,,,,,,,,...........--N---+M- CLASS OF Tl-IE I-lALF-CENTURY So much wealth has been amassed in our nation by the hard worlc, sweat, suffering, daring. study. ingenuity, and sticlc-to-itive- ness of your forefathers that you are wealthy. Just to be a free American citizen is an opportunity craved by millions of the people of the world. We are in fact so materially well off that we must guard against the softness of body and purpose which often comes with a life of ease. You must set standards of achieve- ment, ph sically and mentally, which will force you to worlc to your fullest capacity. There is happiness in that lcind of a life. Your country faces an unprecedented international crisis. You must help answer such questions: Shall there be a world gov- ernment with an all-powerful army?: Shall there be two or more wholly different ideol- ogies and forms of government existing side by side?q Can war be eliminated as a politi- cal weapon? You must prepare yourself to be big enough to help America answer these questions-on time-and correctly. A. P. BELEAL Qistrict Superintendent. arrears.
