HIS MESSAGE --- TO THE CLASS OF 7°42; You have had the privilege of receiving your common school education and training in the free public schools of this great democracy of ours. It now becomes your privilege and duty, as you continue your education or take your place in the world, to do your utmost to preserve and promote those ideals and principles for which this democracy stands. It has been the endeavor of the school, with its various organizations and activities, to give you training and experience for the development of those high qualities of character and human relationships that will make you realize the most out of life for yourselves and will best equip you to do your part in maintaining and improving American democracy. In these times of world strife and unrest, you have a great responsi- bility and duty to perform as you take your respective places in this and other communities which form this great nation of ours. Much careful thinking and planning must be done now and during the period immediately following the present crisis, to maintain and promote the highest principles of human relationships and democracy. May each one of you give these problems your most careful considera- tion, be loyal to American ideals and principles, and do your part to make America a continually better land in which to live. F.
