Ten Whether or not competitive sports belong in the ed- ucational curriculum is no longer an issue, it is an ac- complished fact. The problem today is how to bring about a common understanding of how athletics may serve the entire school. It is my belief that our athletic program and our winning football team this year have been a prime factor in our over-all good school spirit and that this spirit has created a closer relationship among stu- dents, faculty, administration, parents, and our city of While the preparation of the school yearbook is not considered as a formal part of academic training, few people would disagree that the organization of such a publication requires very real skills as well as consider- able effort. In reality such a publication becomes the laboratory in which much of the previously acquired knowledge can be applied. Thanks, then, are due the students who have given so much of their time in the preparation of this 1960 edition of the school annual. By your efforts the peo- ple of our community will have not only a concrete ex- ample of the various activities that have transpired dur- ing the school term, but also evidence as to how well you have acquired the academic training so necessary to your future success. MR. CRABBS lt is the purpose of the Whitehall Yearling High School to provide an opportunity for education of all the youth. The main objectives of our high school are: first, to provide a general education for all the future citizens, second, to provide good elective programs for those who wish to use their acquired skills immediately on gradua- tion, third, to provide satisfactory programs for those people who will depend on their further education in a college or university, and fourth, to develop in our youth a love of and a belief in democracy. lf in each succeeding year we can draw nearer to the attainment of these goals, we shall feel that our school is progressing toward suc- cess.
