'Y L. J. GUSTAITSON The year 1942 will live long in the memory of every boy and girl now attend- ing high school. It saw the beginning of a gigantic world struggle between the forces of evil and the principles of democracy. You who are graduating from an educa- tional institution dedicated to those prin- ciples will be called upon to demonstrate that you have a true understanding and a clear perspective of the issues involved. You must show that you are willing to accept the responsibilities which grow out of the Rights which have been won and preserved by your forefathers. It has been said by one writer to us is given the privilege to do for our country what our fathers did for theirs. L. J.
