opl DIAKE THE DIFFERENCE Gears that mesh smoothly with fellow gears in a machine and continue to do so under fire must be made of the finest mater- ial. They must do efficiently their alloted share of work and not jam the whole ma- chine. At Lower Merion, the young men and women are the best, the ideal elements to make strong smooth-running gears and machines. In senior high school, the partly finished students are machined and formed by their studies and activities to a point where they are fit to take a. place in the in- tricate machine of life. Some continue to college and business schools, where they are more finely polished for more skilled work: some gain jobs immediately upon gradnationl others proceed, ready, into the armed forces. Lower Merion, from varied and excellent material, is turning out the precision parts that are necessary in an accurate, durable machine geared to the tempo of the times.

One might gather from reading previous ENCHIRIDIONS that the chief function of the Faculty Council is to consume large quan- tities of tea. This group, however, has a far more serious purpose and may be considered the clearing house for many matters of gen- eral school interest, the planning committee of the faculty. As a result of thoughtful discussions, problems are reduced to essen- tials, thus saving much time at the regular faculty meetings. Many decisions are made by this group and put into practice. The organization had its inception just previous to Mr. Gilbert's arrival at Lower Merion, when the school was without a prin- cipal. It has been continued since that time because it has become a valuable working committee of the faculty. An unusual spirit of good will and cooperation exists in its meetings, making it a privilege and a plea- sure to serve as one of its members. PAUL KEEVER We who administer the operation of Lower Merion School District are constantly striv- ing to meet the educational demands and to properly interpret changing conditions of our community. This is a world of work. There should be plans to stimulate rather than contrivances to suppress people. Individuals progress, provide for their security, and find happiness only as they produce. Nations prosper and grow only as their people grow and produce. Your Board of Education recognizes these facts and is constantly striving to meet the challenge by providing the proper facilities with which to educate and train our students. May your successes be unlimited. E. E. BURLINGAME Presidelzf Board of Education Lower Merion School District EVERY SET 0F GEAIIS RIUST IIE lil'lIlED i1'l1'r'l1
