To live according to the principle of love is to choose always those courses of action which will help the most people the longest time. Truth is the principle by which we test whether these actions will really l e as helpful as we intend. To follow the principle of truth is to continually clarify and broaden our understanding and creatively adjust our actions to it. Seekers after truth remain young and grow in spirit all their lives. Beauty applied to love and truth will join people together in worship and song. Followers of beauty fill their lives with it, continually sharpen their sensitivity to it, and try to help others to see it as they point it out and reflect it. These three principles are in line with the great creative force of the universe. Guidance and strength to follow them is to be had from this source, and from it, too, will come to the follower satisfaction and happiness, deep and lasting. 6 The 1952 Sequin Principal's Message War in Korea, guerrilla activity in Egypt, reports of corruption among officials high in our National Government, day by day living in an inflationary period, critical shortages of labor, high taxes, seeming wastefulness among governmental agencies, the specter of the draft and possible universal military training ahead for all males are just a few of the problems confronting the graduates of the Class of 1952. In an atomic age when change occurs almost as quickly as hourly radio broadcasts. bewilderment and uncertainty all tend to exert their influence on the individual trying to chart some plan of life in the years to come. One ray of hope that exerts a singular influence is the eternal optimism of youth. It has been most gratifying to note that throughout the school year members of the class have spent time and effort in considering definite plans and procedures for continued growth and advancement in the trying period ahead. It is my sincerest wish that your cherished hopes will meet fulfilment and that you will continue to grow, mature, and develop into purposeful individuals and become worthy representatives of a democratic citizenship.

CHEERLEADERS The cheerleading squad this year was exceptionally active. Besides the regular routine of two strenuous practices and two games a week, they helped to organize two Junior High cheerleading squads and to establish a substitute plan for their own group. According to this policy, the regular squad consists of eight girls plus a substitute. It is the duty of the substitute to fill in for any regular cheerleader in case of absence. This plan will be carried on from year to year in order to have a complete group at all games. By attending the Annual Cheerleading Clinic and by finding new and better cheers, the Newington cheerleaders have gained a reputation for representing their school in the best way possible.

S. is to provide audio-visual aids for the advancement of learning. It has as its aim the development and modernization of classroom techniques. It is felt by most educators that the greater number of senses which are brought into play, the greater will be the degree of learning. At Newington High this aim is accomplished through the use of sixteen millimeter sound projectors, thirty-five millimeter slide projectors, record players, and a tape recorder. Thus the teachers are able to utilize the many sound films which are available for making their subjects more interesting and clear. The same is true of film strips, slides, and records. The A. V. E. S. serves organizations of the town who have need of experienced operators and equipment. In the school, it makes possible, through its facilities, music for dancing and announcements through the public address system. The club is also responsible for many of the assembly programs scheduled for both the Junior and Senior High Schools. The philosophy of the organization is one of service: to the faculty, to provide better educational background ; to the students, to provide entertainment; to the town to promote public relations.

Korea War Described By Marine Ex-Student Newington Norman Ratcliffe. a former Newington High School student, spoke informally at the senior high school assembly on Tuesday, telling of the Korean situation as lie saw and lived It as a United States Marine. Tire main reason the United Nations troops are In Korea la to stop Communist aggressors from overrunning South Korea, he said. After landing at Inchon with the 1st Marine Corps Division, composed of about 12,000 men. he moved north with hts comrades to the Choson Reservoir. There the division was trapped by the North Koreans, but managed to outflank the enemy and make its escape. The retreat was slow, the men being forced to make many of their own roads, and moving around road blocks set by the enemy. During this retreat there were numerous casualties, but by the use of helicopters and trucks, all of the Injured men were removed to medical bases. Ratcllffe continued. The North Koreans had manpower, but little else, lie felt that the UN troops were well equipped, but mentioned the fact that the boys found it disturbing to note that most of the ammunition and missels being used against them were Russian in origin or were stomped made in U. S.” He seemed dismayed by the fact that although there have been 91.000 casualties in the present conflict It has been termed merely a police action.” The number of amputees in the Korean war has been greater than In any other war. he said, urging the need for keeping up blood donations.
