ALEX TANNAS Mercer University Duquesne University GEORGE C. McLAUGHLIN Waynesburg College University of Pittsburgh Biactnst As each one of you leaves Arnold High School, you must become a more contributing member of soci ety fitted adequately to the so- cial whole and an essential part of it. This is a cooperative task and involves principle. Do not try to put expediency ahead of principle. “A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, neither can a rotten tree produce fine fruit.” Bad means do not bring good ends. Good produces good ends, whereas, evil means an evil end. To purchase expediency at the expense of principle is the snare of the shortsighted. Only by clinging to divine prin- ciples can permanent good come to all of you who contributed principle to no end. Professor John Dewey, one of America’s mo:t profound philosophers, says that the deepest urge in human nature is the “desire to be im- portant.” That phrase the “desire to be im- pertant’” is a gnawing and unfaltering human hunger. If pecple are so hungry for a feel- ing of importance, imagine what miracles you and | can achieve by giving them honest ap- preciation. This does not suggest flattery. Flattery should fail and usually does. It comes from the mouth; appreciation comes from the heart. Should we not cease thinking of our own accomplishments and wants, and begin to figure out the other man’s good points. Give him honest, sincere appreciation and he will cherish your words long after you have for- gotten them.

We, the students of Arnold High School, are indeed fortun- ate to have as our faculty, a group of men and women, dedicated to the cause of education and its benefits. Cooperation and consideration may well be considered their key to success, for certainly, the faculty could not function as efficiently if they did not share in the common interest of improving our school and community.
