WE WELCOME THE ATOMIC AGE SALUTATORY NoLA Allen It is with great pleasure that L on behalf of the senior class, welcome Mr. Allen, members of the Board of Education. Mr. Pointer, our guest speaker, ihe faculty, parents, and friends on this memorable occasion. We. the members of the senior class are experiencing one of the greatest moments of our lives. The time has almost come when we will be alumni of Central High School. But as we ap- EARKINGS • BRACELETS • RINGS PINS • CLIPS JACOBUS 115 W. Colfax Ave. Phone 4-1311 proach graduation, which is one of the first steps towards the completion of our education, we realize that in this age of atomic energy, we are merely beginning. We welcome the Atomic Age. but it is up to us whether there will be a future generation that will appreciate the fact that we did welcome this Age. This depends upon what we do with our oppor- tunity of trying to repay society for showing its faith in us by making our graduation possible. May we profit by the mistakes of the past and have the guidance and foresight to choose that which is right and have the ability to follow our choice to a suc- cessful completion. Albert Einstein laid the foundation for releasing atomic energy when he changed the concept of scientists toward matter and energy. The possibilities of using atomic energy as a source of constructive power are great, but un- fortunately, the international situation is such as to cause increased interest in the development of the more deadly atomic weapons, rather than the prompt application of atomic energy to peaceful projects. But because of its great possibilities iii B. - S.

THE INTERLUDE 87 ihe fields of science, medicine, and as a source of power, we believe that its development will result in a greater and better world. It is towards this goal that we are aiming. We have completed twelve years of schooling. Day after day we have delved into our studies, our minds absorbing impressions which have enabled us to come to decisions on pertinent issues, impressions which have etched deeply into our characters, im- pressions which have swayed our actions, our senti- ments, even our morals. But there is need for more training in college and in the home, for when we take our place in the world, we will be relying upon our past training as a stable foundation. The peo- ple of today are lost in the maze of the complexities of life. At the present the nations are restless, but the assumption of power by clear-minded, level- headed leaders can do more to solve the problems of the present day world than another war could ever hope to do. It is to us. the graduating class of ' ■i ' . that the leaders of today and tomorrow are looking in hope of finding in us that certain quality and ability which will bring about improved political and economic conditions. We. with the proper traini ng and ideals, can make this world a far better place in which to live if atomic power plays it. ' ; true role as a benefit to man. We are going forth in the world not impressed to such a degree as formerly, but rather making im- pressions, determined to make our mark in the Atomic Age and fully aware of our responsibilities. We welcome the Atomic Age. MEANING OF THE ATOMIC AGE DAVID COQUILLARD Class President I am sure that you have all wondered whether the young people ever look ahead a little father than to a good time or the next date, refusing to recog- nize the vicissitudes of the world about them. I hope you will believe me when I say we are very conscious of present day problems. Business today is an ever enlarging progression first started by the industrious, freedom loving, and enterprising men who founded our nation. As we graduate from high school, we see before us a com- plex world whose complexity and ever changing conditions will have a great effect upon our futuie jobs, homes, and families. As a result of this com- plexity we have a life which can no longer wait for the jack-of-all-trades to do a fair job. but demands a specialist to do his task only and do it well. Science is perhaps the largest one factor that has created this specialization. Over one hundred and fifty years ago the Industrial Revolution started the American people on a road that was to make them become the productive leaders of the world, and later the political leaders. It was American production that beat the Japanese and Germans in the Second World War. It is production and scientific progress that now finds us as leaders in such fields as air- craft, atomic energy, radar, and medicine. More im- portant, it is this same production and rcientific know-how that enable us to maintain and to improve our standard of living. Naturally our living standard, manufacturing achievements, and military power do not go un- noticed, and the United States finds herself the leader of the democratic nations of the world. This world today is split into two camps by a political schism between democracy and communism. The United States leads the western or democratic camp, while Russia leads the communistic countries of the East. We are part of that democratic West. We are the future of the United States, and consequently of the western camp. It is for us to make the decisions that will bring about peace and prosperity. Such documents as the Atlantic Pact were drawn up for our benefit, and the future of that pact and the wel- fare of all freedom loving peoples of the world are our responsibility. I want you to know that wc realize this responsibility is ours and we shall as- sume it willingly. Thanks to scientific and industrial development the world has become so small that such words as nationalism and nationalitv will soon become obso- lete.

