MFRVIN W. BRANDT Szipervixing Principal ' BA., M.A., Millersville State Teachers College, Franklin and Marshall College, Elizabethtown College, Columbia University, Temple University. To the Class QFIQ46: 0 . The Borough of Mount joy has offered you, through its public school system, the opportunity to secure your elementary and secondary education. This has been done at considerable expense to your parents, to the community, and to the State. In addition, it has cost on your part, time, energy, physical strength, perseverance and patience. The faculty who were responsible for your instruction have been many and of varied types, but all looked ahead to the time when you would have completed your task. Now the question properly arises: VVas your education worth what it cost the State, the community, your parents, yourselves? Will what you do from here out, justify the effort put forth on the part of all concerned in it? In short, was it worthwhile? That question cannot be answered now--either by you, or anyone else. Ten, fifteen, twenty years hence-then you, and we, should know. To paraphrase, Now you see through a glass darkly-but then shall you know even as you are known. In the meanwhile, your Alma Mater, your parents, your teachers and your fellow students will be interested witnesses of your progress, as well as Your supervising principal, MERVIN W. BRANDT Elcfzwrl,

Once again it is our privilege to greet a Senior Class through the medium of the yearbook, which all of us hope will be most successful. :X year ago we all looked forward hopefully to the end of the war, and we are most thankful that our hopes have been realized. But now that it has ended, what of the futurefyour future? Your public school education will help a lot, but it is not in itself the key which will unlock the doors to a successful future. ln the aftermath of a World War such as we have seen, the world will present many diHiculties which you must overcome, and with determination and courage you can conquer them. Great people have always sprung from troublesome times, because they have fought their way through. Our aim has been, and always will be, to provide the youth of our community with the best educational facilities that we can furnish. Whether or not you have taken full advantage of them, each of you knows individually. If you have not taken all that was offered, tell those who follow you and advise them accordingly so that they can profit from your experience. Some of you will attend higher schools of learning, others will go out into industry, and all of you in a short time will be expected to take your place in the world. Wherever you go or whatever you do, remember that we all wish for you a happy and prosperous life. CLYDE li. CSERBERICH, P7'rlVff?lt'Ill Qf Ilia liozmz' of lJi1'frlor.r Tc: ri

To ffze Clam ff 19416: I, Three boys once walked across a snow-covered meadow to see who could make the straightest track. On examination it was found that only one could be called straight. When asked how this happened, two of them replied, VVe walked as straight as we could, being careful to Watch our feet at all times. The third boy, whose track was straight, said, I fixed my eye on a tree on yonder hill and never looked away until I reached the other side of the meadowf' Some people go through life as did the two boys, looking at their feet and seeing no farther than present desires and their fulfillment. Others look far ahead and control their present actions in such a way that their future aims may be attained. Success in life is often missed by having no objective before us. As you finish high school and continue your education, either in your chosen work or in a higher school, may you have some aim in life, and keeping your eye Hxed on that goal, make the most of all opportunities as they come to you day by day. The old adage, Hitch your wagon to a star, is still good advice. W. l. BEAHM Twvlve
