Principal’s Message T o THE Members of the Class of 1936: One of the major p urposes of attending school is the development of the power to discriminate between true and false values — to separate the wheat from the chaff. Upon the proper development of this ability to choose wisely between that which is worthwhile and that which is worthless will depend the fact of whether you will lead a praiseworthy life or just merely put in time during that part of your career which lies ahead beyond the school years. In your literature classes you have been encouraged to devote your reading efforts to that kind of printed matter which portrays life’s finest ideals. In the Problems of Democ- racy class you have been shown the great desirability of choosing that which is best in civic life. Musical compositions of the highest type have been played in the music appreciation class in order to cultivate in you a taste for the best in music. The art work has striven to elevate your taste in pictures and illustrations. Everywhere in the entire course of study have you found the true values stressed. From this point on, you alone can demonstrate whether or not all of these endeavors by your school on your behalf have been worthwhile. If you go out from the Marple-Newtown High School determined to let these true values be your guiding star, then will all of our labors be richly repaid and our work will not have been in vain. We of the faculty have full faith that our efforts will gain rich results and we are looking forward confidently to the future for our hopes to be justified. Your sincere friend. Supen ' ising Principal.
