THE FUTURE It is very gratifying to be associated with a school that is growing and giving every promise of developing into an institution that will far surpass its own past size and achievement. Small schools have some advantages to be desired such as the intimate contact made possible between pupils and faculty. On the other hand the large school Is able to furnish better physical equipment such as libraries, auditoriums, gymnasiums, laboratories, and shops which more than compensate for the advantages of the small school . All the fine buildings and equipment ever created, however, will not make a really fine school without a student-body which will strive to make itself worthy of such an environment. Just as much loafing can be done in a good library as in a poor one and the same amount of listlessness can be shovm in a well equipped lab- oratory as in one that is not so well furnished with scientific apparatus. In a very short time the Marple- Newtown High School will find itself housed in a new building fitted out with all the latest and best equipment ' designed to carry on educational activities. It is up to the students to match this physical plant with a vigorous, determined resolve that they will never be satisfied with poor, shoddy effort, but will throw themselves Into all school activities, curricular and extra- curricular, in such a manner that no doubt will remain that they are doing their very best. If this spirit of high-level achievement is maintained In our student-body, the communities supporting our high school will feel amply well paid for the ex- penditures that they will have made in their effort to provide the boys and girls of Marple and Newtovm with adequate educational facilities. 10 Jay W.
