Cut Leaders DR. C. M. MUSSER Superintendent of Sharon Schools Dr. C. M. Musser . . . directs Sharon's public school system . . . we were glad to see him back after his absence-his smile and direc- tion were missed. Don't ever take your way of life for granted. It is the American Way, and its perpetuation de- pends on you and on young men and Women like you in every high school in the country. During your years in school you have gained an understanding of what America means. It follows that your obligation is twofold: to pre- serve American ideals and to perpetuate dem- ocracy in America. How are you going to be an effective citizen discharging your responsibilities and duties honestly and conscientiously? You will do it in many ways-by keeping informed of public affairs through Wide and unbiased reading so that you can vote intelli- gentlyg by developing your talents and abilities to the utmost so that you can contribute to the progress of Americag by being loyal to American ideals so that your country will be strong. All this means having faith in yourself, in your country, and in God. Never forget that if our American Way is to be preserved and strengthened, you must accept the responsibilities citizenship entails. Neglect of them will surely result in loss of privileges. C. M. Musser Dr. Musser welcomes parents and friends at Open House. JEAN E. SEMPLE Secretary to Superintendent ALEINE M. BILLINGS Asst. Secretary to Superintendent

Qui' Leaders STANLEY N. CURRIER . . . Sharon High School principal . . . took over leadership in 1943 . . . his judgment and keen under- standing have gained our respect and confidence. There are many things that make a man great. Among the foremost is the determina- tion to work hard-once a man has done this, his future is secure. Work brings deep personal satisfaction, a sense of dignity, mental health, and joy in achievement. S. N. Currier ALBERT P. WILDMAN . . . our assistant principal . . . patiently arbitrates our problems and guides us in our school decisions . . . his help and guidance have made him a friend to all students. Democracy implies the right of the people to make their own choice and decisions. If young people have freedom to learn from competent teachers who are free to teach, they will learn how to think and not what to think. They will then be competent to make wise decisions that support our demo- cratic Way of life. Training our youth, in this Way, for effective citizenship will keep our American concept of freedom alive. A. P. Wildman GLORIA NOLAN Secretary FRANCES LURTZ Secretary MRS.
