To the Class of l943: No Choate class has ever faced the same responsibility. For every man of you there lies just ahead a highly specialized training-exacting, rigorous, com- petitive. That is only the beginning of a job that may take you to Iceland, India, Europe, China. And it is only the groundwork for the biggest job ahead of your generation-which is nothing less than being the kind of people who literally by their presence change the face of affairs. To change the face of affairs all over a war-torn world-that is the goal, and we can't let anything second-rate or superficial get in the way. We're living in A Time for Greatness. A score of you-members of the Class of 1943-are even now training in the Army or Navy. Your reports are graphic: Our first week here we spent in tents, and it was a cold week, the temperature often below freezing. On K. P. days we are out of bed at 3 :OO instead of 5 :OO and work for sixteen or eighteen hours straight .... 'lWe get three hours of Physics a day along with History and Geography. Besides that we have drill and Physical Training. We run two miles a day, and on Saturday six or seven miles. There is no easy way for anybody any more. And I congratulate you. In times like these there is a law of human nature that works for you, works strongly for every fellow who has character and convictions. You will rise to the challenge of these days and months, and be stronger, deeper men because life is demanding your best, and better than your best. You will know how to turn a bad thing into a good one, how to build within yourselves a spiritual fibre that will be a saving force in our country and the world. Here at School this year you fellows in the Sixth have set new standards. You have made the highest scholastic average of any graduating class. You have all helped out in the every-day mechanics of housekeeping, in the Dining Room or the Chapel or on the Farm-some of you have taken the initiative and volun- teered to do far more than we ever asked. ln joining the Alumni Association and making your contribution to the Alumni Fund for 1942-43, your class has set a precedent that heartens and strengthens us. You have made yourselves one team with those hundreds of Alumni--more than half of them in the Armed Forces-who have supported the Fund, men who know and prize the best things there are here at Choate, in large measure because they helped to build them. More than one Master goes into the Services with you. Every man of us who stays wishes he could do far more to back you up. We'll make it our prayer that the work and spirit of the School will help. And we in turn will be strength- ened and cheered more than you can know by all the courage and understanding and character that, year after year, go into your life. GEORGE ST. JOHN. 12
