Dedication This year the Senior Class of 1953 feels honored to dedica.e its yearbook to the Wapella Grade School. The grade school of today i; concerned with the child's mental, physical, and social development. It is during the first years in school that the child learns to work and get along with o.hers. He comes to acknowledge and understand the feelings of others. The grade school wants to help every child find himself, and it sets its goal to achieve the highest and best development of each individual. From the years spent in the elementary school, the child gains some of the basic skills and attitudes which will later enable him to go out into the world and make his own way. During grade school days the child develops a sense of security and begins to depend more upon his own ability for doing things for himself instead of having his parents doing them for him. The grade schools of today have developed from one-room school houses into several rooms with modern equipment and better-trained teachers. Instead of there being only one teacher for the whole school, there are several; thus the teachers of today are able to spend more time with the problems of the pupils and help develop them into fine, upstanding citizens of the United States. The teachers help the children with their personal and social responsibilities. The teachers also work to develop the children's sense of right and wrong, their emotional balance, their sense of the fine and cultural things of life, and their vocational interests. With these things in mind, we dedicate the 1953 yearbook to the Grade School, which will someday provide the citizens that will be the leaders in our community and our country.
