Warpie - unl or .Sell oo “The many activities of high school are culminated in the graduation exercises. The purpose of the graduation program is that of symbolizing a mastery of a challenge and the passing of an important milestone in the lives of our young people. As the passing of each milestone on any journey reveals a new horizon, so graduation un- veils new horizons of opportunity and of challenge. Graduation from high school, therefore, is not only an end but also a beginning; it is the beginning of new opportunity for greater individual growth, and, also, the be- ginning of greater responsibility and greater challenge. The world of man is dynamic; it is on the move for better or for worse. In man’s expanding mastery over his physical world lies his greatest opportunity to make his world a better place in which to live. It is in man’s mastery of himself wherein lies the challenge.” WILLIAM F. NYE, B.S., M.S. Junior High School Principal own 4

aren ts The School Board has been a thoughtful and diligent guide for us at M.N. The members of the board have planned extensively in order to meet the demands of an expanding community and school. The new senior high raised its pillars to the sky this year in recogni- tion of this progressive planning. Teamwork and understanding are the goals of this influential organization of our parents and teachers. Through our successful P.T.A. a stronger bond be- tween home and school has been created. This year the P.T.A. held many informative panel discussions with other civic groups, conducted a program honoring Miss Helen E. Yeinget, expressed their desire for a scholarship, and investigated M.N. ' s present report card system. Busy - this is the pace of the newly formed Boosters’ Club that is always serving Marple-Newtown. The main objective is to steadily increase the athletic interest surrounding our school. Steadily? Within this year alone, all of the students have witnessed the tremendous surge of supporters at our games and other sports events. We at Marple-Newtown appreciate the work being accomplished by these groups and hope that their ex- ample will be only the beginning for continued progress in the future. Behind Table! W.
