B. KURTZ KING lointure Superintendent To extend greetings and best wishes to the Class of 1957, to underclassmen, and to all others who will read this yearbook, is a real delight. The cooperation that has become manifest during these two years is praise- worthy. Our North Penn High School enjoys remark- able stability and stature during this, its sec- ond year of jointure operation. Students, staff members, parents, board members, and other constituents coordinated their loyalty, good- will, and sustained efforts. Their teamwork and diligence earned the respect and esteem of many observers. For this happy achieve- ment the Class of 1957 deserves its share of credit. Their good citizenship, sincerity, scho- lastic efforts, and their leadership have been significant in this progress. Mutual assistance between school and graduates continue far beyond commence- ment. Graduates need letters or recommen- dation and transcripts for various occasions during subsequent years. Guidance confer- ences can be very helpful from time to time. The school needs the goodwill and general helpfulness that its graduates can reflect. Post-school experiences have value in report- ing constructive criticism. For such continued inter-play this high school extends a real welcome. Loyal support and boosting of one's alma mater has mutual benefit. It adds strength to the school and value to the diploma. Many opinions and evaluations of a school are based on abilities and attitudes reflected by its students. Thus every son and daughter of North Penn High School is a prime exhibit for someone's esteem of that school. One characteristic of an educated person is that he wants to continue his learning. He enjoys the learning process: he appreciates the benefits of knowledge, and he requires pertinent data for drawing conclusions. Al- though the rate and means of this continued learning will vary, careful selection of ma- terial and a definite plan for its inclusion are important. The key to successful living is the real ap- plication one makes of his education. To earn an honest living is fundamental. To find abid- ing happiness is necessary for a wholesome life. Happiness is Albound to come regularly when a lite is devoted to godliness and real service to fellowmen. Helping others, through the golden rule, is, therefore, a strong exhor- tation. An abundant lifelis wished for all. A. KURTZ KING Iointure Superintendent

The responsibility for these and many other important jobs rests on the shoulders of our very efficient general office staff. Composed of Miss Elaine Craner and Mrs. Chris Richart, veterans of five and two years respectively and newcomers, Mrs. Georgia Kressly and Mrs. Anne Moyer, the office staff keeps the school running smoothly and always seems to find time to give a smile and a friendly word to everyone who passes through the office.
