Commencement time for members of the Class of 1945 ami their friends brings to fruition the ambition held high over the years that are past. During these years you have acquired an education that is basic and yet paramount in its importance that you may take your place in the affairs of National and inter-national scope. You stand today as members of humanity on the threshold of a new era when justice and righteousness shall prevail. An era when knowledge and attitudes favorable to a lasting and durable peace shall he developed by education. People are beginning to realize that education can be a powerful force for peace. If there ever was a cause worthy to call forth all the effort, devotion, and intelligence of men, it is the cause of peace. Surely the democracies can with education and lofty idealism, build up their young people into devoted believers for the cause for which we are fighting. To you, the Class of 1945, we extend our sincere wishes for a happy and useful life. Robert C. Landis, Siifwrintcndcnt of Schools.
