TO THE SPIRIT GF AMERICAN YOUTH We are a challenged youth. db- War has found us eager to fight and die to preserve our song of D -' Freedom, peace asks that we make it the anthem of all peoples. In our wartime years at Ken I-Ii we have learned to sing that song in all its fullness, its quality, its tone. We have lived it in our open class discussions, we have been aware of it during our almost forgotten air-raid drills, we have learned to evaluate it in the brutal terms of empty classroom seats and full hearts. We of this graduating class realize that it is our responsibility to introduce to the youth of every other country this great melody which is such an integral part of our life. It is our duty to bring to the lips of all peoples a song of liberty such as we in Ken I-Ii have known all our lives. That they will welcome it, we are sure, for to their thwarted, starved minds it means more than just freedom of speech and press, from hunger and want. To them it is a symbol of free thinking, of living as they desire, of freedom from oppression. For them it can be priced only as men's lives are valued. With this in mind we strengthen our de- termination to give to them the opportunity to join America as liberty-loving nations, and to help them realize their hopes. Our preparation for the task has been well begun, and we leave Ken I-Ii to enter a school m'ore demanding than any which we could have conceived a few years ago, to be- come a part of a great chorus of all peoples, in- spired by a harmony of tolerance, equality, and democracy.
