I l l l l l To THE MEMBERS on THE SENIOR CLASS or 1946: l Despite the wail and all its attendant evils, your lot has been most fortunate. Your rights as free American citize s have been safeguarded at terrific cost in life and treasure. You have been permitted to enjoy ll the traditional advantages that our free society affords its youth. You still live in a land of libe ty, of plenty, and of opportunity. Let us hope that a long period of peace lies ahead, in which you! may make the most of yourselves, to grow in breadth of mind, in generosity of spirit, in service to your fellowmen, free of intolerance and selfish self-seeking. l For millions of oys and girls who inhabit other parts of the globe, these opportunities simply do not exist. The halrd task, merely to keep alive, to glean the basic necessities of food, clothing, shelter, and medicinis, consumes all their energies and precludes concern for the noble things of life. Many border onl abject despair. l These victims of war, famine, and pestilence are something more to us than items in the daily press. In the new atomic age, as never before, man cannot afford to live to himself alone. Every human instinct warnb us that we cannot pass by on the other side . For in the long run, we shall all sink or swim togeliher. The need of the hour demands men and women of action, of reason, of faith, and of vision. We must draw fromithe wellsprings of our American heritage to make our nation strongg strong in a leadership that will bind up the wounds of a stricken world and make peace and loving- kindness a reality. l To that end y0lil have been educated. To that end may you be dedicated. The best wishes of your parents and teaphers go with you as, with high hope and courage, you enter upon the road of responsible citizenshfp. l l Sincerely yours, l l l I' . -H319
