CHICAGO, fl2l ILL. To the Students of Crane Technical High School - Again two classes arrive at their destination, graduation from Crane: in June, the class of '45 and in February, time class of '45 lf2. It is time to pause for reflection. What have we accomplished, what still lies before us, what are our responsibilities? For the past, we rray review our accomplishments with quiet satis- faction. In the midst of a devastating war, the needs of our nation and of our boys in the service have been foremost in our minds. To that end we have cooperated well in all drives favoring the war effort. A more important achievement, however, is our preparation for outstanding service. Crane's preparation, though designed to produce effective citizenship in a peaceful democracy, is unsurpassed for service to that democracy when engaged in highly technical war. Many a nan in the front lines is inspired by Crane's half-century-old motto, To Know and To Do . As we look ahead the outlook for a victorious peace becomes brighter daily. We hope it is not for long that Uncle Sam will need you in the armed forces: but whether the future holds war or peace, you undoubtedly will give good account of yourselves. Under the able leadership of your sponsors, Mr. Diefenback and Mr. Singer, and of your fine teachers and coaches you have developed habits of thinking and acting which, I am confident, will result in right condwt wherever you are. We wish you every success and happiness but success is not confined to the selfish accumulation of unter ial things. You have incurred obliga- tions to your parents, to your school and teachers, and to the community, all of vlhom have made your education possible. Success is not yours, nor can you be happy until these obligations have been met. Upon the shoulders of all Youth rests the responsibility to shape the future of democracy. Your community gave you an education in order that there might be a 'setter community It is your obligation to see that this cozmes to pass. We hope that Crane boys, through effective thinking and acting, will always defend our freedom and liberties, will practice a fine spirit of goodwill, nnl will strive to improve our social and economic structure in order that this may become a better world in which to live. 1513743-7h Leo R.
