You, who are leaving school, have, no doubt, been told and retold that it is a tragedy for you to be entering wider fields at a time when our very foun- dations are shaken. Perhaps we have mis- placed tl1e emphasis! Was there ever a time when as many varieties and opportunities ol service offered themselves? May you make the most of them! Sincerely, ELMA R.

CHARLES f,'I'TliRM AN N Principal Of Hughes 'lo the Class 1942: Your senior year has indeed been an eventful one. lX'hen you began, vast areas of our old planet were aflame with war and were being devasted by the most destructive instruments ever conceived by 1nan's inventive mind. Here with your growing appreciation of democracy, you were hearing voices from afar that seemed to threaten ominously. and even to deride, our conception of the way ol' life. Then came that Sunday in early December when with death-dealing suddenness a challenge was hurled. You heard shortly thereafter in our auditorium the voice of our President answering for his country- From that moment, life at school, as everywhere, assumed a clearer emphasis on service, service in many undreamed of ways. As you pass through the doors ol' the old school may that indefinable something, which is called the Hughes spirit, in essence the democratic spirit, urge you on to your very highest endeavor.

n the front steps gather lreshman, junior, sophomore, and senior during lunch periods and be- lore school, in the crisp autumn and balmy spring. 'I'housands of pairs ol' feet walk up and down these stone steps several times a day, carrying boys and girls, young men and women, back and forth in the ways, both gay and serious, of lile at Hughes. They are citizens of no mean communityg they have responsibilities and privileges. In classts and out ol' the classroom they have the chance to widen their knowledge and increase their efficiency. They may lead a normal, happy lile with their fellows. N'Vhether a student is at ,Hughes four years, or less, he leaves richer than he came. He has the privilege ol high scholastic opportunitiesg the contact with the line, upstanding men and women who compose the facultyg in clubs and activities he may find and develop literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic interests and abilities. These steps have felt the tread of many feet destined to carry their owners to fame in their particular fields. But whether or not a student succeeds in getting world acclaim, il' he has accepted the opportunities of the Hughes Services Organizations, he is prepared to give use- ful service to a world that needs him.
