Peace of mind comes only to those who are true to themselves. Be true to others by fulfilling your obligations toward the rest of the world. Tolerance is a common word but it is not practiced enough. It’s up to everyone of us to see that the word and its meaning become a part of every American’s vocabulary and mode of life. In being true to ourselves and true to others we are fulfilling the ideals of our school. Your President, BETTY SZERBIAK
