Mr. Powers' letter Witli each succeeding year, the war comes closer to you boys who are about to gradu- ate. More than forty boys of the present Class I are already in the armed forces. The war brings an unwelcome interruption to your schooling, but you must accept it as something that cannot be avoided. The de- fense of your country is your Hrst and highest duty, and I know that each of you is ready to do his part with courage and devotion. 7. Even though your country should require your services for a period of years, stick to your purpose to complete your college educa- :ion. Those of you who have enterd the armed forces before the completion of your Class l work should make plans without delay to earn credit for any such studies as you may have missed. Write to the United States Armed Forces Institute, Madison 3, Wis- consin, for information about in-service study. Most higher institutions and other
accrediting agencies, and even the officers in charge of officer candidate schools within the service, will require that you present, not a diploma, but rather a transcript show- ing four years of secondary school study completed. Boys who have been admitted to College may obtain credit for college work also through the Armed Forces In- stitute. While you are waiting to be called, keep yourself in top physical condition. I have no misgivings about your mental prepared- ness. Eat plenty of plain, wholesome food. Get to bed early. Walk as much as you can, with well-fitting shoes. Take part in com- petitive outdoor sports. Learn to swim un- der waterg and to float, whether the water be smooth or rough, without becoming pan- icky. Your life may depend on this kind of competence. While the war lasts and you are in the service, you will give it your all-out effort, for you will be performing a sacred duty. You will be fighting not only for the safety of your own people but for an object very close to yourself-your right, and the right of every American boy, to shape your own future as your permits, plans direct and your capacity In all material emergencies of the country, Latin School boys have responded eagerly to the call of duty and their deeds have made up a glorious history. I have no doubt whatever that the Latin School boys of today will show themselves worthy of that splen- did heritage. We of the Faculty salute you and pray that God will bring you safely Page Niue
