Principal's Message DEAR CLASS or 1953. Congratulations to you for having chosen the theme '4Democracy at Work for your edi- tion of the CATATLER. Developing educated citizens who are enthusiastic about maintain- ing and sustaining our democratic way of life is the main concern of our public schools. ln the bulletin Educating for Citizenship, published by the Pennsylvania De- partment of Public Instruction, we find this statement: ln these times peoples of the whole world grope and pray for some way of life which will give them as groups and as individuals within the group, freed um, liberty, happiness, and peace. This nation, America, believes that a lived democracy can offer these things. Therefore, the schools of Pennsylvania must proceed courageously and creatively to teach the value of democratic citizenship through living, reasoned action . . . I believe your yearbook reflects the philosophy of this school concerning our firm belief and interest in democracy. However, each one must make his contri- bution to this democratic society. It means work, determination, and constant vigi- lance. A friend of mine has sent me a copy of one of his untitled poems, which l want to share with you. If you think that you can do it, Then you can. Confidence will pull you through it. Try the plan. With a steady concentration And a fixed determination And a ready consecration Play the man. w. e. b., jr. As you move through life, many of the facts you have learned here will be forgotten, but your attitudes and beliefs will stay with you. If you play the man,', you will always keep your faith in our Democracy. My best wishes to all of you. Sincerely yours, 5-+.,CJ C. i Supervising Principal l 7
