Superintendent RAY t ELSEA Superintendent of the Com Area Joint Schools TO THE CLASS OF 68 AFTER GRADUATION WHAT? We will congratulate you at commencement time and then look forward to complimenting you again at a later date for another job well done. A follow-up study will be made of the Class of 68. Your class has much to offer your community, your country and your loved ones. Most of all perhaps the world needs your frank, honest, optimistic spirit of youth. Youth has always stood for fair play and ideals. Some day the young people of the world will band together in a new movement and project their ideas and plans for future international peace and cooperation. Whether listening to foreign students, talking in Texas. Minnesota. Pennsylvania or near the Rock of Gibraltar my impression has been the same. Youth speaks a common language. Young people detest the hypocrite, the pharisee and the dictator. They admire courage, integrity, action, and fair play. It is this language of youth from free nations that must write the peace terms of the world—not the will of dictators from the Near East or the Far East. Unfortunately. however, we must admit that the communists have imposed their thinking upon approximately one-third of the world population. And always—great emphasis has been placed on control of the minds of students through indoctrination. But why should the Class of 68 be concerned about the world problems? You are being graduated during a period of great national prosperity. However, this land of prosperity, freedom and opportunity can remain so only if there is character. wisdom and vision in our government and in our citizenry. Right now it appears the Torch of Freedom has lost its bright glow and national integritv has corroded. That is why the future of America depends so much on the ideals, character and courage of the youth of unlay. We hope that our future report on you shows that the Class of 68 “Served with Distinction. Ray E. Elsea . Superintendent of Schools
