PAUL K. SWEENEY Assistant Principal To the Members of the Class of 1972: The Winter of Discontent in our recent history has been marked by one of the worst periods of civil disorder, turmoil, and drug addic¬ tion in the development of our country. It has not provided a pleas¬ ant outlook for the high school graduate of June, 1972. What we are likely to forget is that this class about to continue with higher education or in the field of uncertain employment has, dur¬ ing their brief memory, been exposed — as James Reston pointedly shows — to continuing confusion, doubt, change, and violence dur¬ ing the years of their formal education. Most of the class were born nine years after World War II. They were only five when John F. Kennedy ran for President, eight when he was assassinated, ten when the air and ground war started in Vietnam. Yet it is to the current class that we must look for our Spring of Hope — the restoration of the ideals of truth and justice and righ¬ teousness. ”Our civilization can be maintained and restored,” wrote Walter Lippman, long before this class was born, ”only by remembering and re-discovering the truths, and by re-establishing the virtuous habits on which it was founded. There is no use looking into the bleak future for some new and fancy revelation of what man needs in order to live.” It is in you we place our Hope and look for the re-discovery of these transcendent virtues.
