High School education has not only tauglit us ttie principles of leadership, but i t ha s also taught us t ' - strive for bet ter conditions in our own daily life, govern :..en t , and industry Before one can bec.r.ie a true leader, he i.ius t also be a good follower Y illingness to cooperate ano. do well one’s part, however suall, is often as inportant as leadership itself, because it is often left to tbe rank and file of the people to LiaJ.e wise decisions for the advaric er.ient of our nation. It is no assumption that one nan or a group of Lien is to lead in all things at all tii-.es Thus every deniocratic citizen’s life is ci. chain of nor.ents, in soiie of which he leads and in some of vjh ic h he foil ow s . Service to one’s friends and coinrunity is also an important factor in our democracy. The teaching of worthy use of leisure time has prepared us for service. Institutions such as the home, the church, and industry cannot function independently -yvithcut education. The political world is suffering for trained minds backed by character and a spirit of service that are incorruptible. In the new leisure that shorter v orking hours and a more equoJ distribution of labor are already bringing, training for participation in worthwhile activities is invaluable. Through the outstanding orogran offered at the Amelia High School we seniors, tlirough rental training and through character development, have been prepared so that we cr n assist inn.aking the World of tomorrow a happier and more comfortable pic-. ce in which to live and in which to make a living.
