Claw of 1933 +411 Bl THE HONOR GROUP HEN a runner emerges victorious at the end of a gruelling race, he is accorded the cheers of the multitude. All raise their voices in glad acclaim, to do honor to the successful competitor. What marvelous muscle control! What endurance! What speed! These and a thousand other utterances attest the admiration evoked by the victor's prowess. But few indeed are they who see with that long vision that views happenings in their true perspective, the long grind of training, the rigid discipline of the track, the temperance, and the self-denial that have resulted in such perfect coordination of mind and muscle. No one stood by the track to cheer him on as, day after day, he trained for the great event g but he was there, unfailingly, giving every ounce of his energy to the rigid requirements of the training. Without the long, long preparation that taxed nerves and sinews and muscles to their utmost, the glorious day of achievement when the world shouted his name to the echoing skies would never have arrived. So it is with our honor students. Through four long years theyhaveaddedtointerest,zealg tozeal,industryg toindustry, ambi- tiong to ambition, initiative g and to initiative, the persistence that knows no discouragement, that welcomes tasks as opportunities, that values culture above ease, duty above desire. They too heard no encouraging shouts during the weary days land nightsb of their gruelling grind. They too pursued their tasks steadily, cheerfully, ably. They gained ever-increasing power to achieveg they sur- mounted ever more and more readily the difficulties that beset their paths. At length they too have emerged victorious amid the plaudits of their fellows. All of us in Moorestown High School delight in giving honor to whom honor is due-our Honor Group, our highest ranking ten per cent: ROBERT SMITH, Finrf Honor ELSIE STEIN, Second Honor BENJAMIN COOPER HOBART GARDNER RUTH RAYMOND WILLARD LAEssLE FRANK ATKINSON MILDRED REPSHER ALBERTA EDGAR EDWIN ROGERS VERNETTE PRICE IOSEPH DELUCA 9' PAGE 11

QQ 0 EDITORIAL M-4 ga .,1g'.::fz:1.ie-'f - M' The Choice That Lies Before Us ALBERTA EDGAR, '55 T he world wax all lvefore llzem, where io cl1oo.re Their place of re.rl, and Providence llzeir guide. HOICE is a daily problem. It is not anything new, for as Milton points out in Paradire Lo.rl, Adam and Eve might choose the place where they were to live after they were sent forth from Eden. As we are graduating from high school we, too, have all the world before us and have a choice to make which is most important. The work that we are going to do the rest of our lives will probably be determined now. Since we may make either the right or wrong choice we must think seriously about this matter. We must consider our abilities and decide how we can best use whatever talents we may possess. Some may be choosing their life's work because they have a particular talent in a certain fieldg some may admire the work of another and wish to follow in his pathg others may Choose whatever they can find. Since we all have been placed here to perform some special piece of work, may our choice be the right one. If in a few years we find that we have chosen the wrong career, it will be hard to start all over again and build anew. May all in the Class of '55 choose wisely and so make a happy start toward purposeful living. PACE 10 THE N UTSHELL
