communication, arithmetic and scientific processes, and social understandings. The high school must provide for individual differences where students participate according to their need and perform according to their ability. What should be the supreme adventure of high school days? The greatest adventure for the high school student should be one of discovery and accomplishment in both the educational and social areas of the student's life. The sense of satisfaction that accompanies these two elements should provide a basis for the greatest adven- ture of high school days.
