We Meet Good Morning. What joy and enthusiasm is expressed by one and all as we greet each other in the newness of a school morning. Teachers and pupils cordially set the pace for another day's work and play. Friends on buses, pals along the street, and companions in cars or on bicycles equally share in the hap- piness of comradeship and fellowship one with the other. Whether for one day of the school year or for the nine months, this same friendliness creates the atmosphere in which we all live, grow, and advance along the road to achievement. The services of t.he many personnel who keep the wheels of our school mov- ing so smoothly, the sacrifices of devoted teachers and parents, and the loyalty, friendship, and co-operation of the many students-these are the qualities of the people whom we meet here day after day.
