O'ZEOD'O'Z Because the students of the Dundee Community High School come from four towns built on the banks of the Fox River, and because it is the purpose of our year book to present a panoramic view of the school and its activi- ties, We, the class of 1938, have chosen as our theme the beautiful Fox River.

To Our Seniors: May I commend you on your achievement thus far, but more particularly congratulate you on the rich heri- tage with which you are naturally endowed, the superior advantages and the incomparable opportunities that are yours for the future. Fortune has given you parents that believe in their childrens' well beingg your community has provided a superior school with a diversified program and a choice of fine churches for a sound, stimulating philosophy of life. It is your good fortune to be a natural citizen of the world's most favored nation. Here true democ- racy reigns supreme, unbound by class or creed. Every man is really the maker of his own clestinyg actually the master of his own soul. Yours is a rich heritage. Yours is a great opportunity.

To revert the primitive labor and a simple machineless, motionless society is unthinkable. We must not degenerateg we must adapt ourselves to a continu- ously increasing complex and interdependent society. YOU must face forward, think, and solve-not fail, falter, and subterfuge. Yours is a great opportuinty. Yours is a grave responsibility. Capital and labor must be made to realize their mutual dependenceg that one can succeed only on the success of the other. Con- flict carried on for centuries must be changed to close cooperation and sympathetic helpfulness. Nations must be taught to lives in peace and harmony and men must learn to live in Christian brotherhood. Most of our hope for these lies beyond our generation, yours is a grave responsibility. Surely, with your priceless heritage and your unparalleled opportunity you will accept the full measure of responsibility that is yoursg you must not, you will not fail. sung, and the mightiest novel remains to be written.
