CHS Students Are Introduced to
Rotary's Four- Way Test Friday
The story of Rotary Interna-
tional's "Four-Way Test" was
brought to Canadian high
school students last Friday
morning at a school assembly
when Erbin Crowell, secretary
of the local Rotary Club, pre-
sented eighteen framed
plaques of the "Four - Way
Test" to Supt. Woodie Beene.
The plaques, Beene said, will
be hung in classrooms and
hallways in the high school
building.
The "Four-Way Test," which
has been adopted by Rotary
International, was drafted by
former Rotary International
President Herbert J. Taylor as
a "golden rule" for his own
business and personal conduct.
Taylor's phenomenal success
in converting a mid-Depression
bankrupt business into a two-
million dollar concern by ap-
plying the "four-way test" to
all business dealings has won
wide recognition.
Herbert Taylor's Four-Way
Test is brief and to the point:
1. Is it the Truth?
2. Is it Fair to all concerned?
3. Will it build Good Will
and Better Friendships?
4. Wil it be Beneficial to all
concerned?
The Canadian High School
Student Council, meeting brief-
FOUR-WAY TEST — Canadian Rotarians presented eighteen
framed> plaques of the Four-Way test at a High School Assembly
Friday morning. Presenting the plaques for the Canadian Rotary
Club were Erbin Crowell (loft) and Tom Abraham. Supt. Woodie
Beene (center) accepts the plaques on behalf of the school.

Jy with Crowell after the as-
sembly, voted to adopt the
"Four-Way Test" as a major
project in the local school pro-
gram this year.

Crowell; Tom Abraham, who
assisted with the presenta-
tion; John Wilkinson, Warren
Harrington, Ben Ezzell and
Dave Raymond.
