March, 1942 Dear Graduates: In this letter, written in March for your Iune Year Book, I am stripping my vocabulary of platitudes. I am making my thoughts practical and clear. In these tempestuous times, we cannot afford to fool ourselves. We must be realistic in planning, and we must be emphatically prompt in action. We must do better work and more work than we have thought possible. We must leave off day-dreaming and concern ourselves with the present and immediate future, showing fortitude and steady application. Many of you are asking, What can I do to help? There is one answer that has brought opportunity to over 700 Merrill-trained boys and girls since Iuly, 1941. That answer is, S-E-R-V-E! These people have been trained in minimum time to give maximum service. Some are working under Civil Service in Washington: some are working in Defense Industries: some are working for private individuals: some are in the Armed Forces. They are secretaries, accountants, medical assistants, and by the time this is printed, there will be draftsmen,-all trained at Merrill. They are working and earning and contributing toward Winning This War! Merrill is on an all-out program. We are ready to train YOU for maximum efficiency in minimum time. School will be open all summer, with morning, afternoon, and evening programs. YOU CAN SERVE! J YOUR NATION NEEDS YOUR HELP AS AN INDEPENDENT WORKER! There will be years ahead, God willing, when you will have an opportunity to do many things, to try many types of work- when this War has become history and life assumes a calmer mold. BUT NOW ACTION IS NECESSARY! LET US PREPARE YOU TO DO YOUR PART TOWARD VICTORY! . Sincerely yours VIRGINIA DREW, Principal. The Merrill Schools .
