The faculty and administration, unlike the students, are a continuous part of a school. The student comes as an inexperienced freshman, and later graduates as a mature senior. He helps Easton to grow but when he graduates his contribution is completed. The faculty member spends his entire career giving of himself to the school — his knowledge, interest and friendship. It is the faculty who places the educational building blocks of Easton in place and makes it not just a building but an edifice of learning. ADMINISTRATION AND FACULTY

Our Principal Speaks The purpose of all education is to teach us to think. The process of cramming the mind with the great variety of facts and ideas which come within the scope of a good school course would be of very little use if it were not for the ability to think which is a part of learning. Most of the things we learn in school pass quickly from our minds unless they come within our chosen profession, but the breadth of mental vision we acquire stays with us and ena- bles us to get a better grip on everything we undertake, though not necessarily related to the things we learned in school. Within the realm of thinking, education should teach us to do the right thing at the right time, in the right way; to do some things better than they were ever done before; to elim- inate errors; to know' both sides of the ques- tion; to be courteous; to be an example; to work for the love of the work; to anticipate requirements; to develop resources; to master circumstances; to act from reason rather than from rule; to recognize no impediments; to be satisfied with nothing short of perfection. 23
