Z A MESSAGE FHIJM HUB PHINIIIPAI. TO THE FACULTY AND STUDENTS OF GLNEY HIGH: The most valuable asset in a school is its spirit, the attitude of students and teachers, the way they feel about their life and work together. In a school, as in a home, if the human organization is in balance, everyone cofoperates to create an environment in which a spirit of friendly unf derstanding fosters enthusiastic effort. If it is out of balance, the institution cannot run well, pent up grievances will exf plode, and mutual goodwill and confidence cannot thrive. It is my earnest wish that in such an atmosphere we may find happy days togetherg that together we may move forward into new channels of service, that here, in full measure, life may be richly 'experienced and successfully lived.

PAHEWELL Tll THEE l MR. RAYMOND FREED We shall certainly miss the smiling face and courteous, kindly disposition of Mr. Raymond Freed when he leaves us to retire from teaching in the Philadelphia Public Schools. Always ready to oblige a fellow teacher or a pupil regardless of his own conf venience, always ready to take on an additional task with enthusiasm and energy, he endeared himself to faculty and students alike. An excellent and sympathetic teacher, a hard, but unobtrusive worker, and a scholar of high attainments, he is respected by all. According to his State Teachers' Certihcate, Mr. Freed is qualified to teach a wide range of subjects, from spelling and arithmetic to Greek and AnglofSaxon and calculus, and no one doubts his ability to do it. His experience is widefspread. For over twelve years he was a high school principal in Pennsylvania and New York, but he missed the more personal touch with the students in the classroom, so he gave up his executive position to become a classroom teacher. He was at Northeast High for several years, then came to Olney when this school opened, and has been invaluable here as teacher and counselor. So great was Olney's need of him that his retirement, which was to have taken place in the middle of the term, was postponed by the superintendent. We shall miss Mr. Freed very much, and we wish him a long, active and useful period of retirement, attended by the very best wishes of his friends at Olney. f ' l X Q J sl f-1
