Malverne High School - Oracle Yearbook (Malverne, NY)

I o M. , EUlSSfE VERY MORNING at eight- fifty from September to June about nine hundred and fifty students have embarked on another school day with mingled smiles and frowns. All day, every day, students have walked to classes with friends. From seventh-graders to seniors all have made new friendships and strength- ened old ones. Proof of our democratic way of life is that, although we vary in age and ideals, we have worked together for the common good and have considered all angles of all problems. Although we belong to different grades, we meet a representative of almost every grade in most of our classes. The fact that We may decide on our individual life work and choose sub ects that will best further our training for those careers is another example of our democracy. VVe are also given the oppor- tunity of actual experience. fl Although there exists the traditional rivalry among classes, we all cooperate in upholding the good name of Malverne High School. Even though we sometimes regard our teachers as martinets, we more often look to them for guidance. It is they who instruct us in our daily lessons, help us face present and future problems, and smooth out uneven spots in our courses.
