QL!-xsg OF '45 -Em-A.f5s.f i.. - f ' ' :iff si OUR PRI NC I PAL'S MESSAGE With the lowering of the draft age to eighteen years, the entire outlook on life among American youth was completely altered almost overnight, and the responsi- bilities of educators and the government to young men of high school age under- went a corresponding change. The supreme purpose of the youthful years is preparation for life. The dominating spirit is that of hope, and the sustaining sentiment is ambition and the desire to be free. All this of necessity had to change when the clarion call came to American youth to rush to the defense of American freedom and to rally to the support of the faith of their fathers. They have responded readily and willingly throughout the land. The war made it necessary for the high school youth to devote all his time and energy to preparation for the grim business of war. His horizon has been narrowed, perhaps, and from gazing into the limitless future he has been constrained to fixate the closer and more immediate needs of battlefield and military duty. But even with this extraordinary change in outlook and objectives, the present war offers to the American youth of today such opportunities as the fathers of this country possessed when they laid the foundation of freedom, liberty and human decency. This war will be known as the third and, let us hope, the last war fought in behalf of human rights. The first was the Revolutionary War which resulted in the establishment of the cherished principles of freedom. The second was the Civil War which had to be fought to remove the last chains of human slavery. And now we are engaged in the greatest of all wars to preserve our freedom and to remove the shackles of dictatorship and the attempt to set up a dominat- ing master race. For what was true of our own country in the 1860's is equally true of the modern world in the 194-0's, namely, that the world cannot endure half free and half subjugated. The brave young Americans of today will see to it that the world becomes wholly free, and with such a world even greater vistas will unfold, richer opportunities will arise, and hope will abound forever in the human breast everywhere in the world.
