,GM from new HARRY L. KRINER . Superintendent of Schools In America, high school graduation is a marked achievement and your class year 1944+ will become one of the most outstanding historical dates in your career. Coinci- dentally your class year of 1944 is certain to have great significance to all members of society. Possibly it is difficult for you to appreciate the fact that you are grad- uating from high school in one of the most crucial years in the history of civilization. However, future students of history will for centuries point back to the present war as one of the great turning points in the development of mankind and designate 1944 as the climax of the terrific conflict. ' You can rightfully feel proud of your contributions to the Victory March be- cause of the faithful work in the class room as students and of the conscientious con- tributions made in the many community war activities. Your unselfish effort in help- ing the Home Front in its saving, serving, and sacrificing has been worthy of emula- tion. While this community has been spared the ravages and destruction of war, you have felt its pangs because many of your own group have helped to carry the brunt of battle and members of your own class have made the supreme sacrifice. You are deserving of our most sincere congratulations. Your courage in facing the future, your faith in mankind, your will to achieve, and your patriotic zeal guar- antee your value to this Grand Old Republic, called the United States of America. Our wish for you is success and Godspeed. Page Ten
