15 M R. ALBRIGHT feels that education is more than knowing the material found in books. If you are unable to apply this fund of knowledge to meet new situations, if you lack the ability to pass correct judgment on practical problems, if you permit some one else to do your thinking for you. then you are, according to this class adviser, uneducated, although you may possess a dozen diplomas. The world has a right to expect that a young person who has been given the fine tools of life will be an artist and not an artisan in living. It looks to the educated youth to be a refining, uplifting force in the community, an inspiration to those who have not had his priceless chances. Abington has faith in the January class of 1936. ♦ In high school, our class assumed leadership and gave its whole-hearted support to the school. Now that we are graduated, we are entering new fields of endeavor and are receiving opportunities to continue to achieve in our own sphere of activities. With all these new-born interests, we do not wish to forget our Alma Mater. We feel a deep sense of appreciation toward our school for the excellent foundation we have received in preparation for life. ot many schools have so comprehensive and thorough a curriculum, so many varied extra-curricular organizations, nor so well-trained and conscientious a faculty as lias Abington High School. Let us as graduates stay behind our Alma Mater. Let us join the Alumni Association and give it our loyal support in all its activities to aid the school. Robert C. Taylor.
