A California readerâ€"how this PRESS does get around!â€"suggests we continue to cover Highland Park in this column. It‘s a pleasure, Ma‘am! There‘s no finer town anywhere, so far as we‘re concerned. And we‘re delighted that you, away out there in California, "are hungry for news" about our growâ€" ing village . ... e One of the unwritten rules governing this column is to write about local personalities who are making Highland Park the fine town it is.. $ A. Gordon Humphrey again wins this column‘s praise for the splendid job he‘s doing at his Presbyâ€" terian Sunday school classes for teenâ€"agers. THE POSITIVE APPROACH ... Although the PRESS wasn‘t able to sit in on the popular (there were over 100 in attendance) "Homeâ€"Coming _ Sunday" _ cereâ€" monies held last week, we well reâ€" member the one we witnessed last year. # Unique in every way, the school is conducted in a most positive manner ‘with students giving wellâ€" prepared speeches that tell of their life at home and at college. _ We understand this year‘s was even better. The young folks are treated as grownâ€"ups. ‘ > They‘re encouraged to speak, to ask questions, to learn. RELIGION BLENDED IN ... With all this modern approach to teaching, the most important part of church school education is not overlooked. Typical of the interesting types of speeches given by students were one on college orientation week by Barbara Floyd; "Rushing and Fraternity Life" by Donald Mcâ€" Cormick; "Living Away From Home" by Mary Ferguson; "Studâ€" ies, Classes and Grades" by Nancy Johnson ; an extempocrancous speech by West Pointer Bill Wilâ€" bur; and a bit on college extraâ€" curricular activities by Dean Olâ€" PREPARING TODAY‘S YOUTH. And he‘s doing a commendable job of it. Credit then is again beamed at Mr. â€"Humphrey and to his pastor, Dr. William A. Young, for makâ€" ing Highland Park an even finer town! Rather, it is effectively ‘yet unâ€" obtrusively blended into â€" student minds by Mr. Humphrey, a deeply religious man, who knows The Golden Rule works every time if you want it to. The class is headed by Robert Bushey. Chester Kyle is the enâ€" thusiastic song leader. Jane Barâ€" ton plays the piano. Russell Ghirk last ~Sunday read the scripture and Mary Compere a poem. SPEECHES GIVEN ... Preparing youths of Highland Park today for the challenging future is a job A. Gordon Humâ€" phrey is doing each Sunday. SHORT, TRUE STORY .
