You have had the unique privilege of living and working in a modern junior high school named in honor of and, actuated by the high ideals of the great American citizen, Woodrow Wilson. I congratulate you upon the many splendid successes and triumphs which have characterized your year of joyous, harmonious work at Wilson. As student citizens in your youthful school community, you have had the opportunity, under the inspiration and leadership of a sympathetic, progressive faculty and principal, of attaining superior scholarship, of building vigorous bodies, of learning and practicing the principles of fair play and true sportsmanship, of standing for justice and a square deal, of serving unselfishly your school's best interests, of being genuinely considerate of your teachers and school comrades, of exhibiting qualities of trustworthy leadership, and of displaying exemplary character in being constantly faithful in work, study and play to the high ideals of your school. Woodrow VVilson was a world citizen. He was the foremost apostle of peace in our genera- tion. The all absorbing desire of his tender, altruistic heart was that the VVorld War, into which he reluctantly called the United States, might end war in the world and that in the councils of the nations following the VVorld VVar there might evolve a concerted plan for the peaceful solution of differences between nations. Woodrow VVilson is gone. The citizens of today and tomorrow must determine whether his ideals of world peace are to live and become effective in the world of human relationships. May you as world citizens in your day and generation help to evolve his ideals of peace and make them a reality. Very sincerely yours, Tulsa, Oklahoma, April 4, 1931 Superinlenden! of Srhoalr 'BDNBDDDBDDDJDDDDBBP 58525533 'HSI Mi'-IQCCCQCKKKCKCCCCKCCCCCKCQG' PAGE 12

S N 7 E ARE still too near to the VVorld VVar and to the endeavors of YVoodrow Wilson to attempt a thoroughgoing evaluation of his services to the cause of world peace. It is well, though, for the Booster Staff to choose to emphasize the contribution which President Wilson made in promoting the ideal of peace among nations. I am quite certain that WVoodrow Wilson, who was ever the educator, would, were he here, heartily approve of your splendid action in this regard. You have caught the vision with which he challenged the imagination of the civilized world. If peace among the nations is ever to become an actuality, it will be because the youth of the world possess a passion for peace. I urge you, therefore, to pursue your interest in world citizenship and prepare yourselves to carry for- ward the cause of international good will and understanding. The problem of discovering pacific means of settling disputes among nations will be a paramount issue of your generation. It is altogether likely that some of you will become leaders in this increasingly important work during the next forty years. In any event each of you can become students of international relationships, intelligent promoters of the ideals of peace, and citizens of the new era of world citizenship which modern transportation and communication makes inevitable. May I remind you that the best preparation for world citizenship is participation now in the life of your school and community. That the pupils at Woodrow Wilson Junior High School do manifest a high type of school citizenship is a matter of common knowledge. Your definite interest, therefore, in the larger problems of national and international life is most encouraging. I trust that you may live to see the fulfillment of the glorious dreams of him whom your school delights to honor-WooDRow W1LsoN.
