as ,fix The Class ol January 1939 graduates at a time when the world is greatly troubled. Conllicting lorms of political philosophy have already aroused great distrust and hatred in Europe and in the Orient. An undeclared war is being waged in China and jittery Europe fears momentarily to be awakened from a lretful sleep by the booming ol guns. XVe in the United States are trying to emerge from a serious and prolonged depression. The problems which we must solve have many political implications. XVe believe as a nation in the democratic lorm of government. This beliel implies intelligent participation on the part ol our citizensg it calls lor the assumption of a delinite and constant responsibility. The boys and girls who are graduating lroin Central will soon become voting citizens who, il' they assume this responsibilty as I believe they will, are going to become sell-sustaining members of society and are going to help to perpetuate those institutions which guarantee lile, liberty and the pursuit of happiness to themselves and the generation to follow. There is a challenge and an opportunity awaiting these boys and girls: a challenge and an opportunity distinctly American. Our nation, now in her adolescence, offers as much to thrill her young people as did the young America to her pioneers. Of course, it is not just the same. No, but the elements ol adventure and oppor- tunity still exist. The graduates of Central for some years to come can rest assured of this fact. I believe that they will take advantage ol these opportunities as individuals and as citizens according to the best traditions of our educational institutions, So near is grandeur to the dust, So near is God to man, Vlhen Duty whispers low, 'ATliou must! The youth replies, I can! HORACE H. HENDRICK it 3 i
