Message From Our Superintendent EPORTED in this yearbook are many of the eilorts, of more than three thousand people, youth and adults, to make for themselves and others a better world. It is a thrilling story, one which should provide an inspiraf tion for all who read these pages. From the story one gains a vivid impresf sion that education is a continuous process operative day and night, winter and summer, for young adolescents as well as mature adults. How well the needs of these varied groups are being met is not, probably cannot be, shown in the scope of this volume, but the reader will see what has been done and may judge for himself on that basis. Education has for its major objectives the production of competent citizens and good workmen. Grades nine and ten in the high school are primarily years of general education when young people are discovering interests and abilities. Grades eleven and twelve are years when vocational preparation is of prime importance. For some students vocational preparaf tions means getting ready for college with advanced studies, for others it means preparation for a job. In either case, education is not completed at the end of grade twelve. Those taking college work will either go away to school or attend a local junior college for two years. Those going to work may continue their education in night school, junior college, apprenf ticeship training, and the like, these programs are all designed to help young people develop into better workers and citizens. But education is not lim' ited to youth. We may continue to learn and develop mentally through' out life, so the opportunities of evening schools and junior colleges are available to all. The reader of this yearbook will find described many of the opportunif ties now available in the Waukegan Township Secondary Schools. Whether these opportunities are expanded further will depend upon the citizens of the community. The school plant needs modernization and expansion. junior college education needs to be provided. Guidance and health serv' ices need more adequate development. All citizens have an interest in the program of the school because its services are available to all. Through the cooperative efforts of everyone this community can have a very outstand' ing program of educational opportunities. J. LLOYD TRUMP 18
