Superintendent's Message<br />
Dear Friends:<br />
<strong>The</strong> Wethersfield school system is dedicated to the educational<br />
welfareof this community. Education is our first and primary objective.<br />
In making education functional it is important that character training<br />
be included as an important phase of our educational program. You<br />
can be the most brilliant person scholastically and yet fail in life because<br />
you lack strong traits of good character. We hope you have received<br />
a good educational background in this school system and that<br />
your character is of the type that can withstand the temptations which<br />
very often mean the difference between success and failure.<br />
May I congratulate you and wish you the best in life in the years<br />
to come.<br />
ADMINISTRATION<br />
Cordially yours,<br />
H. J. Haberaecker<br />

VOICE OF THE PRINCIPAL<br />
My sincerest congratulations to the 1956 graduating class. It is my<br />
hope that with a great deal of pride. Now, more than ever before,<br />
there is a need for educational achievement. Certainly the attainment<br />
of a high school diploma is a major step toward that achievement.<br />
<strong>The</strong> diploma itself is not a measuring stick of success. <strong>The</strong> student<br />
receiving the diploma is the product that will determine how valuable<br />
his high school education is to him. It is initiative and ambition added<br />
to acquired knowledge that will determine success.<br />
May all of you be an asset to the community in which you live.<br />
Sincerely,<br />

Band just for the joy of playing.

We think it is our duty to serve the educational needs<br />
of all the farm people in our community. To do this<br />
we have programs for 3 different groups,- (1) Future<br />
Farmers now in high school (2) Young Farmers recently<br />
graduated who are just starting out on their own and<br />
(3) Adult Farmers.<br />
Our high school enrollment has increased from 16 to<br />
26 farm boys during the past 3 years. Some of the 1955<br />
achievements of which we are proud are as follows: (1)<br />
Our 1955hogsale, althoheld at a time of badly declining<br />
hog prices which caused many other sales in this<br />
vicinity to fall down badly, was one of the best we have.<br />
This was due entirely to the very high quality of<br />
breeding stock offered ever had. (2) In the year 1955,<br />
our boys produced 14 litters of pigs which met the very<br />
high standards for Production Registry. Various breed<br />
associations have told us that they believed this was<br />
more than any other agriculture department in the mid-<br />
47<br />
west. (3) Our program of farm shop work has been rated<br />
the largest and best in this section of Illinois. Our boys<br />
are truly interested in their work and they go after all<br />
of our many activities and studies with a spirit of cooperation<br />
and good will that makes it a pleasure to<br />
to work with them.<br />
Our Young Farmers classes started last year, now have<br />
8 graduates enrolled. <strong>The</strong>se boys bring back to school<br />
many of the problems that they meet in getting started.<br />
This part of our work is certain to grow as more boys<br />
graduate and start farming for themselves.<br />
Wethersfield Adult Evening School is well known as<br />
one of the largest and best in this section. Average<br />
attendance last year was 109. Its affairs are largely<br />
administered by an advisory committee who bring to<br />
Wethersfield many nationally known guest speakers<br />
every winter.
