TI-IE PILDT PREPARES PASSENGERS FUR THE FLIGHT Fellow Classmates: That great moment which has always appeared as a mirage on the skyline of our future has now suddenly revealed itself to us in reality. We have witnessed the exodus of many preceding classes from Oakwood, but only now can we fully realize the true meaning of commencement. We formerly thought of this event as a jubilant celebration glorifying our past accomplishments, but now we see that it is more appropriately named. Indeed, it is the beginning-the beginning of the most momentous period of our lives, for the way in which we go forth to perform our tasks and duties and make our decisions will form the foundations upon which our careers must he built. We alone can determine the material for these foundations-whether it be sand or rock. Up to the present, however, we have had rather smooth sailing, Cakwood has given us the finest advantages and opportunities for moral, mental, and physical def velopment obtainable. I sincerely hope that such valuable blessings will always continue with us, and that we shall always be privileged to live in a country whose principles are equality and justice for all. This indeed is our greatest blessing. May we faithfully fulfill our responsibility to country and posterity by keeping this fire of liberty and democracy burning forever in the hearts of every American! As we go forth to accept this responsibility, as well as many others, my most fervent hope is expressed by those tender words of little Tiny Tim: God bless us every one! EDWARD WEBER, President of the Class of 1939. lve L16 H
