PAUL C. BUNN . , K . Siigicrmteiidcrit oi ecncoll C x lr K tschcne Stutliu The Challenge to Youth When this War is over, the battles for peace will begin. If we are wise, we shall plan now the fight for a just and an enduring peace. XVhen our boys entered World War I, they were told that they were to engage in a war to end wars and to malce the world safe for democracy. How empty those slogans sound today! We won the First World War, but we lost the peace. How can we avoid a repetition of that tragedy and malce impossible a third world conflict? We cannot have a lasting peace merely by wishing for it. The fight for peace cannot be won by enslaving our enemies. A peace based on hatred and revenge cannot endure. Justice demands that the crim- inals who were responsible for starting this war must be punished, but we shall not bring about permanent peace by attempting to exterminate the conquered peoples. What then can we do? High school students will not have a place at the peace table but they can prepare them- selves to do their part in defending, preserving, and promoting those American ideals of liberty and justice which will insure a lasting peace in the world. The American high school youth of today should be, and can be, the leaders of the world tomorrow if they will prove themselves,worthy of that leadership. Be ready to meet the challenge!

DR. C. W. RICKSECKER Principal Thrift Insures Future Security Members of the Graduating Classes of 1945: America's greatness, we hear quite frequently, can be attributed to the sturdy and sacrificing life of our pioneers. The baclcground of their spirit was based undoubtedly upon a frugal and thrifty form of life. And in their simple life they were happy. The will to save was both a private and public matter. Their desire to help their country, rather than secure something from it, produced the spirit of our colonists that made possible our basic instruments of government. Propet' investment in energy and finance enlarged our nation to its present size. In peace and war the determination to malce the most of our initiative, saving for the rainy day, laying by for the generation to come and spending wisely have been common aims of most of our people. More recently, however, there has been a trend from the attitude of thrift to one of paternalism. From the desire to be self-responsible too many are attempting to force the government, regardless of party, to carry their responsibility. True it is that in an industrial community there needs to be forms of social security, but if all were to save for the time of need, little help would be needed from an over- burdened public treasury. To the members of the graduating classes, and to the student body, of which you have been a part, the appeal is made to save all possible, invest with care your energy and time, and to the extent that you are not a leaner, barring certain mis- fortunes, will you find happiness. Success to you, congratulations for your achievements, and will you stand by for the school as the school wishes to aid when it is possible? g Page Eight 60646 by
