 President’s Message Dear Graduates: The hours remaining for us at East High are rapidly slipping past, as we prepare to leave these corridors for the last time. Before we part, however, let us look back —look back to yesterday, for such it seems, when we entered these halls and began our high school life. We were facing a new and fascinating era in our lives. In the text books we discovered secret s of knowledge, and in the laboratories we explored the mysteries of nature. We learned to make friends in the classroom and on the athletic field. We laughed and played together in our leisure hours. We were building our minds, our bodies, our characters. But while we concentrated on our studies, and made our friendships, the world around us was recovering from a great war. It was wounded and bleeding badly. It tried to rise but was unable to help itself. It needed strength, great strength, to pull itself together. But where was it going to get that strength? Recovery would take time and work. There was only one source, and that was youth. We were to be that strength. Today we leave East High School, where we have worked as one class for three years, and from now on we shall play our parts in the healing of our universe. We shall help in different ways; some will be leaders, and others, followers, but together we must form the greatest working team in history. Together we will be the source of the nation’s energy, and together we must try to lift this stricken world to its feet, help it to begin anew its industries, and return it to some degree of normalcy. This task is the greatest challenge that could confront us, and we cannot, we must not, for the sake of mankind, be indifferent to it. Then, someday, we can stand and look in retrospect at the new world and be proud — because we helped to make it possible. —Brendan Gilbane
