'AVE you learned to think accurately and purposefully? Until you are certain that your thinking is based upon well established truths, you will not have learned to think properly. Do you act promptly as a result of your thinking? Any action taken before you are certain that your thinking has been precise and accurate, and that your conclusions will stand the acid tesi of critical judgment will be premature. The extent to which you have learned to think accurately and act promptly is a direct measure of the effectiveness of your education. When you have learned to do these things efficiently and effectively without undue hesitation, you will then have become a useful member of society. You will then have the right to be thought of as an educated person. . 1 Principal

;'Dedication Y; ORN in a period of economic disaster, raised during a depression, and starting on the road of life in a world thrown into chaos by the mad desires of a dictator, we who are about to graduate find ourselves faced with the problems of a post-war world. The war is not over, but victory will be ours. We are suffering the pangs of anxiety, loneliness, and despair; our brothers, sisters, uncles, and friends fight and die so that we may live in a free democracy; we'll never let them die in vain. We who have had the marvelous advantages of a free public education pledge ourselves to use that learning toward the preservation of peace; we pledge ourselves to be ever watchful of the manner in which the post-war problems are solved. Let us all pray that we shall learn from the mistakes our parents made in the period following World War I. We realize that our nation is the big brother to a family of nations which look up to us in admiration for our advancement. Only through education has this advancement been possible. This is the one thing which no one can take from us and will be our guiding light to a peaceful world. Most of the mistakes in this world are made through ignorance and ignorance cannot survive where educated people live. God gave talents fo each of us. If we make good use of those talents we will have a better world to live in.
