wfww MR. R. C. FERGUSON Our Principal, Friend, cmd Counselor I I , I was asked recently this question: Are our students different today from what they were three decades ago? My answer was, No, they just have more accessi- ble working tools today than they had then. It was a rare occasion in the twenties to see boys and girls drive cars, let alone own them. A boy with a shiny bicycle was the envy of most students at that time. Motor scooters were non-existent. Radio was in its infancy with earphones and megaphone type speakers as the only means of listening to audible programs. Television was hardly a dream. Five-cent motion picture shows Csilentl were prevalent with the talkie making its appearance in the early thirties. Comic books were yet in the funny paper style, but look at them now. Other picture magazines such as Life, Look, and See have been born and grown to mammoth maturity. What is our problem in the midst of all this growth? How shall we conduct ourselves in this era? What practice should we pursue to maintain our equilibrium in the light of these facts? I believe the answer lies in two short words which, if studied carefully and practiced diligently, will be a sat ' Nords are Self Discipline. e guide to follow. The R. C. FERGUSON Principal
