LIFE'S COVER SUPERVISING PRINCIPAL Mr. Quentin Kintigh, AB., M. Ed., is a graduate of Otterbein College and Pennsylvania State College. He came to Bell Township in 1942 from Hempfield Township where he taught in Harold Junior High School and was principal at New Stanton Junior High School. He is also co-author of Junior Guidance and a member of the legislative committee of the Westmoreland County Teachers. Mr: Kintigh gave up his duties as supervising principal on January twenty-first to become supervising principal of Penn Township Schools. Mr. Kintigh served us faithfully for four and a half years and we regretted to see him leave. On May twenty-ninth, dressed in the traditional cap and gown of graduation night, you will be seated on the stage of the Bell Township High School. The person addressing you will probably speak of your commencementn as the beginning of Life for you, admonish you as to its pitfalls, encourage you to enter greater fields of endeavor, and congratulate you as now being prepared to take your place in life. What is Life? Life is a composite result of one's attitudes. When you were very young, your reaction to particular persons and things was determined by your likes and dislikes. You dis- carded your baby bootie because you didn't like the taste of it. You liked Mary's ball because it was red. When you grew a little older, you coveted it and tried to take it from her. Soon a new attitude was being developed. You either learned or did not learn fairness in play depending upon the results of your first and successive attempts to appropriate Mary,s red ball. There came the day you took your ball and went home because the gang wanted Johnny to pitch instead of you. If you couldn't pitch, you wouldn't play. Soon you learned that you were mis- erable because you had no one with whom to play. Although the others played a different game because they had no ball, they weren't happy either. Slowly you painfully learned to consider others, an attitude which must be a part of you throughout Life if you are to be successful in business either as an employer or an employee. Finally one evening you were introduced to another attitude-respect for property. Your ball went through Mr. Smith's living-room window. You mowed grass for one week in order to pay for the broken pane. You were getting older now. Mother and Dad were giving you responsibilities. You cut the wood, brought in coal, washed the dishes. When mother was ill you heroically fried an egg for father's supper. Responsibility was a new attitude which you accepted cheerfully. Maturity brought a sense of charity, an understanding of human emotions and morals, a re- gard for public welfare, and an appreciation of money. Some of you developed these attitudes more fully than your fellow students did. The world measures Success in terms of the degree to which you have developed these attitudes. Your attitudes are You. What You are determines the life you live, for You are Life
