P H. R. BARTON Superintendent A. F. BENNEST Principal Superintendents Message It is interesting to Watch a spider spin his web. He start with one strand and each succeeding strand is tied to th original or a branch of it. When the web is completed th spider is able to navigate from any one point on it to anothei Any insect other than the spider is unable to walk on th web without sticking fast. As soon as it becomes a prisone: the spider rushes in to kill the prey and thereby secures it food. We in the school business are all tied together and b anyone individual being weak it will weaken the whol structure. We as parents, school board, teachers, and pupil comprise a unit. The education received is the food caugl in the web. The better the food the better the educatior lf our structure is weak then the food is not as nourishin3 and those who benefit are handicapped. It behooves us all to build a strong web in order t catch good food that will better fit us for the job that i before us. Principal fs Message Caught in the Web of High School Life connotes helpless group of individuals being victimized by siniste forces beyond their control. It is reasonably certain tht such is not the case. Students enter high school of the own volition, remain because they find that it is to the benefit to avail themselves of the opportunities to be hat and graduate because they have had the courage and visic to meet the challenges along the way. There are two principal aims to modern education. On is to supply a situation that is compatible with a desire 1 assimilate a portion of the worlds heritage of knowledgt Another is to make it possible for the student to live an work in an atmosphere that is conducive to best interprets tions of the ideals of democracy and useful citizenship. To be caught in such a web is to be able to experien a sampling of democratic living and to have the opportunicf to exchange ideas with your peers. Such a situation prc motes mental and social growth. We hope that your sta in the Web has been profitable to you.
