ROBERT H. ROSS Vice-Principal Greetings to the Student Body: It is difficult for us to foresee just what lies ahead after four war years. This much is assured-that Peace will come to those who continue to fight for it. Your part in the struggle is to prepare yourselves so well that your future and that of your fellowmen is secure. Success seems to shine upon those who expand their power of concen- tration, upon those who permit good judgment to control their activity, and upon those who develop a lceen sense of fairness to all. May every success be yours. I Page Nine

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
