SENIORS YOU ARE THE CHILDREN OF YESTERDAY PREPARING TO ENTER THE ADULT WORLD OF TOMORROW. YOU ARE ABOUT TO BREAK AWAY FROM AN AUTHORITATIVE WORLD OF MUST'S AND DO'S, IMPOSED BY PARENTS AND COUNSELORS, INTO A PERMISSIVE WORLD OF LIKE'S AND WILL'S. YOU WILL LEAVE THE PROTECTION OF YOUR FAMILIES AND ENTER WORLDS OF RE- SPONSIBILITIES OF YOUR OWN MAKING AND CHOOSING. IN YOU, ALL HOPE FOR THE FUTURE LIES. CONQUESTS HAVE BEEN MADE BEFORE, BUT NONE TO EQUAL THOSE YOU WILL MAKE. EMPIRES HAVE RISEN TO ASTOUNDING HEIGHTS, BUT HISTORY NOW RECORDS THEIR DECLINE. YOUR RESPONSIBILITY WILL LIE IN BUILDING A FOREVER EMPIRE - A UNIVERSAL DEMOCRACY. HISTORY IS WAITING FOR YOUR CONQUESTS, HUMANITY IS READY FOR YOUR CONTRI- BUTIONS - YOUR PAINTING, YOUR BOOKS, YOUR BUILDINGS, YOUR INVENTIONS, AND YOUR WONDERFUL DISCOVERIES. AS YEARS PASS YOUR NAMES WILL REPLACE THE NAMES OF OTHERS. WITHIN YOUR GRASP IS FAME, FOR YOU ARE TOMORROW'S LEADERS, STATESMEN, DOCTORS, EDUCATORS, AND SCIENTISTS. YOU WILL BE THE AUTHORITIES, THE MASTERS, THE CREATORS OF A GOLD- EN AGE. LIFE GOES NOT BACKWARD NOR TARRIES WITH YESTERDAY. YOUR NAME IS HOPE. YOU ARE TOMORROW! .LQTGES X1 22
