YEAR BOOK 7 Jforetuorb Duke Sheffield of Buckinghamshire once said: “Of all those arts in which the wise excel, Nature’s chief masterpiece is writing well.” With this sentiment in mind, the heartiest congratulations are due those who have so generously poured forth their knowledge and have so unstintingly given of their labor to the Oracle of Aldington High School. It is with a keen sense of privilege that the present writer, representing the feeling of the entire school, makes these few remarks concerning the accomplishments of the present ORACLE Staff. Experience shows that success is due less to outstanding brilliancy than to zeal. The winner is he who gives himsel to his work, body and soul. But the ORACLE Staff has had the happy combination of both ability and enthusiasm for its task. The results speak for themselves. The uniformly superior issues of the Oracle—interesting, entertaining, humorous, saturated with the spirit of the school—bespeak a tribute far more impressive than can be given by this present effort. Thoughts are forces; through their instrumentality we have in our grasp, as our rightful heritage, the power of making life and all its manifold conditions exactly what we will. For this reason has the Oracle been invaluable to the students of Abington High School, inasmuch as it has provided under the leadership of the Oracle Staff, a medium for all to express their thoughts. Thus the Oracle has been at once our common meeting ground, our forum and our safety valve. Here, we have all had an opportunity to voice our innermost sentiments, to discuss our aspirations and inspirations, and to blow of!' the steam of a youth’s over-exuberant spirit. Finally, let it be writ upon the hearts of the school that the Oracle Staff had a difficult task to do and did it well. There is no greater accomplishment, no higher purpose, no richer success than this, that the work in hand was done with all one’s might. The Oracle Staff has labored hard and achieved much. Long after it has turned down the bend in the road which leads out into the wide world, the work it wrought will remain, a beacon-light for those who follow and a monument to the glory and the honor of dSar old Abington High.
