. I FUQQWORD . .. Yet much remains to conquer still 5 peace hath her victories no less renown'd than war- The war years are overg yet remains a world divided by conflict in ideologies. We must prepare ourselves for our place in this idea torn world. Of the greatest importance to all of us is our heritage as American citizens, the right to vote. In order to vote intelligently, we must be well-educated in all fields. Those of us attending the higher institutions of learning will ensure our heritage by added understanding of cultures and governments, and those who are entering the field of business' immediately will enrich their education by meeting other people and by observing closely the happenings of state and nation. In this, the second year after victory, we can envision our future. We who are planning to attend unive1'si- ties and colleges need not interrupt our scholastic careers with service in our armed forces, and those entering business will with renewed security build foundations for the future. Let us now prepare ourselves by increasing our knowledge of the American way so that as we become the leaders of tomorrow, our background in the American tradition will be indelibly engraved on our minds. As we are planning for the future, so should we lay away remembrances of youth. Witll this fact in mind, we of the 194-7 ACORN have tried to compile an annual that will in later years bring back the joy and pleasure that is our youth. BRADLEY WYATT, JR. 5 5!4El'
