HAUPTMAN EMPHASIZES SUPERIORITY "Quality means superiority," was the point Dr. Leo Hauptman emphasized in the Key Club auditorium yesterday. Dr. Hauptman had many good ideas to lead the younger generation to success. To reach this goal, he emphasized, one must (1) "Have a person worth financing," (2) "Have a purpose worth financing," and (3) "Have a preparation worth financing." Tools Include Attitude, Ability He felt that good attitudes, the ability to "want to," and a sound education were tools that would bring the best of whatever a person really wanted. He also stated that many youths have untapped resources. They have the ability to do something but don't put their talents to good use. Younger Pupils Can Experiment One of the most important ideas he expressed to the student body was that the younger one is in high school, the more chance he has to experiment with his future. If he starts now, he will gain more experience from school and be better prepared for "tomorrow." Dr. Hauptman ended by saying he wanted to challenge and inspire the students of Shortridge and for each Shortrldger to be the best of whatever he Is. James Placke, C. E. Quandt, Ann Randall, Robert Rice, Sharon Roberts, Sandra Rochman, Stephen Ross, Thomas Schuetz, William Shullenberger, Carolyn Jane Smith, and Robert Solomon will be initiated also, as will Robert Stall, Robert Stokes, Thomas Strong, Olivia Swan, Karen Tally, Cathy Townsend, and Martha Usher. Concluding the list are Carolyn Wenholz, Margaret Wheeler, Frederick Wiecking, Carole Ann Williams, Sarah Worley, and Alice Zaft. Earleen Brown and Kathleen Brown who were initiated into the National Honor Society Chapter of Central High School, Louisville, Kentucky, are transfer members to the Shortridge chapter. Rabbi M. Davis Stresses Worship In Daily Life Key Club members from Shortridge were hosts to visiting Key Clubbers from the Indianapolis School for the Blind at their meeting last Monday evening. The members of both organizations heard a talk on the basis of religious belief by Rabbi Maurice Davis, rabbi of the Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation. In Rabbi Davis' speech, different meanings of religion and concept of God were brought out and it was emphasized that the different religions are all based on the belief that the presence of a Supreme Being and the worship of this being can be used as a basis for a moral life. Rabbi Davis gave a broad picture of the origins of religious faith and he brought out the fact that religious beliefs must be relevant to the time and social structure it serves, or else it loses Its meaning to the people. Religion was pictured not so much as an inflexible set of rules or dogma by which to live, but rather a broad-based foundation upon which the moral and spiritual values which guide everyday lives can be based. Rabbi Davis explained that worship is more the product of daily lives than actions in church and prayer, and that to be really religious, one must profess worship in his everyday life as opposed to showing his religion in church only. In other Key Club business, it was announced that the next meeting, to be held this Thursday morning, would be devoted principally to planning for the district convention to be held this April 10 and 11. Reports on the treasury and scrapbook were made to the club members.
