Haberaecker, Superintendent Superintendentas Message Dear Friends: The Wethersfield school system is dedicated to the educational welfare ofthis community. Education is ourfirst and primary objective. In making education functional it is important that character training be included as an important phase of our educational program. You can be the most brilliant person scholastically and yet fail in life be- cause you lack strong traits of good character. We hope youhave re- ceived a good educational background in this school system and that your character is of the type that can withstand the temptations which very often mean the difference between success and failure. May I congratulate you and wish you the best in life in the years to come. Cordially yours, H. J.

Sherry Williams is the only twirler and Cheryl Fuerst is drum majorette. The marching band can boast of having one of the finest color- guards in this part of the state. The band made appearances at their home football games and the annual trip to Macomb for Westerns' Homecoming. The Pep Band has forty five play- ing members. It is directed by Bob Kuzminski and John Townsend who are seniors and occassionally Mr. Bick- haus also directs. This band played for all the home basketball games and for all the Pep Assemblies. The Pep Band is composed of those musicians who enjoy playing for the fun of it and receive no special credit or recognition for their efforts. Many past band members who have gradu- ated, come back and sit in with the Pep Band just for the joy of playing. It L Mg., -...IL A-.. i 2+--na. v -...,,.

Wethink it is our dutyto serve the educational needs of all the farm people in our community, To do this we have programs for 3 different groups,- fly Future Farmers now in high school C23 Young Farmers recent- ly graduated who are just starting out on their own and C31 Adult Farmers. Our high schoolenrollment has increased from 16 to 26 farm boys during the past 3 years. Some of the 1955 achievements ofwhich we are proud are as follows: fly Our 1955 hog sale, althoheld at a time of badly declin- ing hog prices which caused many other sales in this vicinity to falldown badly,was one of the best we have. This was due entirely to the very high quality of breeding stock offered ever had. C21 ln the year 1955, our boys produced 14 litters of pigs which met the very high standards for Production Registry. Various breed associations have told us that they believed this was more than any other agriculture department in the mid- west. C39 Our program of farm shop work has been rated the largest and best in this section of Illinois. Our boys are truly interested in their work and they go after all of our many activities and studies with a spirit of co- operation and good will that makes it a pleasure to to work with them. Our Young Farmers classes started lastyear, now have 8 graduates enrolled. These boys bring back to school many ofthe problemsthat they meet in getting started. This part of our work is certain to grow as more boys graduate and start farming for themselves. Wethersfield Adult Evening School is well known as one of the largest and lest in this section. Average attendance last year was 109. Its affairs are largely administered by an advisory committee who bring to Wethersfield many nationally known guest speakers every winter. fi Q' X for Hog Sale i hi .
