FOREWORD ACCORD with the statement, “No man is sufticient unto himself ’ we were brought, as Seniors, to the realization that no class is sui ' licient unto itself. As we look back over our four years of high school life we are conscious of the fact that our measure of success would have been slight, had it not been for the help of others. Cooperation can best be learned by example and practice. Cooperation, like charity, begins at home, d ' here the child first sees its value and first learns to work with others. Here he is trained to take his place in the community. Community cooperation is necessary tor successful achievement. To be success- ful and prosperous, a community, no matter how large or small, needs the co- operation of all the people in it. A community whose people are willing to work together to secure their ideals is a community that is sure to be progressive. In the business world cooperation is a necessary rung to the ladder of success. No business organization can be a profitable concern unless employers and employes work together. Today nations, too, are interested in cooperation. International transporta- tion, and trade have united the interests of all peoples. Treaties and leagues are evidences of their desire for friendly assistance. They must learn to work together to achieve peace and prosperity. Thus the success of towns, industries, individuals and nations depends upon their ability and willingness to work together. Cooperation makes the world go round. In our high school course, we have actually seen the beneficial results of coopera- tion. The people of the community have been very willing to aid our cause. They have helped us in whatever way they could, whenever they could. W e realize that the success of the “Bake,” the Chicken Supper, the Play and the Operetta, and the class parties given at the homes of various students depended upon the friendliness and helpfulness of the community members. To the other classes in Alarple-Newdown High School, we want to point out the fact that cooperation between classes and students is essential. Probably without realizing it, the other students have cooperated with us. They too, helped us make a success of parties and dances. They made our sale of candy and milk profitable. It IS also important for a class to know that all the students of a class organiza- tion must cooperate. 1 he division of a class into factions is detrimental to the success of the entire group. On the other hand, great things can be accomplished by an organization whose members are willing to work together. The two chief alms of every class in our school arc the trip to Washington and a successful graduation. The Seniors now realize that without the interest of all members of our class, these achievements would have been impossible. I ' he evidence of the cooperation within the class has been the realization of both hopes. Others have assisted us to make our Senior year a success; we have learned by actual experience the fruits of cooperation. As alumni of Marple-Newtown High School, as sons and daughters in our homes, as citizens in our communities, we prom- i se, to those who have helped us, cooperation.
