Page Six The Last Lesson Great disasters often act as a crucible. They sometimes warrant conclusions which otherwise might not be evident. The two World Wars have proven, among other things, the unstinted loyalty and devotion of our young people to the ideals of the American democracy, and have demonstrated the courage necessary to protect and preserve these ideals. The conduct of the American youth enrolled in the schools during these years of war serves as unquestioned proof of their deep devotion to country and home. Many volunteered their services immediately. Upon their country's call others followed. All were determined to win. What is true of American youth in general is certainly true of the boys and girls of this community. Hundreds of them entered military service, others backed them. Their sacrifices must not and will not have been in vain. We owe a debt to these boys and girls. Let's pay it.
