DR HOWARD ANDREW KINHART efmage fo file .Seniors Be strong! We are not here to play, to dream, to drift, We have hard work to do, and- loads to lift, Shun not the struggle-face it, 'tis C-od's gift, This advice by Dr. Babcock is especially appropriate at this moment when all Americans must give unstintingly of themselves and their possessions in order to combat successfully the forces of tyranny which seek to destroy us. America made strong through hard work, intelligent thinking, and morality not only will survive the terrific impacts of war, but also it will prosper in times of peace. These three essential traits, applied zealously by you and me, will keep our country the land of the free and will make it a rich heritage for our posterity. May your attendance here at Annapolis High School prove to be of much value both to you individually and also to society in general. My good wishes go to you! May our fond memories be lasting!
