i KOi' THE HONOR GROUP IF TO do were as easy as to know what to do, beggars had been kings.” It is a human failing for folk to weary in well-doing, to start a task with keen interest and enthusiasm, and, ere the task is accomplished, to transfer their interest and effort to something more zestful, more novel, or just newer. Robert W. Service's words describing such folk may well l e applied to most of human kind: “If they just went straight, they might go Jar; They are fine and brave and true: Hut they re always tired oj the things that are. And they want the strange, the new. To their everlasting credit, it can be said of some students that they do pursue their course with conviction and courage, with industry and zeal; that they apportion their time anti energy systematically; that they turn Purpose into Endeavor, and Endeavor into Accomplishment. Such are our Honor Students, that ten per cent of our Graduating Class ranking highest. To these, who have chosen “ the l»etter part, ” our congratulations are sincerely and heartily offered: Jane White Betty Ellis Rose Palme Colores LeConey Mary Stevenson Harry Fellner Marjorie Lyons Ruth Feisst Everett Braddock Rita Cerullo William Stewart Margaret Roberts P 9 12 — THE NUTSHELL

Bryan sounded a spiritual note in his address on “Religion anti Democracy: “Where shall we find an ideal that we may believe in through whatever darkness and danger wc have to pass? The highest possibility is a society of persons, each dependent, each free, each in large part self-directed, yet working together in harmony toward the highest good. We who are being taught in the progressive schools of United States are fully conscious of this new note in education. We realize that the new methods of discipline in the school today call forth the best in us. Through student participation responsibilities are assumed by the students themselves. Wc fully realize that these methods in our training are employed to develop in us self-control, self-reliance, and poise. It has been our privilege to be trained in a school whose standards arc recognized as among the highest in the state of New Jersey. It shall be our aim to live the creed to which we have subscribed. For the educational opportunities that we have enjoyed in the Moorestown High School we are very grateful. Pag 14 THE NUTSHELL
