NH Bh- TO THE CLASS OF '33 GEORGE C. BAKER Superwiring Principal T IS with pleasure that we extend greetings to the members of the Class of 1955. We wish you continued success and happi- ness. We charge you to face the future with hope and courage. The hope for the future rests with the youth of today. It is a well- known fact that the political and economic leaders of the world failed to avert the difficulties through which we have been passing. We trust the members of the Class of 1955 will be found among the pioneers who are to lay the basis for a new and better civilization. Vision the future as it should be and work for its accomplishment. Where there is no vision, the people perish. You are completing your secondary education at a time when unemployment and distress are in evidence everywhere. To be able to continue your schooling may be impossible for some. To be able to secure employment may be impossible for others. Regardless of these unfortunate temporary conditions you are urged not to permit yourself to despair. Smile in the face of fate. Be cheerful, hopeful, and pleasant even though the world seems to be out of joint. However dark the present, there is always amorrow for him who has developed his talents and has kept himself physically and mentally fit. Be able to direct your thoughts instead of being at the mercy of your thoughts. Your teachers have striven to render the largest service possible to the State and to you personally by emphasizing fine character, lofty motives, social ideals, civic service, and a patriotism that makes the individual ready to live or to die for his country. May these lofty ideals inspire your leadership and direct your actions. May your life be broader, richer and happier because you attended the Moorestown High School. PAGE 6 THE NUTSHELL

482 HN' GREETINGS To The Seniors MARY E. ROBERTS H llgll School Princzloal N DAYS like these when material standards rise and fall, when, without apparent reason and without appreciable warning, the whole economic structure of' an individual's little world topples to destruction, and the flimsy props of a false sense of security yield to the blows of blind Fortune, we must all reconstruct our ideas of relative values, reweigh our assets and liabilities, reshape our budgets,-in a phrase, readjust ourselves to the narrower confines of a more restricted sphere of activity. As we set about this difficult task, our first instinctive move- ment toward self-preservation is the making of a careful inventory of what remains to us that we can regard as stable, irreducible, to- be-counted-on. The farther we go in our survey, the more con- vinced we are that it is the intangible elements in our make-up that are least liable to diminution, destruction, or decay. A mind schooled, a nature seasoned, a philosophy of life tested and proved, a character stabilized by experience-these are the imperishable riches. Any student of Life, in balancing his ledger, will put on the credit side of the account education, knowledge, training, experi- ence, and the wisdom born of these. He will count as profit every circumstance that deepens his knowledge, widens his experience, and refines his character. May our Seniors, as they leave their school, take with them an abundance of those treasures that neither moth nor rust can corrupt, and that thieves cannot break through nor steal. PAGE 8 THE NUTSHELL
