ilqj .Y I. Seniors Larry Whislceyman and Peggy Witmyer admire the cherry blossoms on the beautiful grounds of the Shillington Town Hall, center of a progressive and productive community life. Om ' The wise man built his house upon the rock . . . and the house on the rock stood Hrmf' Man himself is the architect of his life, and the wise man begins early to devise a basic blueprint for his life. Depend- ing upon the foundations on which he formulates his ideals of living, he can either succeed or fail in life. To succeed, he must look to four integral units for his foundation: his family, school, church, and co-m- munity. l-larmonious family living promotes a sense of security and belonging essential to a stable emotional character. A civic minded family, sharing its talents, participates in school, church, and community organizations. The school strives to inculcate good citizenship, physical and mental health, and a development of character in the individual student. lt accomplishes its purpose by stressing both the scholastic and extra- curricular activities. The church provides for the spiritual enrichment of an individual's life. lt imparts moral and ethical values through its religious teachings, and it inspires clean living through its practices. In the community, individuals co-operate with their neighbors to im- prove conditions. Civic responsibility is recognized as a privilege vvorth preserving for future generations. Acceptance in the community entails vocational competence, brotherhood, and good citizenship.
