Minlring 0 You DR. CARL E. WHIPPLE M. S. University of Pittsburgh, Ed. D. Superintendent of Schools. Members of the Warren High School: Do you know that your manners are showing? You have probably heard this statement before. Have you thought that your face, your clothes, your way of walk- ing, in fact all of your actions are what others know of you. Your friends understand you well enough that they will overlook any things you lack. This is not so of others. What do the people of the town think of the high school when a crowd of three or four students, coming down the street abreast, force them off the sidewalk? Do they stop to think that you are all good friends and just must talk about that thrilling election at school or do they say to themselves that children didntt force their elders off the street twenty-five years ago? Actually we in school know that most high school students are considerate and thoughtful. How are others going to know unless the correct manners are showing? Let us also consider other duties of high school students. Some of them are care of the high school building, habits of work, honesty and other moral virtues, citizen- ship and other needs of the country. Despite the fact that the main part of the building is fifty-live years old, do you do your part to keep it in good condition? The hard work of the maintenance staff can be destroyed by students who are careless and do not do their part. Our building needs to be in the best possible condition next year when Warren High will be eval- uated by a committee from the Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Are you developing careful habits of work so that when you leave school and are working at a job, you will be worth more than your employer pays you? Other- wise he cannot make a profit on your work and so afford to hire you. Do you consider whether a thing is right or wrong before you do it and then decide in favor of the right? Do you accept the duties and obligations of citizenship? The United States is giving leadership to the world. Are you helping so that it will be the right kind of leadership? Whether you will be a GI in a foreign country or a citizen of Warren, your manners are showing. Will they show to the glory and credit of you and the Warren High School? The Alumni of this institution have set high standards. It is your obligation to Ineet these standards and improve them for the benefit of the students who will follow you. The manners of Warren High School are making its reputation in the community. Make it the best reputation. ' Sincerely, Cf . CARL E. WHIPPLE Superintendent of Schools The Pennsylvania State College, B S

One of the most difllcult problems facing the School Directors of the Borough of Warren is providing a new high school building. Progress towards the solving of this problem has been made in the year since the 1952 DRAGON was published. The Municipal Authority is building the Jefferson Street Elementary School. A Jointure has been formed and will operate Beaty Junior High and Warren High School next year. Both ol' these actions are preliminary steps to the new building. A number of smaller problems are being solved before a new high school build- ing may be started. The attendance area for Beaty and high school has been deter- mined. The number of students to be accommodated in the building has been cal- culated as the districts have formed a new attendance area. The size of the addition to Beaty Junior High School has been determined and that of a new Warren High School can be determined. Since students go hrst to Beaty, then to high school, the addition to Beaty is needed first. Plans are being made to start the addition soon. The means ol raising money for the Beaty Building has been determined and thought has been given to the cost of the High School Building. Considerable planning is necessary. One important question is the site for the new building. Some would prefer that the present one be used. National and State standards for high school sites recommend one of about twenty-two acres. The only place a plot of this size is available is near the edge of town. Other questions such as ill What type of program is to be offered? and l2l What community services should be provided? need to be answered. After these problems are solved, the architect must be chosen, the plans must be drawn and specifications written, and bids must be taken and contracts let, before the building can actually be started. Your School Board members are aware of these difficulties and needs. They have been at work on the problem and will continue to work on it until the desired new high school building is a reality. 1 ' a,. .
