EDHORIAL . Once in a while a quesTion arises. and someone knowing The TacTs Tries To answer iT. Here is a brieT summary oT my answer To a very imporTanT and appropri- aTe quesTion. Why do we publish a school paper? ' l believe ThaT our school publicaTion acTs as a microphone. LeT The sTudenT speak in unmisTakable Tones abouT our civic aTTairs and responsibiliTies. and The school ioins in uniTy. Our school is diTTerenT in cerTain ways Trom oThers. Our school magazine Tells abouT iT. NilesTones is our log. showing our bearing and degrees and our course Tor The TuTure. ConsTrucTive criTicism is The giTT oT The ages, and NilesTones is The home oT This Type oT criTicism. lT also is The place where we express ourselves. This Thing remembrance is wonderful, and you who have sTill kepT NilesTones will have Tun in recollecTion. . V NilesTones Tells oT our Tears. our laughs, our greeTings and Tarewells. IT Tells oT our known. our honored, our TalenTed,' and in shorT oT you and me. l ' BERT WESTMAN. 9AI MR.CONROY This is a TribuTe. NoT The Type you hear abouT every da To people who have enriched our lives by liTeraTure. music or science. buT a hearTTlelT noTe oT graTiTude To a man who has begun To mold our TuTure. The vivid image oT his warm personaliTy, The undersTanding which he. has shown us will live wiTh us Tor many years To come. A robusT man enTered The audiTorium oT The shining new school building one sunny SepTember morning in l939. As he crossed The Threshold heads Turned and a hush Tell over The room, and as his worde echoed Through The audiTorium They ThoughT. Why he sounds nice! And he was nice. Perhaps iT was his greaT sense oT humor or The way he ambled inTo rooms during lessons ThaT made him respecTed and liked by even The Toughies . Conroy? They'd say. swell guy! ' IT mighT be ThaT he made ouT a lisT reading somewhaT like This ThaT TirsT day aT his new assignmenT. F I. Free GovernmenT-6.0. b The u ils. or The u ils. of The u ils. g 2. TraTiic Squad-All boys. Y p p p P P P 3. School lvlagazine-lpausel-NilesToneI! 4. CanTaTas aT GraduaTion-SomeThing To leave wiTh The graduaTes. Well, look around. See The TraTTic squad? Did you read The lasT ediTion oT NilesTone? Did you like The 6.0. dance? Much waTer has passed under The bridge since The birTh oT I I8. Mr. Conroy has gone ahead To a greaTer Tield. and Those who have passed beTore him will always consider him Their mosT unTorgeTTable characTer. Perhaps you can besT undersTand why we Teel Toward him as we do if l quoTe Trom a recenT leTTer To one oT The auThors oT This TribuTe: l Think perhaps ThaT The principal knows a li+Tle more abouT his boys and girls Than you give him crediT Tor. lT is noT only The auThor and The GD. PresidenT ThaT he recognizes, buT' The medal-winners and The moniTors, and Those who have landed all Too TrequenTly in The SecTion-Book. . l don'T know why iT is, buT someThing ha pens To The graduaTes on Their day oT graduaTion ThaT- makes Them seem lovelier Thian They ever were beTore. IT may be some secreT oT The be-auTy parlors. buT There is a shine in The eye and a sTraighTness oT back as They walk across The sTage in. Their quieT digniTy ThaT has always made iT a privilege. Tor This principal aT leasT. To be able To shake hands wiTh The graduaTes. NORMA RABINOWITZ, DIANA ATMAN, 9BR - 2 ..