As leaders of the democratic world we must attempt to under- stand and to help the people who make up these states. The United States can no longer live in her smug shell of prosperity and good fortune, but as the leader of the democratic nations of the world she must realize the significance of her every action We must consider these actions in the light of the effect they will have upon those who look to us for leadership. With this in mind we feel that it is important that we first erase the blemishes of our own democracy. Democracy must work here in our own country for the Negro as well as for the white, for the Jew as well as for the Catholic and Protes tant. so that those looking to us will feel confident of our ability to show them the way to peace and to prosperity: and opponents of our way of life will have little to criticize. In conclusion, let me say that though we shall someday be faced with the grave responsibilities ot this nation, this atomic age is a grand time in which to be alive. American scientists will soon have atomic energy harnessed for useful and constructive purposes. Atomic energy will unquestionably give us greater comfort, a higher standard of living, and wider fields for progress similar to those made pos- sible by the discovery and use of electricity in the past fifty years. Therefore we say that despite the responsibilities that will be ours, we are anticipating a richer, a fuller, and a more interesting life. MY PLACE IN THE COMMUNITY DICK DEFREEUW Valedictorian We are now entering a new age of human exist- ence which is called the Atomic Age. Ae we enter this new age. one should begin to consider his duties and obligations to the community. Because of the tremendous responsibility that is being placed on the individual of today, my most important duty is to become a good citizen in order to prepare myself for future leadership. To become a good citizen, it is my obligation unselfishly to put the community before myself. I can do this by attending civic meetings, participating in local activities, obeying city ordinances, and by trying in every way possible to make my city a better place in which to live. It is also my obligation to help the needy by donating to such organizations as the Red Cross, the Community Chest, and various other groups engaged in social service. My duty also is FOR RENT OR SALE All Makes of New and Used TYPEWRITERS • REPAIRS • RIBBONS • CARBONS SUPER SALES CO.

I can raise the economic status of the community by get- ting a higher education so I can secure a good job in order to become financially stable. The most important thing that is needed in the city is unity, and unity certainly cannot exist if there are petty prejudices present. Racial, social and religious prejudices are inexcusable and may tend to disunite a city or any governmental federation. It is therefore my duty to break down these prejudices. The individual himself is the most important part of an organization of any kind. It could not exist without him because of the significant role that he plays. Therefore it is up to all of us as in- dividuals to construct a peaceful and lasting unity in the community in which we live. MY PLACE AS A CITIZEN OF THE WORLD JANE MACLEAN Valedictorian Too many of us are prone to think of the world in terms of our own daily existence, in terms of our own friends, experiences, problems, and needs. By the term world, I mean the many different peoples who live on the earth, and the different customs and beliefs which they hold. Such instruments of mod- ern living as the airplane and the radio have brought us increasingly close to people in other parts of the world, but it is only recently that the real im- portance of the worM and its people to our own way of living has been brought home to us in a forceful and somewhat shattering manner. The in- creasing importance of the atomic age has and will continue to bring people from the petty oblivion of their own lives with ever-increasing rapidity. The atomic age is primarily an age of big things, and it demands big people to live in it. We must awaken from our smug and self-satisfied shell, or the world, as we know it. will come tumbling down about our cars. We must stop thinking of ourselves as citizens of a certain city, a certain state, or even of a certain country; we must begin to think of ourselves as citizens of the world. In this position we must overcome our selfish greed, our intolerance and mis- understanding, and our attitude of me-first. We must adopt a broader and more understanding view- point towards the needs, education, philosophies, and religions of others. We should not allow others to run over us: on the contrary, we should insist upon those rights and privileges which are due to citizens of the world. If we belive that democracy is the best form of government, it is up to us to prove it. not by force, but by education and by our cwn example. Atomic energy can be a great force for construc- tion or destruction: it is obviously necessary that it be used for constructive purposes. This can be accomplished only bv a people who think and act as world citizens. It is up to the youth of this country, it is up to us. to prove that it can be done I CONGRATULATIONS ■49 SENIORS HOWARD SIGRIST FURNITURE CO. I 416 S. Michigan St. 3-3137 I . — .. + IS IT WORTH IT? JACKIE DesLAURIERS Valedictorian When I asked several people the question, Is the Atomic Age worth while? I received some in- teresting replies. The one I am going to pass on to you is this: The Atomic Age is worth while because it presents us with a new form of power which is better than any we have ever had before, and people are always interested in something new. This reply has a pertinent point, mainly, that atomic energy is a new source of power, and any- one who disagrees with the worthiness of progress is seated on the extreme right of any political body. Since man now has a new form of power, he ii very interested in seeing what he can do with it. If he is mature in his thinking, he will probably use his new power in a very humane fashion. If he uses it conversely, it will be unfortunate. But still we shall not be able to say that atomic power is not worth while because of what man does with it. Going back through the ages to when man first came upon fire — another form of energy — I dare say there were many men who were burned before they learned how to control fire. But I doubt whether any of you would say that fire is an un- worthy type of energy and should be destroyed. Cars may be used as another example. Because there arc some reckless drivers and other forces which cause injury, not many of us are going to to call that vehicle unworthy and give up riding in it. But yet. that is the precise sentiment many of our grand parents held toward the automobile when first it made its appearance. We are not always in a posi- tion to judge the worth of a movement or force. We exist such a comparatively short time, ihat we often do not gain the proper perspective. This keeps man in the dark most of the time. Therefore we can say from the experience of those who have preceded us that the Atomic Age assuredly will be worth any effort demanded of us and we are ready to devote our energies to its development.
