-HIS IS good old Sault High, the place where most of us seniors have spent four carefree years. Here, we have participated in drama, music, and sports, and some of us have enjoyed doing our work, our studies. On many of us this picture of the school may not at first make any impression, but as long as there are schools, there will be some students who are mentally alert and who will take profound concern in education, which is and will ever be one of the most important instruments in the preservation of the welfare of this nation. As long as we have schools where we are allowed to choose our subjects and voice our opinions, which are, in a way, an insurance of our independ- ence and privacy, we will be able to maintain a high standard of American citizenry. Stepping forth as anxious citizens of the world, we seniors should realize that the success of a permanent peace lies with us. The decisions of the San Francisco peace conference will have an effect on our lives although that effect may now seem remote. Not only the question of how to maintain peace is being considered there, but the question of whether the citizens of America can successfully participate in a world-Wide peace organization. XY'ill we Americans be able to meet such a test? This is a topic of vital importance to us as youth of the nation. Now emerging as citizens of tomorrow, we can help direct America's course. NVe must insure her position as a permanent member of an international peace organization, and we must stand united with our Pan-American neighbors to protect our rights. It is time that we utilized our education by becoming active and worthy citizens of this democracy. This essay was not intended to be a sermon, nor was it intended to be lightly dis- missed. Let us be realistic and back our thought by unselfish deeds. Then ten, fifteen, or twenty years hence we shall be able to answer this question: Have the heroes of World War II also died in vain? Yes, this is old Sault High where, if we have learned anything, we have found out how to cooperate with and respect our fellow man, where the foundations of future American citizens have been laid, and, we pray, laid firmly.
