To the Graduates of 1943: You are leaving high school to face no easy task, for the demands of the days to come are exacting indeed. Many of your number are already in military service. Each contingent of inductees departing for the training centers will include others of your classmates. The girls and boys, unable to join the armed forces, will receive an urgent call to fill up the ranks of the toiling millions on the production lines. America is depending upon each one of you to do his or her part as a loyal and devoted citizen. We of the faculty are confident that you will prove worthy. We believe that you will stand the test of the severe experiences to which youth is being subjected. In many respects we envy you the opportunities to be of service; to achieve; and to bring honor to your home, to your school, to your community, and to yourselves. We see in you our second chance in life. We congratulate you upon the completion of your secondary school training. Our best wishes go with you into the uncertainties and the difficulties of the days that lie ahead. JOHN D. ANDERSON
