MEMBERS OF THE CLASS OF 1949 MR. I. W. HAZARD QL E theme of your Athenian is Our Town.” Many of you have been citizens of Athens since your birth. For you it will always hold a place in your heart all your life that no new experience can replace. Some of you have not been citizens of the town but all have been citizens of the school. Graduation will sever that relationship but you will still be citizens of this town or some other. Whatever the town, you will still be citizens of the world. It is our hope that your experiences as citizens of the school have created within you a love for and understanding of democratic freedom that will shape the pattern of your actions toward that ideal not only for the home town but for the world. It is probable that modern development in transportation and communications have made it possible to maintain the freedom we love only by setting up that ideal as a goal for all the world and working toward it with all possible speed. Democratic world citizenship is the need of the hour. It is a grave responsibility. 12 MRS. SOUTHEE
