To THE CLASS or Ii94I2 You set forth from school in stirring time. Life, in the next few years, will be neither tranquil nor certain. World-sluaking events that are shattering European civilization will not leave you unaffected. The school venerations than immediatel receded ou faced an m Y P Y economic situation that offered them little hope. That situation has chan ed. Toda , our countr is callin for men and women, for bo s g Y Y Y g Y and girls, to give their energy and their brains to the great task of Preparation for the defense of all that we hold dear. I am sure you will not be found wanting. As you go about the business of adapting yourselves to new con- ditions, it is my earnest hope that you will never be unmindful of the rich heritage that is yours. American democracy has given you an education under freedom. It has given you a chance to think and to evaluate. Within the framework of true liberty, no one can fetter the mind, the heart, or the conscience. Your loyalties are freely given. Whatever the future may hold in store, it is ufor us, the livingn to dedicate ourselves to the task of Preserving, perpetuating and improving our democratic institutions. ln this, as in the other, I m sure you will not be found wanting. Sincerely yours, 0 ' 0
