YOUR salutatorian and valedictorian have chosen to speak upon two most pertinent questions. What does democratic Amer- ican society owe the youth ot today? What does the youth at today owe American society? No stable society is possible in which only the tirst question is asked and answered, and not the second. lt you have profited from your tour years ot high school, you should be able to answer the tirst question unseltishly, and the second honestly, in actions as well as in words. The democratic way of lite is being challengedg its enemies belittle it as spiritually flabby and economically sentimental. lt is my hope that each ot you will be a vital denial ot these allegationsg that each ot you will by your lite acknowledge that democracy is a reciprocal process, and that every right demanded is an obligation assumed.
