. V. ..w,Y...., , . ,ing -.- Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain. -Revelation 3:2. Already our hearts have been saddened by the departure of some from our faculty and student body. They have gone to fight for our protection, It humbles us to think that we have had so little thankfulness for the good days together and for all God's goodness to us. Probably it will not be possible to publish another annual until the war is won. lt is important that we strengthen our courage and vision for the future by a backward look over the lasting accomplishments of nine progressive years. At Manley High, co-operation has come to mean much, lt is a way of life. Stu- dents and teachers have come to believe in each other, have learned to make plans together, have faced disappointments with determination, and have found new ways to carry on successfully. This is the American way of life. Improvements have been made each year in the building, in its equipment and on the campus grounds. These have been encouragements. The most important im- provement has been the deepening spirit of understanding and confidence between the students, faculty and the engineering staff. A few characteristic quotations will illustrate. A first time assembly visitor remarked, l feel a friendly spirit here. At the close of an office interview a pupil saidj Don't you think that penalty is rather severe? A new pupil, a fine player, was trying out for a team. It was found that he was always tricky and disregarded the established Manley rules of fair play, The coach dismissed him with this remarki We can't use you at Manley. A pupil facing the consequences of continued wrong-doing asked, How can I give you some assurance that it is worth while to give me one more chance? The answer was, Have you established any credit? lf so, some teacher who believes in you may be willing to ask leniency for you. Self-respect, mutual respect, friendly understanding, willing obedience to lawful authority, fair play and reverence toward God, are simple essentials for a real American. God grant that the years of comradeship at Manley may be an inspira- tion to each student. Let us be Americans in our hearts and in our lives. Thank God for the blessings we have had. May the words from the Bible quoted at the beginning express our earnest purpose for the coming days. ' Sincerely yours,
