Principal In conference with his faculty . . . Philip H. McDevitt . . . alone at his desk . . before the school. 16 with his family . . . Walnut Hills High School bas been ret apart . . . to concentrate its efforts to the end that it may offer a broad and tlaoronglv training, placing special enz- phaxir on intellectual developnient and .vcbola1'xlJip. This is the second time that these words have appeared in the REMEM- BRANCER. The Hrst was in 1920, when that year's edition of the Rmimrismxcrzk editorialized about the school's new status and special and stated purpose. This fact is a Erin tribute to the students and teachers who have preceded us hereg for, in our system of free public educa- tion, we cannot for long tolerate an idea which is unworthy or a practice which is ineffective. Through the years Walnut Hills students have demonstrated the worth of the idea and the effectiveness of the prectices which are combined here. In a very real sense every success- ful student in Walnut Hills helps to en- sure that a similar opportunity for suc- cess will be waiting for a student yet to come. To the graduating class of 1961 and to their seventeen hundred fellow students I offer this thought about the unusual learning experience which We share, and, in so-doing, invite you to share also in the gratitude l feel for being a part of it.
