23: 21kXlf21lf2G,2Ga2Q'eX?23P GQCMP 0 GOD, our Father, Thou searcher of men's hearts, help us to draw near to Thee in sincerity and truth. Strengthen and increase our admira- tion for honest dealing and clean thinking, and suffer not our hatred of hypocrisy and pretense ever to diminish. Encourage us in our endeavor to live above the common level of life. Make us to choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong, and never to be content with a half- truth when the Whole can be won. Endow us with courage that is born of loyalty to all that is noble and worthy, that scorns to compromise with vice and injustice, and knows no fear when truth and right are in jeopardy. 235

HE WHITE HOUSE symbolizes the unity of a people. It is a focal point in times of national emergency. It stands a rebuke to any political Babel divided by little partial local interests. It represents a government reflecting, as Franklin sug- gested, God's wisdom in the control of human affairs and demanding moderation in those who exercise authority and discipline in the governed. The school system of St. John's inculcates the primary requisites of a democracy-willingness to obey and ability to command. The Director and his associates do not merely exact disciplineg they teach the necessity of discipline by showing its im- portance in the actual conduct of school affairs. In this period of national crisis the value of such training is really apparent. The Class of 1941 wishes to make this inadequate acknowledgment of the generous efforts in its behalf on the part of the Faculty. '
