PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS JUNE Classmates and Friends of Ramsay High School: Harry Elmer Bumes in an address delivered at a meeting of the l a-partmerit of Superintendence of the National Education Ass'n said: We are living in one of the four major transitional periods of the entire history of man on this planet. Only the so-called dawn of history, the break-up of ancient society with the decline of the Roman Empire, and the rise of the modern age after Columbus can compare with our period in the sweeping and thorough transformations to which we are being subjected or to those which stand immediately ahead of us. Truly we are living in a momentous period of the history of the world. Modem invention has been going on with lightning-like rapidity. Technology of production, transportation, and communication has advanced beyond anything previously conceived. We are faced with the possibility of economic abundance and the foundations of peace and justice in the world. Our social thinking, however, has failed to keep pace with our national advancement. In the economic field, we have not provided for a fair distribution of the social income, neither have we successfully checked the manipulations of high finance. In many countries, this has so undermined the capitalistic system that it has called for the intervention of force and fascism. If we in America would escape the dangers which threaten civilization, we must depend upon the education of our youth. This education must deal courageously with the realities of problems of t xlav instead of serving temporarily a decadent system which no longer serves our needs. The real danger in America lies in the reactionary spirit of some of our people who are opposed to reasonable concessions to social right and decency. In short, it is only by an intelligent application of a spirit of unselfishness and cooperation, that’we may escape the dangers of fascism and communism and preserve for us and our posterity the blessings of democracy. Classmates, as we go forth into this chaotic world, may we determine to give our l est in thought and deed toward the adequate solution of the manifold problems which now beset us. Let us not feel that graduation is the completion of our education. Verily it is but the beginning. To those of us who have enjoyed the benefits of a high school training, there comes a re-Sponsibility for intelligent leadership. Let us ever keep before us the ideal of unselfish service. Let us realize that each one of us has an important part to play in this rapidly changing civilization. May we continue to read and to study. Some will continue their education in college or university. To them comes even greater opportunity for leadership and for service. Others will enter directly the world of industry and of business. This likewise affords opportunities for further advancement and enlarged vision. Whatever may be our future careers, let us accept the challenge to intelligent leadership and faithfully and conscientiously strive to make the world a better place in which to live. Truman Morrison, June 37.
