? ew Superb; fen Mr. Glunt at his office The Cougar Memoir takes pride in presenting Mr. David L. Glunt as the superintendent of schools of the Charleroi School District. It seems strange to introduce a person so well known as Chippy? Most of us have known him as principal of Charleroi High School in which capacity he served so well. A friend to faculty and students alike, Mr. Glunt devoted much energy and time to make our school a better schooleone to which we can point with pride. Now, as superintendent, Mr. Glunt is continuing his fine work of making our school a good school. His duties are more numerous; the scope of his activities is greater; the demands of his office are tremendous. Yet, this is his part; it is a starring role, and he plays it in his very best manner. As a devoted faculty and study body, we wish Mr. Glunt success and happiness in his new tble position, and hope that it will be a long and prosperous run. Twenty-Nine

3A9 Superintendent :5 eddage The theme of your 1956 Cougar Memoir stimu- lates the imagination, for it can be spacious--itAll the worlds a stage . . 3i, and confined as the backyard performance of your childhood playersi group. In it are expressed all the shades of the human emotions from hilarious comedy and music to the deepest tragedy. You seniors have been studying your parts off stage, but now you are taking the final rehearsal. Y0u are about to walk on stage, in a minor part, that will lead to more important roles only when you are willing to understudy each succeeding part. For as Francis Bacon expressed it, uIn the theater of human life it is only for God and the angels to be spectators? All your life you have been personally directed by your parents, family, religious leaders, friends, and teachers,. They have given you the benefit of their experiences in hopes that it will help you in some way in the role which you are abOut to play. Alfred Tenny- son wrote, YI am part of all that I have met? MR. DAVID L. GLUNT Now you are advancing to the role where you are going to have to do your own thinking and directing. This must be learned and practiced. You are individuals and should think for yourselves. The conflict comes between conforming to mass opinion and trying to be different. Think for yourselves and decide what is right and then have the will to do it. Decisions will have to be made on many moral issues of your time. You will be called on to help decide many vital matters both personal and international. You will have to be morally strong andiversed in all the facts that will lead to sound judgment. You will have to study the roles played by men of the past and learn from them-first, from the greatest life ever lived, the life of Christ, to the roles of many others that yOu might learn vicariously from their experiences. In that way you are enlarging the part you will play. Your role will not be judged by the glamour, monetary gain, nor the importance of the role; but by the material nature gave y0u and what you accomplish with it. What you make of the role is now in your hands. Your teachers have every good wish for y0ur happiness and success. They will be part of the audience of your new role with a prayer that some of the advice that they offered will in some way help you in your decisions and in yOur part. The Cougar Memoir is a reflection of your accomplishments to date. Your sponsor and his staff have given it to you in the usual excellent manner; they are to be congratulated. f R
