Supervising Principal ' s Message Every boy and girl inourgreat country has been taught that in this land of freedom there is no bar to a person ' s progress except his own peculiar limi totions . This preachment is true but it has a tendency to play up the what ' s in i t for me atti tude and to make true the state- ment that to too many people in this country democracy means, I am as good as you and not You are as good as I. We should remember that the freedom offered in the United States must encourage consideration for the other fel low. In this way coopera- tion is encouraged and we are doing our part to bind together the citi- zens of America and to make stronger that nation for which our arm- ed forces are so courageously fighting. Freedom does not give us the privilege to stand up in a movie and yell Fire, 11 just because we feel like it, nor does it bestow on us the right to disregard a monitor in the corridors when passing from class to class. Freedom does place upon us the responsibility of making a cho ice of action each time the occasion arises, which will not work harm to the other fellow. The hot-rodder may think he is having a good time racing down the middle of the highway but look at the poor cho ice of action he has made. Freedom, then, offers us in America a very wide latitude of action . Let us a Iways choose that course of action which will add something to the common good and wi 1 1 make our nation a strong , well knit-together organi zation , we II able to ward off the efforts of any group seeki ng to weaken it. J. W. Worall Supervising Principal 1 1

School Board School Board Does Long-range Planning The Marple-Newtown Joint School Board is made up of the com- bined School Boards from Marple and Newtown townships. Mr. Frank Capotosto is president Mr. Eugene W. Ewing is vice- president, Mr. Wilmer F. Loomis is secretary, and Mr. Charles H. Russell is treasurer. The Board has two very definite projects for this year: one, the continuance of the evaluation program for the school, and another, the expansion survey for a long-range building program for the high school . Early this year Mr. John Gable, who had faithfully served on the School Board for nineteen years, retired and was succeeded by Mr. William Culbertson. Deep appreciation is extended to these ten seldom-thanked men who have so willingly given up their time to attend meetings and to work on projects connected with the betterment of the high school program . 10
