will IS THE nature of mankind, that throughout long J' 'Q periods of darkness, when his eyes are blinded by blood and tears . and his heart lies crushed beneath the weight of disill' fionment, still will his soul seek the stars. We are now living in such an era of blackness. Animosity has, for the moment, taken the light from the earth. Yet we in America are not afraid. America does not fear that shadow which threatens the world. She defies any theory of life which would kill the dream Americans have guarded with their hearts--the dream of freedom. No! It can never be taken from us! As long as man can pray to his God, democracy shall live! The powerful strength of militarism will crumble and be forgotten, the doctrine .of liberty shall endure forever, and we who follow His teachings shall not travel alone. Americans are not afraid, for we have been taught to judge the happenings of today in the light of the events of yesterday. We know that the glories of conquest are outlived by the beauties of peace. We have acquired a sense of values, and know that tolerance and intelligent understanding make a nation great. Such greatness is achieved only through the development and the striving of great characters. In America, our schools are one of the institutions- contributing to such development. Thus, they are essential to our national progress. Here it is that character is developed and the mind is trained. Here it is that our future citizens are molded-both those who will one day be inspiring leaders, and those who will be enlightened followers. DeVilbiss High School is but one of the many schools in our country, yet how immeasurably important it is! It must work in concert with all the other Ameri- can schoolsg together they must educate a nation and help a people to seek the truth. They must make each student recognize his importance to our country, and help him to become a responsible citizen. DeVilbiss High School has given us, the students, a foundation upon which to build. lt is for us to say how strong that edifice shall be. It is as though we have been told, Go, apply what you have learned. You have inherited the faith of a people, and with it the hope of a nation. This then is our challenge to accept. We have been shown the pathway. We will seek its termination!
