9 rincipa S essage To the Class of 1945: There can be little doubt that each of you graduates has, at one time or another during your high school days, asked yourself the question: What am I going to get from my high school education, or what can this education do for me? VVorded just a little differently it can be stated: What are the dividends or the profits of a high school education-in time of war as well as in time of peace? Over and over again we hear the expression, ' these are very unusual timesf' By the continued use of these words some students are made to feel that the completion of their high school studies is not essential to keep them in tune with todayls tempo. However when the history of today's events are written, and this present emergency has passed, the worth of a high school education will appear more clearly to you. VVhen events once again follow a more peaceful pattern, the education you have worked to acquire today will help you find your place in that world. It is then you will be able to more fully comprehend what the so-called dividends of education are. As I see it, education will contribute certain fundamentals to your way of living, whether there be war or peace. Because life is becoming more complex, and because education has always been closely related to living, there is an even greater need for learning. Wllien life was more simple, the three R's were adequate, but now a broader knowledge is necessary to interpret the complexities of everyday living. Your education will help you meet these problems with confidence. Greater learning will help you be an asset, rather than a burden to society, because an educated person can direct his life and his activities in a responsible manner toward a worthwhile goal. Daily we rezfd volumes about the push-button world of tomorrow. If this condition prevails, even in part, all of you will have more leisure time on your hands than ever before. Your education should have developed certain mental resources that will enable you to use your leisure time to the fullest extent for your own growth and development. Finally, the education of you graduates can and will contribute to the educa- tional well-being of our nation. By being intelligently informed, each of you will be able to take your place in today's and tomorrow's world Where your participation and your interest in the affairs of our nation will cause our democracy to function even more effectively. It is our earnest wish that each of us responsible for your education has helped you attain these fundamental dividends or profits, and that your possession of them will help you discover the finest and the best that life can offer. Sincerely, H. K. GERLACH, Supervising Principal. Six
