LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: The school we are graduating from this year Is considered one of the most modern In the state. Because of this, It receives notice and admiration beyond that of average high school buildings. This high standard makes It quite evident that any carelessness which, In any way, mars the appearance of the school, will be criticized immediately. If the students cooperate and refrain from doing those things which they don't think of allowing to occur In their homes, such as, writing on the walls or marking furniture, the building will remain the pride of those In the entire community. Zelma Garris Dear Editor: Although The Penn Point was a well-chosen name for the publication In previous years, I think The Senlorette Is a much more appropriate name for this year's annual. In addition to the touch of originality, the title emphasizes the name of the class and the fact that this year the girls have the boys out-numbered three to one. Being In the form of a review magazine, the publication permits a greater range of material to be Included. Ronald Ruoff Dear Editor: Although, during the last year or so, there have been many opportunities to leave school to accept a Job, I am thankful that I continued my studies and received a high school diploma. I hope the under-classmen do the same, no matter how great other temptations may be. At the present time, those seeking employment find that high school graduates are preferred. However, the greatest competition will come after the war. Then the educated and skilled will be most likely to succeed. I ■ sure the four years of high school will be a greater help later than the under-classmen now realize. Anna Mae Valero Dear Editor: Upon Investigations of entrance requirements for aviation cadets, I learned physics and mathematics are two subjects to be well mastered for success In this branch of work. Because aviation Is a promising career for the future, I hope those Interested In It take all the opportunities offered them In high school to get a solid foundation for the occupation. Edward Lanl Dear Editor: I wonder whether the Juniors, Sophomores, Freshmen, and other realize the value of belonging to clubs In the school. Many hidden talents are revealed through these extracurricular activities. For example, speaking and acting may be developed In the Dramatics Club; a better understanding and appreciation of music can be derived from the orchestra, chorus, and band. Then, there are th athletic clubs In which sports are learned and enjoyed; the Journalism Club which Issues the school paper; and other organizations which provide opportunities In different areas of Interest. I'm sure every student would profit much by belonging to one of these clubs. Vivian Myers Dear Editor: Because of the Increased cost and demands for certain materials, and the decreased enrollment, especially In the senior class, I think the decision to publish a review magazine was both a wise and a patriotic one. Every member of the class had an opportunity to make some contribution to the publication; I'm sure all of us are proud of It. Valeria Kuczlewlcz Dear Editor: We are doing twelve weeks of work In nine weeks here at camp, so It keeps us quite busy. In my estimation, navy life Is tops-. We enjoy many recreational facilities. At the Ship's Service, we can buy almost anything imaginable. Don't be down-hearted because of food rationing. The food 18 not wasted. Accept a sailor's word for It. The men In the Service get It and appreciate It. Practically every state In the Union Is represented here at Sampson, N. Y., and we are 81111 arguing which one Is the best. A member of the Class of Robert Bevan Dear Editor: Upon arriving at the marine base here in Parris Island, we were examined and given different aptitude tests. The tests reviewed various things In physics, mathematics, English, and other subjects. Afterward, we were Interviewed and given our choice as to the field of training we preferred. I selected aviation and communication. These cover a wide field. Including mechanics. John Supanclk Dear Editor: I wish to take this opportunity to write a few words to the students of PTHS. As a senior who Is leaving for the Service before Commencement, I will not be able to be present in cap and gown to say goodbye In the customary way. However, I really enjoyed attending this school. Whether I was pursuing my studies, participating in club activities, or attending assembly programs, I learned many worthwhile things and formed Interesting friendships. My school days here will always be remembered as a profitable and enjoyable Interval In my education. I'll be waiting to get all the school news, my copy of the Blue and White Mirror , and the Senlorette . I'll- be thinking of Penn Township High on Commencement night. Be careful when you walk across the stage. Alfred Shaw 5
