Mr. Superintendent, Mr. Chairman, Members of the Board of Education, Members of the Berlin High Faculty, Parents, Friends, and Classmates-. Every true American now is confronted with a great problem in his daily life. During this period of war we must all have courage and learn to face life as it comes. If an individual strives to t he best of his ability, to honestly carry on the duties of a true and loyal citizen, a democracy like ours will never fail. General Douglas MacArthur, a loyal and courageous character, has led our American forces against a numerically superior enemy with unquestioned devotion to a cause which has inspired every true American. General MacArthur sets an example for young people as well as old, and his success, in which we all trust, will help change this crisis that confronts us. The word sacrifice is never unfamiliar to anyone, especially during this time of warfare. The sacrifices which we are called upon to make are little enough in comparison to those of the men, young and old, who voluntarily give their service and life to preserve our freedom and rights. It is the young people of today who should do more than their share in this role in order to protect the younger growing generation. Graduating from high school at this particular time, all my classmates must know and deeply feel the seriousness of such a problem. It will be their duty as true Americans to take part in this great crisis of American History, and the reconstruction that will follow. Since you are young and ambitious, you must make more sacrifices in order that the ideals of the American people can be protected. We, the class of ’42 pledge ourselves willingly and wholeheartedly to strive for the complete victory that will make our democracy safe once more. Helena Ines Carsanico
