Marple-Newlown Principal s Message l upils in junior and senior liigli schools are not inclined to he told. The loregoing words appear in an article designed for the instruction of high school teachers and set forth one of the coinmoidN recognized characteristics of hoys and girls in our secondary schools. Granting the corrc ' ctness of the above statement it hehooves our pupils to realize the efforts being made by their teachers and parents to remedy the lack of self-directive powers that pupils must of necessity ha ' e due to their lack ol life-e.xperience. Coo|jeration ol pupils with their elders in these ellorts for their I )etter guidance will be repaid richly. Many pitfalls of various kinds will be a ' oided. Moral guid- ance will settle many doubtiul |)oints in the held of right and wrong. Ed ucalional guidance will direct a boy or girl into areas of ediu ational effort more nearly attuned to their unic|ue abilities. X ' ocational advice may [joint the way into the type of lile-work that will not only |)ay the greatest material returns but also lurnish the largest amount of happiness. By paying serious attention to the acKice ol their teachers and parents in all areas in which it may be o ffered. e ' er pupil N ' ill have a xastly increasc ' d chance of being jjiaced upon the road that leads to a lull and successful life. It is my earnest wish that every member of the Class of 19-18 may find this road and travel ujjon it through all those years that stretch ahead. Your sincere friend.
