To the Members of the Graduating Class of 1944: Not For Ourselves, But For ALL. This is your class motto. The prin- ciple enunciated in these six words could well be the basic cornerstone for any program of permanent world peace. It is the principle of altruism against egoism. It is the principle of world cooperation versus extreme nationalism. More simply stated it is the creed of unselfishness against the creed of selfish- ness. World War II unquestionably has its roots, if not its inception, in egoism, extreme nationalism, and selfishness. If the coming generations of the nations of the world live up to the spirit of your class motto, world horizons will indeed be brighter and the future more hopeful. To each of you the best of luck and good fortune. May each of you live your life in true conformity to the ideal expressed in your self-chosen class motto. Vernon W. Evans, Superintendent of Schools.

To the Class of 1944: During the last several years few of our graduates have gone on to higher schools of learning. Many of our graduates, although prepared for college, have been lured away by the high wages being paid in industry. In other words, these young people have given very little thought to what the future may have in store for them. Together with this we have heard considerable com- ment of late that Saugus High School does not prepare for college. Contrary to the belief of some of our critics, our school has an A rating and can certify pupils for college. It is gratifying to note that there is an increase in the num- ber of your class making definite plans to further your education next fall. This is a healthy sign. I am making an appeal to all of you who can to con- tinue your education. Those of you who will be called into service should take advantage of the training program offered by the United States Armed Forces Institute. Plans are being formulated, too, whereby veterans may get further training after they have been mustered out of service. My advice to all of you is to look to the future and prepare yourselves for the post-war period. John A. W. Pearce, Principal. [51
