MESSAGE •k Before another Tartan ap- pears we hope the end of W orld War Two may be an accom- jilished fact. At least we now feel assured of the dawn of vic- tory. To achieve that end we are making many sacrifices. Whatever the ivar demands of us in money, ivork, and energy we are willing and eager to give. But when the final gun has been fired our problems will multiply. They will grow much more complex. And the great danger is that they may be less tangible because the physical dangers of combat no longer exist — the glamour of doing something concrete, the per- sonal satisfaction of giving something will have been re- moved. Our problems then icill be more difficult of solu- tion. If the peace is to be won and maintained, we and millions more the world over must be willing continuously to put aside selfish interests on a scale never demanded of previous generations. Consideration for the welfare of others must loom large in our thinking. War ' s end may find this hemisphere untouched by the devastation and ravage of actual combat. But the preservation of funda- mental human rights must then be one of our major concerns as well as the greatest opportu- nity ever presented to the hu- man race. In 1919 Prime Minister Churchill said that the test of a nation ' s greatness is what it will do when it is tired. Amer- ica will reach its supreme test and greatest opportunity ivhen, no doubt, it may well be weary. Let ' s help our country rise to greatness when its energies are low. The Four Freedoms to which this year book is dedicated are possible only as all of us are willing to pay the price in sacri- fice, self-denial, and adherence to our best beliefs. Destiny is calling. Do ive have an ansiver? Lemuel R. Johnston Principal

Dewar. •k A high school yearbook which stresses mails freedoms in democratic living reflects the serious concern which youth has for the nation ' s future. As civilization progresses, accelerated by phenom- enal scientific discoveries, the possibility of realiz- ing greater freedoms has developed more rapidly than has man ' s ability to include them in the pat- tern of everyday living. The problem is so com- plex that we even have difficulty in preserving all of those precious freedoms that Americans have enjoyed in the past. The oncoming generation has an unusual oppor- tunity to preserve old freedoms while creating new ones, so that future decades will bring us happier living and a more complete realization of the American Dream.
