PAUL T. JACKSON ROBAIR THOMAS ROSALIND E. CRUISE Superintendent Printer and Manager Journalism Instructor Yes, you can be a leader! You can d eve lop your inner self and talents to become an out standing student and leader right here among your friends and associates. Leadership is a thing that can be accomplished by people just like yourself. But, you must put forth a lot of effort. You must know the “do’s” and “don’ts” of leader ship, and apply yourself to it wholeheartedly. In the first place, you should have initiative. That is, you must be a “self-starter”—be capable of starting new and interesting as well as worth while projects. Then, secondly, you have to show enthusiasm and interest for the proposed project. In other words, you should be “sold” on the idea yourself, making your enthusiasm genuine. Thirdly, you must possess courage—to face your followers critics—and determination to carry through once you have begun. It takes courage and determination; and gives sincere poise to fellow workers. You have been challenged to become leaders—why not start now? You can accomplish leadership if you try! —M arjorie S kahan This school term will soon be over and it will be the last school term for some students here, but it isn’t the end of your education.
