To Our Senionr of 1942: Last fall your teachers adopted as their philosophy of secondary education this expression of faith: We believe in Democracy as the nearest approximation to ideal government. We believe in Democracy as a social philosophy which has its center in faith in the inherent dignity and worth of the common man. We believe in Democracy as a way of life which finds its finest and fullest expression in service to others. We believe that in a Democracy every individual's oblz19afion.,r are just as inalienable as are his rzjglzif and that the dutiful performance of the former alone can give moral sanction to the latter. We believe that Democracy must be maintained in America with all the power of our resources. We believe that Nlorality and Education are the most potent instruments in this self-perpetuation. We recognize the obligation of the Secondary School to play a vital and personalized part in the training of our youth for healthy, happy, responsible citizenship. Added to your teachers' faith in Democracy is their faith in you as in- dividuals and as responsible ' ' Our America. citizens of God bless you every one. WW 5-K ,II zlqh School Prim czloal. 9

Among the objectives of the Moorestown High School are these that cluster around the general concept of Civic Responsibility: The Moorestown High School en- deavors: 1 .

To help pupils to appreciate the value and necessity of orderliness, of logical thinking, of openmindedness, of suspended judgment, of unprejudiced decision. 5. To help pupils to develop attitudes of tolerance, of cooperation, of respect for law and order and for properly constituted authority. 4. To help the individual toward the self-development of democratic compulsion and the volun- tary surrender of individual rights which conflict with the general good of the larger society. 5. To help pupils to approach ever more nearly the ideal of self-discipline. If you as individuals accept your civic responsibilities willingly and discharge them intelli- gently and with an eye single to the public good, then you will be constructive contributors to the American Way of Life. ,KG Supervzlring Principal. 8
