H HIESSHGE Q70 the Glass o 4941 ONE OP the most commendable traits in the ideal Empehi student everyone recog- nizes is loyalty. This is one of the greatest words in the English language. Strong loyalties cement the bonds which hold families, social groups, and nations together, This is' also true of schools. When we are united in our purposes and in our loyalties, we shall be tops in everything we undertake. It is easy enough to be enthusiastic in supporting winning teams and other successful school enterprises, but the acid test of student loyalty lies in the contin- uing support Which we give to our fel- low students when the going is tough. These are the circumstances which tell the story of real worth and expose what is counterfeit. ln these days of proving and testing, may none of us be found wanting in our loyalties to our. family, our school, and our country. Let us be just as in- tense in our devotion to our country as were the youth of '76 or of any other period in our national history. Let us not be unmindful of all the benefits which we enjoy as citizens of this great land of ours, Two lines of our school creed read as follows: May we be worthy of our school By giving the best that is in us. This sentiment might well be extend- ed to apply to our country. Our de- mocracy may not be perfect, but it is the best form of government the ingenu- ity of finite minds has been able to con- trive. As we stand in the shadow of portentous world events, let us be loyal and unwavering in our devotion to high ideals realizing that We stand at Armageddon and we battle for the Lord. Whatever the future may have in store for us, let us not fail properly to evalu- ate those qualities which all men in past history have regarded as the very essence of nobility and heroism. So long as we hold fast to the ideals which were so thoroughly cherished by our illustrious forebears, the United States will con- tinue to fulfill its great mission, and en- dure forever. EsToN V.

FHEULTU Cglzey ma e us what we are today ONE OF the principal theories of mod- ern education is that members of a facul- ty should be friends and counselors of the students. In the light of this Mor- gan Park is by no means behind the times, for not only do Empehi's teach- ers excel in teaching, but they are also genuine friends of all students they have in class. It is because of a relationship such as this, where Empehites know they can call upon their faculty friends at any time to help in giving a dance or pro- moting a club, that enables Morgan Park to have the largest extra-curricular pro- gram of any school its size. Besides working with the students, the faculty lends a helping hand to those in trouble or those who need aid. For this purpose the new Placement Council which helps students and grad- uates to Hnd jobs, was established. The Adjustment Department, which seeks to smooth over difficulties and help the stu- dent in his school work, was enlarged. A vocational guidance service for juniors and seniors, a branch of the N. Y. A., which finds jobs for needy students: and the P. T. A., which promotes coopera- tion between home and school are all a part of the program. With faculty-student relationships such as these it is no wonder that Mor- gan Park is stepping ahead. Page 12
