Burton Stephan, Superintendent of City Schools Our Superintendent Speaks The schools are exerting every effort to help defend this great nation. This is done by developing mental alertness in the individual and in the group, by helping to develop wholesome attitudes of life, and by upholding the wonderful heritage that is ours in America. The boys and girls in our schools realize that American history is a pattern designed by many nationalities, yet strictly American; that American art and literature are the productions of sons and daughters of many creeds and religions; that American science and mdustry are accomplishments of the earliest pioneers and of the latest immigrants. Our foremost interest is the preservation of American ideals. We are happy to ac- cept this plaque. We shall carefully observe and study its inscription to the end of holding sacred American ideals of Democracy. The preceding speech was delivered at the Community Gym on October 10, 1941, when the Kiwanis Club presented The American Creed plaque to the Huntington Schools.

At that time it consisted of one counselor, but in 1940 it advanced to four counselors, each having a special class to work with. Besides extending individual guidance, the committee has pro- moted home room guidance. As a special feature in this program different speakers offered their advice to the juniors and seniors as to the technique of getting a job and in making personality adjustments.

Harold Johnson, Principal uf Huntington High School Our PrincipalfSpeaks Harold Johnson We are undergoing today one of those great historical storms which sweep periodi- cally through human affairs. This storm is shaking profoundly the economic, the political, the social, and the spiritual order which men have labored long and patiently to solve. We can at best salvage a portion of the harvest we have garnered; but this portion we can scrupulously conserve, mindful of the planting to be done when the storm abates and the sunshine returns. Let us strive to embody in our lives and in the lives of others those principles of human relationship which constitute the groundwork of the tomorrow. Huntington High School students have always proven themselves capable of taking their place with other leaders of our nation. Our students will continue to do their share serving their nation where and when the need occurs. May we be among the first to promote the conditions which will make for a better world in which to live. Imogene Snyder, Secretary to the Principal
