HOFFMHN: Hfter religion and education, roads have been one of the great contributing factors to the welfare and happiness of people. The universe is a grand road, a symbol of the constructiveness, perseverance, and industry of our forbears. From the small narrow foot trail at the dawn of civilization, the accumulated knowledge of the human race has developed a super-highway leading into a future which may become better than any achievements thus far attained. In every person's life pilgrimage there is the hope of a dream highway that will lead to a life's ambition. Members of the class of 1941, as you travel along your dream highway there will be many turns and crossroads where your decisions will be the final test of what you have learned during your school career. The road may become rough, the load heavy, and there may be barri- cadesg but set your soul upon your goal and nothing shall turn you back. Hlong this journey, there will be inns and resting places which you will recog- nize as your leisure time. P1 true sense of values during these re-creation periods will to a great degree bring you the happiness that you desire. We as sponsors have enjoyed our experiences with you. In these doubtful days for our way of life , remember that democracy draws its vitality from each individual citizen, so give responsible direction to your life's journey.
