Provides a Fine Program MR. JAMES MARTIN-High School Principal busy look- ing over some work at his desk. Mr. Martin is a good friend to all-he always has a friendly smile and a wave for us as he walks through the hallways. He is the kind of man who is fair in punishment when it is needed and easy to talk to when we have a problem. He attends most of our school functions, not out of duty, but because he likes us. And we want to thank him for being “our kind of people” (that should, however, be said with a southern accent). Mrs. Rose Edgerton is Mr. Martin’s secretary and in charge of the student secretaries. MR. JOHN WARK-High School Counselor. Here is the man who helps with our schedules, our problems, sees to it that we get the necessary scholarships, the right applica- tion to the right school so that we may continue becom- ing. An if you ever want to see a man about a good joke to tell, now that Stu Cole is gone, see Mr. Wark! Mrs. Betty Halsey is Mr. Wark’s secretary (lucky man!) Did you ever see her frown? Betty always has a smile for every- one-even when she tells you Mr. Wark is busy.

Producers Goals “Education is a Pride; a Goal; a Means to an End; it is ALL things.” Only Education can provide an answer to the ills of society— the Role of education encompasses all things. If we are to properly deal with the basic moral issues of the day— The rights of the individual, so- ciety’s responsibility to all people, the governmen- tal role in our society, and the interpretation of democratic freedom— it becomes increasingly ap- parent that education must prepare us to evaluate and establish those principles which will insure the future. Man’s education cannot be left to chance. The educational system is specialized in the production of people not manpower! If education is to flourish the government and the public have to be convinced that the resources must be found. Only good schools can determine whether the American dream can be fulfilled for all children re- gardless of circumstances. In spite of long centuries of education in his- tory— we are probably on a greater threshold of Frontiership than we have ever seen. Mrs. Bev Brown, Bookkeeper Miss Vera Hoskins, secretary.

Mr. John Mitchell— Band Director Did you ever see anyone who was always so cheer- ful? The Directors Led Mr. Richard Wiersma, Jr.-Bookkeeping and Short- hand and Adult Education. Someone just interrupted his class. Wonder if he means us? The director, the teacher, the gadfly, the guide. The director is the person on whom the success or failure of the play depends. He is responsible for the unification of all production elements-the learning process, both subject matter and social ac- tivities. He must be an able guide with the right questions and the right answers. He must care about people for a good play presents a problem and lets the audience watch the solution and then teaches him to judge the outcome. It takes patience and love to let someone work out his own problem. Mrs. Helen Decker— Librarian Mrs. Decker shows Terry how to check out books. 26
