Principal's Message Life lies before us. Have we been developing a rhythmic personality that at- tunes itself to the pulsating life about us? Can we develop the tempo that makes us fit into the progress of human society? We must develop the traits of character and person- ality that keep us in tune with the harmonizing influences which make society a blessing to all. A sympathetic understanding, tolerance, an altruistic atti- tude, the courage to stand for a worthy cause-even if we stand alone-faith in other people and love for that which is good will put one into the swing of human progress that moves onward and upward toward better things. Let us endeavor to prepare ourselves to lit into a vibrating, joy- ful and beautiful world which was destined from the beginning. Life becomes more interesting when we understand the rules that make happiness and success. Life becomes more beautiful under the influence of clear thinking and noble acting. D 1

OUR teachers make of the varied voices in school a unif1ed chorus. From the classics of the past they draw notes which may sound in the harmonies of the future. They encourage each of us in our individual original phrasing of the swing symphony of our lives by our own improvisation. Without these maestroes to keep us swinging together we would not have this perfectly pitched and progressive orchestra.
