Galentine Gay Glen Ferguson Dickinson President: Kathryn Ferguson Vice-president: Dorothy Dickinson The Girls' Regular Board proposes to aid all of the girls of the school to have a friendlier attitude and to uphold the high standards of the Student Body. The Board meets every Tuesday and conducts trials for the girls who have not co-operated and have broken the rules. The girls of the Board enjoy fulfilling the motto of the Board, Noblesse Obligef' which means a privilege to serve. All the members carry out this motto by serving on committees which aim to help the girls of the school. Some of the committees are hospitality, social, locker rooms, clean-up service, assembly, and philanthropic. The Senior Board has such social activities as an Asso- ciate Board tea, an installation tea, and the Senior Board dance. This Board admits only members who have recommended grades with the exception of one satisfactory mark, approved by the Faculty Point Chairman and the Girls' Senior Board. Each' girl is elected by her class. The group is encouraged by our kind, sympathetic, understanding sponsor, who is also the Girlsf vice-principal, Miss Mabel Mathews. thirty-two

The destiny of our complex world is controlled by individuals. The progress made in various countries has been in accordance with knowledge and education. From this standpoint, America has been the outstanding contributor. Soon after the establish- ment of our government, the leaders realized the necessity of education, and our public school system developed. In our schools, we have no discrimination of persons because of race, color, or creed. It is possible for all to avail themselves of these educational opportunities in our United States. The compulsory attendance at insti- tutions of learning has resulted in a degree of literacy found in no other nation of the world. These educational facilities have influenced our modern life, for never before have people been as cognizant of pertinent issues. The youth of America have, indeed, a rich heritage! We, the graduating class of W'Ll0, appreciate our educational advantagesg and our hands shall now shape new contributions to world progress! Sincerely yours, CONSTANCE KIVARI Today apparently, America has very little to offer other nations. With another World war raging, it appears that our contributions in the fields of peace and World friendship have failed completely. But I believe that before us lies a great chance to contribute to the world many of our traditions and ideals. While the rest of the world is fighting, we can be teaching and learningg while others are forming hatreds, we can be forming friendships: and while Europe is tearing down its civilizations, we can be creating a finer culture, dedicated to the betterment of mankind. Americas contributions to world progress will be to observe our great ideals of equality and freedom of speech, press and religion, and above all our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. When peace comes again to the world, we must be prepared to teach peace through democracyg for democracy is not just a form of government but a philosophy of life. The obligation will devolve upon us to con- tribute to the suffering nations our ideal of man's living together with man in peace. Sincerely yours, BOB McCLEAN America's contributions to world progress have been important in the fields of art, science, literature, industry, and government. But, today, as war ravages the frontiers of Europe, our thoughts are drawn rather to Americas contributions in the fields of goodwill, friendship, liberty, equality, and justice. America is a splendid example of goodwill, for on our Northern border, not one fortification exists from the Atlantic to the Pacific. She is also a splendid example of liberty, for each individual may speak, write, and worship as he pleases, he is limited only where he endangers the rights of others. Equality is also another of Am.erica's attributes, for, regardless of race, color, or creed, all have the opportunity of educationg and when majority is reached, of suffrage. Justice is found in her tribunals for both, rich and poor, guilty and innocent. These ideals are America's true contributions.
