To The Students of Delavan High School The American Way of Life is being challenged. One of the principal features of that Way of Life” is our system of free public education. You can defend our system of public education by proving yourselves worthy of the investment society is making in you. Our democracy demands no repayment of money from you. It does, however, have a right to expect a better citizen, one who will perpetuate Our Way of Life” and improve the heritage that your forefathers passed on to you. You seniors will be asked to meet the present emergency in many ways. You will be called to the Colors in many ways. Some will be in defense industries, others may be nurses, and many of the boys may be in active military service. As you go about these important tasks, don't forget that your heritage from the past was purchased at a price. That price was paid in the toil and strife of hard pioneer effort and many times by the supreme sacrifice of life. The greatest traditions of American History are those founded on these sacrifices. We as faculty and citizens of Delavan have confidence in the American system of free public education. Because of this confidence we have cooperated as a community to give you educational experiences that we hope will preserve our heritage. Education, like all other worthwhile features of our lives, exacts sacrifice and struggle. However, it will have been a pleasure for our community to make these sacrifices if you meet some of our cherished expectations. Our School is not just a brick structure. It is a revered institution that has been built by the cooperative efforts of our students, faculty, and community Your contribution has been significant and we feel that you have left Delavan High School a better school as a result of your contributions. As an alumnus you will still be a part of our school and welcome to return for any help or guidance that we can give you. We have enjoyed your part in our school; we have high hopes for your future; and we expect you to meet the challenges that your future will make to you and to our Democratic Way of Life. Your success will be the joy and compensation of your faculty and your community. Yours very sincerely J. F. LUTHER
