This is the type of wheel used in a ship to steer it toward its final destination. O Our school life may be compared to a wheel. It steers us toward our destination. Through our clubs and organizations we learn responsibility, leadership, and cooperation. Taking part in sports teaches the importance of teamwork and sportsmanship. The N ordinary school day is educational to us both for learn­ ing in our classes, which offer new information daily, and for learning to establish congenial relations with those around us. The advantages that our school offers should steer us toward becoming happy, successful, and upright citizens. > ■ ■ [ 7TTC1 mmrnwmmmmmm CONTENTS ‘ Administration and Faculty Classmen Activities Athletics Senior Activities Advertising s 4 ADMINISTRATION-FACULTY > Our leaders and guides as we journey through school.
