NIARTHA CARSON, ,SQ 1 I HE introduction of the high school has everywhere been acknowledged as .1 a splendid move. The high school training prepares the student to continue 5 his work in a scientific, mechanical, academic, or commercial field. And this same training sutliciently equips the student to enter the business world upon his graduation. At this time of the year, our thoughts are all inclined toward Moorestown High School, since our stay here is all but endedg and in this topic particularly, since we know her training to be excellent. In the majority of cases each student, upon leaving M. H. S., is furnished with an accumulation of facts ready for use, which is totally different from his neighbor-'s. This is due in the main to the varying interests, which in turn cause students to choose Widely different courses or combinations of courses. This choice entails a variation of lessons with unequal accomplishments, and therefore, a wide variation of knowledge obtained and retained. If, however, a student has lived a healthy high school life, these vast differences serve but to bring us all to one end. Any student surviv.ing', to graduate, has, in developing his own personality, and adapting that personality to group living, learned cooperation. And, after all, since we do not live this life alone, is this not a worthy and valuable lesson for a high school to give a student? This attainment is nurtured primarily in the classroom and its work, where the student finds out for himself that cooperation is essential to his progress. It is fostered in athletics, the success of which is in proportion to the cooperation. It is coaxed in the extra-curricular activities which include plays, clubs, and other organ- fCO7ll l:7l'1l8d on page 955

GREAT English sage put into terse phraseology an idea that many A thoughtful persons have shared when he said, Knowledge is Power. ' VVith each accomplishment achieved, there comes a developing ability to meet new and more difficult demands, to climb to greater heights, to breathe the more rarefied air of the loftier plane attained. As the path winds ever up and up, the traveler enjoys a broader and ever broader viewg his horizon expands, the tram- mels of awkward inexperieuce are shaken OH, and he enjoys the new freedom born of conscious success. The members of Moorestown High School's honor group have laid for themselves a substantial foundation on which to build the superstructure of culture.They have acquit- ted themselves Well, and are entitled to the respect of their classmates and schoolmates. They have added their chapter to the scholastic history of hioorestown High School. It remains now for them to pursue their careers with honor, to meet without loss of respect the larger competition that the world of affairs will offer them. As they rise on 'gstepping-stones of their dead selves to nobler things, they ivil be attended by hloorestown High School's best good wishes to her honor students of 1932: Emma Powell, Jane Blaker, Jene Bailey, Dorothy Mozer, Esther Cresthull, Esther hlullowney, Richard VValroncl, Joseph Steinmetz, hiildred Adams, Dorothy Jones, Alice Foster, and Charlotte Brown. -,QP f ti 14, .... 5. eQEs ,a df5g
