ScL oo imaf Dallastown High School had in the past few years talked of selecting a school animal. The time finally came when the members of the Student Council put their heads together and arranged for a school vote. By a great majority, the Wild Cat was chosen. The Wild Cat will fight to protect its young ones and it has a savage aspect, especially when irritated. We think this well suits our Alma Mater. 8

3 Mr. Urias J. Daugherty Supervising Principal Lebanon Valley College Bachelor of Arts Degree Teaching Subjects: Physics Chemistry English We are surrounded on every hand by mighty forces in our physical world. Many of them are of such common occurrence, operate so silently, that we scarcely become aware of their presence. It is only when some unusual phenomenon of power manifests itself that we stand in awe and amazement at the Cause that produces it. Within the con- fines of the material body of every member of the Class of 1947 there are potential and vastly more potent forces than are revealed in the world of nature, seeking to be released. In both instances they will be- come our willing servants by conforming to the laws that gov- ern them, but they will destroy us if we oppose them. Man has learned to work with the force of nature but because of his intense interest in things, he has almost wholly neglected to direct the moral and spiritual forces within himself. To learn to apply these forces to the greatest advantage is one of the principal motives in education and, since educational processes do not cease on grad- uation day, the duty to direct and rightly to apply the powers now lying dormant within you is enjoined upon every member of the class. Good habits are an enormous asset to any one who possess them; habits of clear and clean thinking are of incalcu- lable value. Many have long ago been formed and we trust most of them are good. We are hoping, therefore, that it may not be thought indiscreet to encourage you, before leaving these halls that have long since adjusted their vibrations to the sounds of your voices, to take inventory of your habits, emotions and attitudes, to discard the worthless, and to improve that which is good; cultivate faith in yourself, in your fellow-man and in God; ally yourselves with a great cause; set your ideals in the realm of the stars; practice tolerance so that there may be “malice toward none and charity for all”; then, as you go out to serve, in whatever humble sphere it may be, a kind Providence will be your constant Guide and Counsellor. 0
