We hope that you have learned a great deal about your world and your democracy. In this atomic age in which you will have to live, you will need all the skills and knowledge which you have acquired. It is our fervent hope that you will make use of them to promote peace and happiness to all the world. Never forget that our government is a government for the people, of the people and by the people. If you make this country a better place in which to live, you must be willing and ready to do your part in community, state, national and world affairs. You should, as individuals and as organized groups, do everything in your power to make the United Na- tions successful in its endeavor to preserve world peace. Failure may mean the destruction of our civiliza- tion even in your time. P. F. Shafer Sup't. of Public Schools As our school year begins each fall, it is always a fine experience to welcome into our midst a new fresh- man group. It is interesting to watch each class as it progresses through school. We of the faculty enjoy our functions as guides and mentors while we see each student approach his senior year. It is with regret that we realize that with graduation you, with whom we have had the pleasure of working, will never be with us as high school students again. Our hope is that in your progress through school, you will have re- ceived something that will enable you better to cope with the problems of life. We want you to feel that this is your school and that although, offi- cially you are leaving us, actually you are always welcome to return and visit us. We are your friends and shall al- ways stand ready and willing to be of assistance to you should the need arise. A. C. Drummond Principal of Macomb High School
