Calvin E. Wilcox, B.S., Ed.M., Ph.D. TO THE CLASS OF 1941 Greetings: You are ending twelve years of formal training. This training has taken place under a system designed to prepare for Amer- ican democracy. Throughout these years, the basic principles of American democracy have functioned. You have learned much of the American way of life. May you ever cherish and guard this heritage. Can you think of any thing for which you would trade tolerance, freedom of speech, respect for the opinions of others, choice of your government, freedom to pro- mote reforms, freedom to choose manners of life, and the other factors in our American way of life which makes it so satisfy- ing? When foreign ideals impinge upon your way of life and hold out glittering inducements, you will do well to evaluate such ideals against the criteria of the American way of life. Calvin E. Wilcox, Superintendent.
