and won national nt tent ion several
years ago when they sponsored u
blood bank, taking over all duties
ot their elders in similar visits of
a bloodmobile to the community.
For that effort, the young people
won wide acclaim.
Yearly since that time, the stu
dents accept the responsibility of
conducting blood drives in their
community. Every student in the
school. In addition to soliciting
donore, is given a blood bank job
to do.
Working rlosely with their teach
ers, the students have developed
a strong sense of responsibility.
Serving as instructors, advisors,
coaches and deans for the 72 pu
pils is a staff of five, one of whom
is the working principal, William
P. Edwards,
Three R's Insufficient
"We know that teaching the 3
R's is no longer enough," Ed
wards Mid, adding: "We know
that more children than ever be-,
fore are going to our schools,
with a resulting increase in tho
abilities and needs. We know that
teachers are in short supply, and!
that our building and equipment
needs are Increasing.
'We know that more is expect- with 35 young skiers,
ed of our school
leisure time activities, for future
civic responsibility and for living
in a world beset by tension and
international unrest."
To meet this challenge, Ed
wards noted, "schools today an
enlarging their curriculac, giving
attention to special needs of stu
dents, and providing for their so
t'ial and tiu-ntal growth and
health."
Education of the whole Individ
ual as tht underlying philosophy
is the basis of the academic ap
proach of Sisters high school edu
cators, Elaine Psomas, one of the
instructors said, adding:
"With tlus- goal in mind, the
needs of the pupil for later lite
are examined. Some students will
go to college, some will go into
tiie stream of every day living.
Consequently our curriculum must
be geared to accommodate tlie.se
two classes of individuals."
Activities Sponsored
All Sisters high school activities
are sponsored with the view of
making it possible for the young
sters to develop into well-balanced
men and women. Student council
activities and the girls' pep organi
zation, Zipo, assist in this effort.
Sponsorship of bloodmobile visits
to their community is not the only
activity that has won state wide at
tention for the little high school.
The students also have been as
signed a ' 'conser va t ion forest, ' '
which is handled through the Qn
sen'ulion club.
Occasionally, school work ex

even out to the trout hatchery uni

Athletics Sporuored j
Athletics at Sisters high school
include the major sports of foot
ball, basketball, baseball and
track for boys; volleyball for girls
and sking for both boys and girls.
Clyde Hayward is in his sixth
year as coach at Sisters, with
George Estey his assistant. Like
the principal, these also have full
teaching Jobs.
Incidentally, the Outlaws are1
proud of their football atlUetic
record, having lost only two games
in the past two seasons while win
ning 11, .
"But Sisters students and faculty
are even more proud of the fact
that this record was obtained by
athletes who maintained a good
academic record and conformed
with OSAA eligibility require
ments," Coach Hayward said in
reviewing records of the various
teams. He added:
"We like to win at Sisters, but
winning to us is much more than
just the game. We win when our
boys and girts become fine men
and women."
Nine were graduated from Sis
ters high last spring. Kour of these
went to college. That Is a little
better than one - third of the
graduates.
Paper PubllHhed
Although small, Sisters high also
published a school paper and an
annual. "These two publications
perform a definite service in the
scliool In that they provide a
means of recognition for student
dffeet, acquainted the public with
the school and help improve writ

Principal Edwards does not
claim that Sisters high school is
the best small high school in the
state. But, he stressed, the Sisters
school does show how the fruits
of American education are avail
able for all.
"During Education week, f hops
that every American will take a
good constructive look at his
schools a look aimed at improv
ing our schools and the opportu
nities offered our youth," Edwards
said, adding:
"After all, what more. Important
responsibility can be assumed than
that of educating our youth, In
whose hands lies the future of our
society."
Don't let it all slip
through your fingers.'
