ured by the yardstick of the past Education in a space age can no longer be meas The number of new . concepts to be l e a r n e d cannot become a reality if we follow only traditional methods of teaching . We must urge that all who are in the p o s i t i o n of influencing the learning of students should be diligently trying to find more effective ways to teach . Mechanical devices must be introduced for drill and decisions made frequently as to where emphasis is to be placed . Students must be taught that attitude toward learn . - ing is of vital importance and that formal education in the mo d e r n era is a never ending process which does not stop upon graduating from high school or college S.W. Wiley, Superintendent Administration - To The Students of Prairie High: It is the hope of the faculty, . . administration, and Ed u c a t i o n that this has been a most enjoyable year f the students at Prairie High As this year comes to a close, it is our sincere d the many memories of fr i e n d s, of teachers and of you c omp l i s hme n t s as recorded in this annual will be a satisfaction for each of you To the Seniors, may you continue to build upon dation of education you established at Prairie High Scho C.H .
