COMIVEANDER CREIGHTON To the Anaconda High School Class of 1943, Greetings: The mobilization of our nation for War has brought out as nothing else could the need for and value of that intangible thing we call education. Education can no longer be looked upon as a luxury or as a mere veneer of pleasant if useless knowledge. It is now seen to be a basic, a fundamental necessity, for the Whole organiza- tion of our armed forces, their morale and their abil- ities, all depend on the reservoir of mental discipline and training We have secured through the home and through the greatest of American industries-educaf tion. Remember that -all our factories, fields, mines, guns, ships and planes can never win a war. It is only our trained and disciplined men and Women using these tools to whom We can look for victory. The nation hopes that you graduates of 1943 have acquired these quali- ties. It h-as faith in you young men and Women. It knows that only through you can come that more en- lightened World for Which it is now fighting. As we say in the Navy, Carry on! COMMANDER BERT CREIGHTON.
