I A Nlr David L. Swartz . . Superintendent of Schools l Atomic Energy ............................ Unlimited Force . Members of the Class of 1950: As I write this message, news commentators, congressmen and people in general are expressing their opinions on the atomic armaments race now going on between the United States and the U .S.S.R. just yesterday Presi- dent Truman speaking as comnzander-in-chief of our army gave the decision to begin the development of the hydrogen super-bomb-a new weapon designed for an explosion far more destructive than the Atom. Bomb of World W ar II. Very few announcements by President Trumari have met with such overwhelming approval. In my opinion this serious step in the armaments race indicates that most people in our country areYwilling to support the production of any weapon regardless how destructive, provided it gives some assurance that our American liberties will be preserved. Although this situation does not give the graduate a very pleasant out- look on the future, it does present a challenge to all who are gradzlating from schools throughout the country. You can strive to bring about unity in A rnerica, peaceful international relations, and the promotion of human free- dom in the world. You can work toward saving the world from this mad race toward destruction.. 1 I wish to congratulate you on your achievement in high school and en- courage you to meet your future problems with courage and determination. Strive to accumulate more skill and wisdom and go forth to do noble things. In the words of the great American lawyer and educator, Horace jllflann: '4Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for hulnanityf' Daviil L. Swartz 4 4 1
