THE KNIGHT p EDlTO rn, MR. HENRY J. NEAL Mingled with the pleasures and joys of assembling for another year's work, there is a feeling of sadness as we again take up our school ac- tivities. In the death of our supervisor, Mr. Neal, every student and member of the faculty feels a sense of personal loss. The Knight, in behalf of the student body, extends to his bereaved family and loved ones its deepest and most heartfelt sympathy. THE FRESHMEN With the opening of school the many activities awaken after being dormant during the hot summer months. The freshmen come and they are filled with vim and vigor and they intend to make their class the best class in Collingswood High Sch-ool. Here are a few Words to those who are entering High School for the first time and to whom this magazine is dedicated. This year marks a great change in your lives. You are given more liberties and are under less restraint than you were in the grades. It is your duty not to abuse the many privileges granted you. You have reached an age where things are expected of you. You are not the children you were a year ago. You have come to an age where you see and understand things from a different point of view. The year of your graduation, 1926, should be a memorable one, not only because it marks the time of your graduation but because great things will be happening in the outside world. In that year the great Delaware Bridge will be completed. This marvelous feat of engineering is certainly an event which should go down in history. Also in that year the great World's Fair will be at its height. There will be a steady bustle as people go to and from this wonderful Fair, a thing far beyond description. Freshmen, the business conditions are such to-day that it behooves you to make the best of your education. Get ashmuch schooling as you 8

THE KNIGHT can. Comparatively few people -in this world are successful without an education. In any position where there restslresponsibility an employer invari- ably demands at least a high school education. Opportunities come only once and it is up to you to make the best of them. Here is your opportunity. A ORGANIZATIONS The football team and the many clubs have come to life again. It seems that the football team is even better than last year's team and has every prospect of a successful seas-on. It is the duty of all of 'us to boost and encourage the fellows in their battles so that they may he victorious and add a few more honors to those already won. Clubs and societies are important in school life. It is one of the means by which the student's interest in school work is held-especially those who are unable to make the athletic teams. If they do not play on any team their interest naturally falls on some other activity. Some of the clubs have new ideas and plans of procedure for this year. For instance the Hi-Y group has plans for the year that will make the meetings much more enjoyable for the fellows. Instead of having a speaker every week, as has been the custom, there will be lively dis- cussions carried on by the fellows two or three nights in the month. One night a month there will be a supper prepared entirely by the members of the group. V I The other organizations also expect to have a bigger and better year. The Seniors began the year with an exciting political campaign. It took strong arguing and heated discussions to decide who should be their president. After three years in Collingswood High School they all feel fully rewarded by having the honor of being members of the Senior Class. When they, graduate next June, their 'ways will part. Their many good times together will be only memories of the past. The staff of The Knightn has striven hard in the attempt to put forth a publication worthy of our school, oneethat will interest every reader and make him glad that he subscribed to f'The Knight. No d-oubt everyone is not pleased. It would be surprising indeed if we could satisfy over seven hundred different tastes. All that we can say is that if those who are dissatisfied will offer any suggestion that they have for improvement, it would be gratefully received. It is really the duty of anyone who has some ideas for improvement of the magazine to suggest them to some member of the Staff. To hold back your 'sug- gestion is to hold back a better publication.
