IfiaVce-t-to COUNTING THE COST Liberty has a price. In the past, for thousands. the cost was imprisonment, exile, agonizing torture, even the sacrifice of life itself. There are many who feel and who would have us believe that the cost of liberty was paid when the War for Independence was ended and the Constitution was adopted. Be not deceived. As long as democracy enaures, so long will there be an obligation which each of us must meet if freedom is to be maintained. It is very much like the building of a factory. When the building has been erected and the machinery installed, the obligations have .just begun. Supplies must be purchased, men must be put tc work, production must be started and maintained, ana the products must be distributed. As long as the factory remains in operation, so long must men contribute something—time, energy, thought, money, cooperation, loyalty—to keep It running. Democracy. to be maintained, likewise requires support. If freedom of thought and speech are to endure, we must labor to train an intelligent, open-minded, and tolerant oitizenry. If law and order shall prevail, we must develop a society of men and women who ape masters of themselves. In industry, if honest wages for honest work shall be a part of our social order, if agitation and sabotage shall be outlawed as they deserve to be, we will need to produce generations of men who have learned tte real value of cooperative effort and who understand the true meaning of social prosperity. The toll exacted for this is self discipline, unlimited sacrifice, earnest study and strenuous toil. Wen will have to be willing to follow when they prefer to lead, to undertake publio service without remuneration to accept criticism and fatigue as rewards for wearying hours devoted to publio interest, to place devotion to duty ahead of friendship and desire. The price is high, but it is worth the oost nto secure for us and our posterity the blessings of liberty. (?. £ r-ye- PERSONALITY One hundred fifty years ago the Continental Congress asked the thirteen 'states to send representatives to a Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia. How widely separated they ware in distance is shown by the fact that they were tc meet May 14, but some were not able to reaon there before May 26. How widely separated they were in opinions is shown by the faot that their meetings lasteo ail through that hot summer. Eaoh member had some pet or sectional idea; the result was fiery debate and ulti- mate compromise. That was one hundred fifty years ago. Still in those months of hot., sultry weather, those men were building winning personalities for themselves. Apply the rules H. J. Klinger gives today for building personality); see if these delegates did not pass with high marks. He says: 1. Learn to get along with people. 2. Learn to exhibit more patience than any other man you know. . 3. Learn to respect other men's ideas and opinions. 4. Learn to think problems through to the end. 6. Learn to put yourself in the other fellow's place. 6. Cultivate cheerfulness. 7. Work! Clyde F. Caplinger Davis and Elkins A. B. Science John Penn. ft f,Rn Mil. Col. . Sc.

Immediately he won the esteem of his rellow olassmates and was elected president in Sis.Junior and Senior years. Being a olass presi-ent might bow the shoulders and make serious and solemn many young men of Jimmy's age but not him. He laughs ana jokes with the best. In the Senior Play he had an intriguing juvenile lead but Jimmy wa6 just actin' natural. Jim is never guilty of such a minor vice as combing his hair but he is guilty, if it oan be oalled such, of brilliance. He is capable of separating his work and his play which some find it so hard to do. Jimmy has shown versatility also-, for he is a diplomat by vocation, a scientist of no mean ability by avocation, a histrionio by hobby and a sonolar by ability. 1 1 1 J J J Charles Abbey This young man who does well in his studies has a great liking for Ham Radio.

Ernest Austin Ernie does have a frozen face, but un-liko most people of this type, his physiogo-nomy (phewi) 16 pleasantly frozen. We mean that he is hardly ever seen without a smile and it might be added that this smile is even broader when Ernie is in the oompany of the fairer sex • Though it is not generally known, he oomes from California, and still retains a slight acoent.

With the valuable counoil of Mr. Booth, the faculty adviser, the sinoere cooperation of all the Coun-oilmembers and the fine spirit displayed by the entire or-ganization, the Students’ Regalian Association has terminated an edifying year. [ [ [ [ L L I : L r Service Club Cne of the youngest and most active organizations in the school, the Service Club was founded in 1933 and has grown steaaily since that time. Its growth is due to added responsibilities and a desire of many students to help the sohool. To become a member a pupil makes a written application whioh must be approved by the homeroom teacher and the faculty adviser, and then passed on by the membership committee. If accepted, the pupil is a probationary member. The olub is self-governing ana is supervised by a member of the faoulty. Muoh work has been done by the Servioe Club to alleviate the major traffic problems of the sohool. Fire drills have been given special attention in the past two years, as well as lunoh periods, assembly, and general traffic. Eaoh year the Servioe Club holds an informal party where the John Laws are able to relax and throw off their customary mantle of austerity. The cost of the party and badges are paid for by small monthly dues. The olub has been successful in carrying out its objectives by: Mr. Boyer's encouragement ana backing, the capable supervision or Mr. Finn, the faoulty adviser, and by th© wholehearted cooperation of the officers. A special vote of thanks is due the organization for its efforts and genuine cooperative spirit. The club officers for the school year 1936-1937 were as follows: Chief, Samuel Cory; Lieutenant. Albert Earle; Sec- retary, Catherine French; Treasurer, Ruth Griffith.

H. 3 from a teohnioalas well as an enjoyable standpoint. Under the skillful aavisership of Mr. Pole, to whom newspaper work is no novelty, and with a proficient editor and competent staff, the paper appeared in printed form, and was indeed cited a journalistic suooess. The hope of capturing press prizes in competition with other school newspapers was realized when two of the columns received prizes in the Guill and Scroll contest. The Wampus maintained a high standard in all its work embodying all principles of journalism. In producing each issue, the system innovated by the preceding staff, that of specialized labor , was continued. However, much more work fell upon the editorial board be-oause tne printing embraoed more technioalities than the lithographing of previous editions. Early in the year, the student bi-weekly of Boonton entered the social rield by giving an informal party for the Freshmen, and, later in tne same semester, a dance at the John Bill School for the football team. The Wampus Staff consisted of: Editor-in-Chief, Vio'tor Hillery; Associate Editor. Charles Browne; News Editor, Everett Sims; Features Eaitor, Priscilla Capen: Literary Editor, Andrew Sabol; Exchange Editor, June Dobos; Sports mditor.

Science Club Although a new addition to our already full list of extracurricular activities. “The Science Club was one of the most active clubs in the school. The club was initiated by Mr. Booth, head of tne Science Department, and a large measure of its success was due to his capable supervision and instruction. There was considerable freedom in the club, as the members were able to carry on experiments in any field that interested tnem. Some of the fields experimented in were: the liquefaction or chlorine; electro—plating; mioroBcopio observations of crystallization; and other microscopic work. Besides the individual projects, several group projects were undertaken, the most successful being the manufacture of Karo (corn syrup). The group worked together on this project for several weeks.
