How many times have you heard these four words before? You have not only heard them but said them yourself. Vol- umes have bden written to keep our morale high, our courage strong, but enough can not be said to the youth of America to make us realize the impor- tance of today. Make today count for tomorrow! should be our motto. The urge of 'teen age boys now in high school is to get into it, to leave dreary school work, to see action before the war is ended. They might argue, Isn't it our patriotic duty to join the armed forces? Of course it is, but it is also their patriotic duty to be re- sponsible for our post-war problem. A few shrug off the question, What will you do after the war? with the carefree answer, Let the future take care of itself. But will the future take care of itself unless it has help and guidance today? It would indeed be an unprogressive world if we, the youth of today, did not get our high school diplomas and were unable to obtain further education. Who will run our government after this war? The men now in office cannot live for- ever. They cannot carry on their should- ers the care and affairs of State with the strength of Atlas or with the longevity of Methuselah. There must be young men to replace them, young men with ambition and originality. The post war settlement must be a lasting agreement between countries. This war must be the war to end all wars! If we are not successful in this peace planning, in an- other twenty or thirty years war lords will again gather around a table and make plans for the destruction of civil- ized people. Youth of America, do your part, stay in the fight, learn all you can while you can. Build tomorrow today!!

Few peo- ple realize just what a letter from home or from that certain someone can
