map ali 7 he culmination of your public school training has witnessed unusual events from kindergarten to graduation. The venture upon your educational program, significant as it may have been at the time, was overshadowed by the worst depression in the history of this country. This economic maladjustment, though in no way your responsibility, was indirectly shared to some extent by you through the additional sacrifices made by your parents. Emerging as graduates, you are more deeply aware of the conflict which engulfs practically every nation in the world. The educational pursuits of some members of your class have already been interrupted by their response to the call of duty in the service of our country. Additional members of your class will accept the challenge to duty in the not too distant future. The sacrifices which you are about to make are totally unlike and in no way commensurate with those made as you embarked on your educational careers. The results of these conditions and future events have to some degree helped to shape your future; stimulated a keen interest in local, national, and world-wide social and economic conditions; and aroused a more conscious realization of the part you must play in the future. The two unparalleled events are a challenge to your integrity, a respon- sibility which you must share to prevent any similar chaotic condition and to build a world of tolerance, peace and happiness. You must, above all, learn to maintain a strong and intelligent loyalty to the principles for which this nation is fighting. George Higginbottom, Principal [ 7 ]
