VIRGIL R. HENRY Principal Senior High School Grove City College, B. S. University of Pittsburgh, M. of Ed. Much is being said about the lack of preparation and poor qualifications of boys returning from the armed forces and entering college. Because of deficiencies in their previous education, they are doomed to disappointment and discouragement in academic work. They should receive council from persons qualified to advise and guide them into the type of school for which their ability best fits them. High school students, seventeen years of age or older, who leave high school to enter the armed forces make a serious mistake. The argument used that they will get their obligation to the army satisfied and then finish school is open to grave doubt. They will find pursuing a high school course after two or three years of absence is doubly difficult, and in many cases will never complete the work. Too frequently young people get the idea that having expenses paid guarantees a college education. They fail to realize the hours and years of work required to complete any worthwhile course. This should not discourage but rather act as a challenge to the young men and women who seek an education. (12)

RALPH D. PURDY Superintendent Conneaut City Schools Asbury College, A. B. University of Kentucky, M. A. Ohio State University, Post Graduate To the Class of 1946: A new and strange word has been born in the writing of Mr. Frank C. Laubach. Its growth has been rapid; its message has and will affect the lives of millions of people. This new word is CIHU (Kyhoo), meaning, “CAN I HELP YOU? ’ You, the graduates of 1946, and those who follow you, will determine whether or not your children shall give their lives to protect and defend our country and our way of life twenty-five or thirty years hence. The Hague court, The League of Nations, The Kellopp-Briand Treaty outlawed war, but war outlawed all of these well built structures. Today we are trying all over again with The Four Freedoms, The U. N. O., and others which will follow. These will succeed only as their foundations are solid. The efforts of 1918-40 failed because any structure will crumble if it is built on sand. The essence of CIHU was neither known nor practiced as evidenced by scarred relationships within homes and communities, within nations and between nations over problems of races, classes, religions and economic systems. These issues are still before us, and they will continue to haunt our happiness, safety and well-being until we constructively and cooperatively do something about it. Jesus said, “Love One Another.” This is but another way of saying, CIHU (Can I Help You?). If all of us were to adopt this as a basic principle of our lives there would be no need for Courts of Human Relations, a U. N. O., or a World Court. Truly a miracle would be wrought in our midst. But it must begin in the minds and hearts of each one of us. There it can be born, and there it can grow. Members of the class of 1946, “Love One Another.” Approach all people with “CIHU.” It’s a magic key to a better world and to your unlimited future. Expectantly yours (ID
