THE VfELLESLEYAN 1936 PRINCIPAL RALPH W. PROCTOR To Students, Parents, and Townspeople: The fact is not always adequately emphasized that there is something besides formal education that educates. It it not enough to think of a high school as com¬ posed of teachers and courses of study. It should be recognized that it has a certain integrity, a unity, a spirit, a morale, and that every influence that an individual ex¬ periences from the very moment he enters the high school until he graduates leaves its impression. To single out a number of the informal influences, to describe and picture them, is one of the considerations of this book. Their importance is not magnified unduly. What is it that determines the spirit of a school after all? Is it the scholar¬ ship of the teache rs? Is it the course of study or the textbooks? Is it the presence of the students? Each plays its part, but there are other factors quite as influential. A school reflects the community’s ideas, judgments, and attitudes. Just as an in¬ dividual is made by the kind of stimulations that beat in upon his consciousness, so an institution is molded and determined by all the forces and agencies that touch its life. Seniors will enjoy preserving this book; underclassmen will acquire a better knowledge of the scope of activities; and it is hoped that a wide circulation in the community may develop a larger conception and an appreciation of the informal educative activities sponsored by the Gamaliel Bradford Senior High School.
