To the Student Body: These are challenging times. They call for national unity. We have achieved that unity in a greater degree than ever before in our history. The thing that has brought us together, the thing that ties all Ameri- cans, regardless of race, creed or color is our love for liberty and our desire to preserve the constitutional representative form of democracy which guarantees freedom and equality of opportunity for every citizen of this country. More important to us as a nation than building bombers and destroyers is the VICE-PRINCIPAL BROADLICK strengthening of the spiritual and intellec- tual life of this nation. The dictators' conquests have been made easier because they have destroyed the spiritual and in- tellectual life of the conquered nations before moving in with their armed hordes. Americanism is not on trial, but it is passing through a crisis and appears des- tined to pass through even greater crises in the days ahead. Every true American will do well to consider what American democracy has to offer in contrast to European dictatorships. It is our responsibility to keep de- mocracy alive in our hearts and minds. It is our responsibility to see that we and our associates are tolerant, free in spirit and humane, and that their love of de- mocracy is burning with an inextinguish- able flame. If we can do this, we can be assured that our future victory will bring something more than survival and secu- rity. Then we can hope that such a victory will earn the deep gratitude of posterity, and will be recorded in history as a forward step in the progress of mankind. Yours truly, JOHN N. BROADLICK , l'i:,,,b W Q43 f11f
