Dale, who: retired from the teaching pro- fession in the spring of 1942 after 53 years as a teacher in Canadian County—50 of these being spent as teacher and principal of Central Elementary School in El Reno—willing- ly and graciously answered the call to accept an assignment as special supervisor for the El Reno Schools and high schcol teacher when an urgent need for her services arose. Like Cincinnatus of old, who left his plough where it stood and hastened to Rome when his country needed him. Miss Dale left her well-earned leisure to serve the best in- terests of the young people of this community when her “draft call” came. MESSAGE TO THE GRADUATING CLASS OF 1944 The Burma Road will be opened and supplies of war will flow into China. Courageous and faithful young men of America will aid in accomplishing this formidable task. It will involve dreary and dangerous work that simply must be done before the full weight of the Allied Forces can be thrown against Japan. Men and nations cannot live well in isolation. They must be a part of an order of society or they will surely perish. Men, therefore, build roads. Tiny trails blazed through the wilderness have widened into lanes, then into thoroughfares. The iron horse came into being and rails were laid; ribbons of macadam and concrete were unwound; the skyways were born and man ceased to be exclusively a citizen of a province. Open roads are vital in war and peace. Travel and communication, breaking down barriers, uniting people, making neighbors of us all. may hasten the day when War drums throb no longer and the battle flags are furled In the Parliament of Matt, the Federation of the World. Meanwhile, the Burma Road must be opened; other closed roads must be cleared of rubbish. The lanes con- necting the common mind of humanity must be straightened. Our minds and consciences must be free of stoppage caused by doubt and fear and by lack of faith in the future. All Burma Roads blocked by worldliness, selfishness, and greed must be opened. In this crusade for humanity’s betterment, America will play a vital role, and your duty is clear. Not only will you share in the physical tasks of the hour, but you will likewise have a part in the spiritual advancement that is inevitable if the enslaved of earth are to be released from bondage and other generations are to be saved from the blight of war. Go forward with faith in God, with hope for tomorrow, with splendid dreams of a brighter future for all those who love the right and with a steadfast resolution to do well your part in the mighty drama now unfolding. PAUL R. TAYLOR Superintendent of Schools
