The Strength Ol Gur Democrcicy ls Nlecisured MR HUGHES, PRINCIPAL Hundreds of thousands of American youths are graduating from high school this spring. Many of them will continue their formal education. Others will find their places in the rapidly expanding industrial life, made necessary by the ever-expanding defense program. Still others may soon go into active service in some branch of the Federal govern- ment. There is no doubt that the present crisis constitutes a threat of the most serious character to the way of life 'in which the people of the United States have so profoundly believed. Page fourteen LJ Mr. Hughes TCllC9S Over As members of the l94l graduating class of Columbus High School, you will be called upon to give much of yourself to preserve this American way of life. Students who return to high school next fall will find it necessary to make many sacrifices. May the spiritual and intellectual achievements made during your high school life serve you well in this crisis. Build strongly and securely your ethi- cal and moral defenses. Thank God you are still free, still captains of your souls. Be sure you do your full duty day by day. Be happy in the thought that you have done your best.

New NEA Head l94l, AN IMPORTANT DATE IN HISTORY In our quiet and peaceful little Indi- ana community, life has gone on about as usual during the past year. There have been a few more buildings erect- ed than customary. Our factories are busier because of defense contracts. A few people we' know have gone off to army camps for a year's training. The papers have been full of war news from far-off places. But for the most part we have gone about our daily tasks and pleasures, as our parents did before us, and with little less as- surance that all is well with the world . Yet we are living in a revolutionary, war-torn world full of hatrelds, cruelty and injustice. And soon we, with our peaceful life, our security, our contentment, will be drawn, whether we will it or not, into the world tur- moil, and the good old days of l94l will be no more. All that we hold dear will be challenged and will have' to be fought for. Our American democ- racy will meet its first real crisis as will our economic system and our so- cial structure. It may well be that l94l will be a date long remembered as a critical point in our civilization. Let us hope that in the grave days to come we may be as brave and wise as our forefathers have been during several other crises that have threat- cned our civilization. MR. DUSHANE, SUPERINTENDENT Page thu teen
