EDITORIAL

WORD FOL CLASS NIGHT ROGRAMS 81
TO MANY A MEMBER of this years graduating class of
the Christiansted High School the fact that Class Night has
been dropped serves as a great disappointment. The reasons
given, while justfiable enough may be overcome. 1t is given
that parents complain as to the matter Of expenses, and fur
Their that it is unnecessary. But while all this may be true it
cannot be denied that there was a certain value to the pre-
commencement exercises which was both stimulating and en-
joyable.
H ADMINISTRATION of the internal affairs of the
High School is entirely under the direction of principal Mar
koe, as it should be, and up to this time there have been no
valid complaints as to the effectiveness of the administration.
Further, we have been among the Staunchest supporters Of
Principal Markoe and his staff, and the work being done at'the
High School. regardless of what others may say to the con-
trary. We firmly believe in education as one of the greatest
forces in community life and realize that the High School holds
a most unique spot. 1t is for this reason that very frequently
there may be seen in the columns of this paper words of en-
couragement and commentator for the fine work being done
by Principal Markoe and his staff.
TITS IN H SPIRIT of the fullest cooperation and un-
derStanding that we express regret at seeing the end of Glass
Night. In thousands of high schools and colleges throughout
the mainland Class Day is held. During these programs the
students themselves preside, exchange gifts, turn over the
management of the outgoing class to the incoming senior class,
and say farewell to the school, the faculty, and their fellow
students. Many an outgoing class leaves a gift of some sort to
the school. In some sections where there is a campus, a tree is
planted, a plaque unveiled on a favorite building, or some
other expression~of appreciation made. But above all, the stu
dents use that program as an opportunity to express gratitude
to the taxpayers, the faculty, and most important of all their
parents. 1t would seem, then, that Glass Night IS not an entire
y empty, makeshift affair, but has its strong points.
IT IS ANOTHER MATTER if the exercises get out Of
hand, and the students, lacking proper guidance, or refusing
, 1949-06-10

to respond thereto, turn the
Glass Night into an unpleasant
affair. That, however, is no rea
son, we believe, to determine
that these exercises should be
completely dispensed with
Perhaps it may be that mem
bers of the faculty should be
left out completely SO far as
gifts and participation are con-
cerned. Students, young and
inexperienced, often express
their dislike for, or dissastiSfac-
ton with certain classes, and
the teachers who head these
classes. That is almost natural,
and certainly is universal.
Some students just do not like
certain courses, and with the
courses go the teachers, and it
usually follows that these are
the very courses in which the
students are weakest. Yet, as
the years go BY and maturity
deScends upon the graduates
they find that these courses &
the teachers are the very ones
from which they benefited
most. Teachers should there
fore not be discouraged if this
sort Of thing results.
1t might be suggested that
be given the response
for a clean, wholesome,
yet amusing and enjoyable
program, under faculty super
vision. The program should be
presented in the rough to a
committee appointed
by the Principal, suggestions
ideas given, then returned
to the student committee for
reworking. And final approval
should also be given to the
program. In this way
