Young people in sehool training' the intellect must 1'ealize that they are in the labor reserve. Our gov- ernment is interested in these funda- mental objectives. Our pupils should get all possible training before joining up. 'I'wiee as many high school graduates are neoessary now. Six times as many engin- eers are needed. Education is the back- bone of the armed forces. The ultimate power of our nation is in its trained re- serves. Lieutenant General Somervell says. Total war is waged in every class- room. ' ' flreat as may be the need of Seientifle attainment in every field, there is even greater need of moral responsibility. Pupils must not only know how to do things. but constantly insist on doing them right. lndustry is bidding for the serviees of pupils not available to the armed forces. These pupils must grow in-Qlividually, keeping foremost in their minds the real objective. winning the war and the peaee to come. Our boys will be men, even before the enrtain falls on this 194-l commence- ment, many will be direetly connected with the army and navy. That High School education will play a role of world wide importanee. Traveling to all eorners of the globe. you will be recog- nized by your previous training. lt is your duty to realize the importance of aeeepting your responsibilities. Do not wait until tomorrow. do it now.

Chief Executives Mr. F. C. Gillespie Superintendent of Schools SPONSOIl The Senior Class of 1944 are the pioneers in a new manner of living. The how of the future will be an admixture of pre-1944 and post-You. Your re- ligion, your morals and the laws of your country will remain essentially the same. These you will keep tucked back of, not in, mind, because from that vantage point these three constituents may better oversee your reaction to things they come. Yours will be the language of post-war planning, of scientific discovery, of econ- omic responsibility. Your world will have shrunk in point ot' travel to half its present size. There will be new fields of endeavor for you to enter because of that reduced size. It is your new world of spiritual adventure. Already you are feeling its impact, casually and imperceptibly, of course, because at seventeen you are beginning to wonder why these subtle changes are taking place. But live mil- lion men and women returning from the world's four corners will have a new horizon not bounded by their old back yard of pre-1944. Sure, you 'll like the good old American meals, movies, and manners, but you 'll like them because you think they 're better than any other things on earth. But you will have learned that other people have lived and learned to like their own household goods, too. These will be your problems. The farther pastures look greener only until you get back home. Yours will be a world background fashioned by the widest experience of all generations. Because this generation has been tough with you, all the better will you be able to take what your generation smacks down in front of you. Those who can take it. usually get it. And you. the Class of 1944 have got what it takes. Ten
