LETTERS TO THE EDITOR serving of the best educational opportunities available. Ten years from now those who with- drew from school will probably say, 'Tm sorry I didn't finish my school work. I wish I had an op- portunity to do it over again. But then it will be too late. Today it must be forcefully shown to our boys and girls, and it must be pointed out, that regularity of attendance and being on time are important foundation stones upon which their lives are being built. Nothing but eventual dis- appointment and loss of oppor- tunity can be predicted for boys and girls who are withdrawing from' school during our present war emergency. LAWRENCE E. GRIM Principal of the Boyertown High School Boyertown, Penna. B. H. S. AT WAR Sir: The public schools of Boyer- town provide a flexible program of education with the aim of at- taining as many types of ob- jectives as possible. The school system is governed by state laws, As local administrators, we must formulate rules and regulations. The purpose of these is the pro- motion of orderly and efficient administration. Our schools are making an ef- fort to meet the current national needs by offering pre-induction training at the upper levels, and by supplying other important services at all levels. In carrying on the business of war, however, we must not forget the import- ance of fully Winning the peace. It is important, therefore, that at all times we maintain an open mind on all questions, and that we be thoughtfully receptive to new ideas for the development of the children and youth of our nation. Our supervisors, teachers, cus- todians, and other school em- ployees are patriotic and loyal in every way. They have con- tributed hours of their own time in registering men for the se- lective service, in assisting with the national rationing programs, in cooperating in the salvaging of essential materials, and in assist- ing with the conservation pro- gram. We extend our thanks and appreciation for this splendid record of devoted service in the national war effort. I extend my best wishes to the class of 1943, to the entire stu- dent body, and to all friends of educational progress. HARVEY D. RITTER President of the Boyertown School Board B0yertowu. Penna. Homer Herb is a former member of thc class of 1943. Daniel Bause and Gwendolyn Keyser are the most popular members of the Senior class. Grace Sterner and John Sterner are the biggest man and woman haters in the class of 1943. 5
