PBESTDENT'b ADDRESS HMECHANICAL INGENUITY MUST NOW MAKE ITS GFEATEST C0Wl2fbvTI01 Ladies and Gentlemen: It is with great pleasure that I come before you as pres' ident of the Glass of l9h2, A We are exceedingly fortunate to step out of school at this interesting period in the world's history. We are fore tunate because before us are unlimited opportunities for em ployment and endless possibilities for development into what ever trade or profession may interest us most. Along with all these opportunities there is another great opportunity of a very different nature. It is our opportunity to render a greater service to onr government than has been possible before. Within our own lives no other class has graduatel from high school at a time when we were at war. In all the history of America no other class has graduated from high school at a time more important to the American way of lifew Progress in the recent past has made great contribution to the pleasure and comfort of living. All of that great prow gress in the past must now concentrate upon the effort to hold that which has been gained in the past ..,- More progress has been made in the last hundred years than there was from the days of Caesar to the beginning of the present time there has been more progress than in all the previous history of man, It has brought a complete transformation of every phase of life as complete and as radical as the change from th, ctcprt to the airplane. We now graduate into a perido of history in which all progress of the past must now make its greatest contribution to hu- man life. Young people who are commencing life now realize well that they are missing the drwlgery that characterized all ages prior to this one, American inventive genius has ene tered every field of human endeavor and has lightened the load in nearly every walk of life, Human hands and minds direct machinery and the forces supplied by nature furnish the power drives the machinery, In 1905 the Wright Brothers made their first airplane Blight but little was thought of it. Few considered that such a contraption would ever be practical. Today the fate of nations depends upon which can build more and better aire planes. Just a few years ago rumor went around the world that Germany had perhaps twenty thc sand airplanes ready for war service, a figure so high that it was almost unbelievpe able. According to the same rumor wild guessers were estii mating that Germany was prepared to build upwards of three thousands planes amonth. Th those figgres American ingenuity has an answer. T1 Januar? of this year our President made the staggering ann nouncement that plans were made for the building of 185,069 P15103 in 3-9U-2 and l9lL5. He said the country must przbduce 5,000 Planes per month in l9Lp2 and 10,000 per month in 19ff.3 That is enough p lanes which of flying in rows of five spacp 100 feet apart from nose to tail would make a solid connru 900 miles aong, -
