EDUCATION FOR A STRONGER AMERICA We, the students of Fordson High School, have borrowed the slogan of American Education Week for the theme of our annual because it is well worth remembering in these troubled times. nEducation for a stronger America !n In peace these words meant much to us as citizens of the United States, but now that we are at war they hold even a deeper significance. It has often been said that ueducation is the first line of defenselu Leaders, as well as the people, have come to realize that only by educating the massess can a true democracy exist. Only through education can the people of a nation learn tolerance, sportsmanship, cooperation and understanding-- qualities lacking in the agressive dictator countries today. Fordson High School has done much to teach the youth of omr community the very ideals our nation is striving for. The classrooms of Pordson are operated on a democratic basis. The students are permitted to learn a trade of their own choosing or prepare for college. They learn to respect the ideas and opinions of others. In the clubs that they join they learn to cooperate with their fellow members. On the athletic field the students learn sports- manship besides cooperation. The student government is composed of students who have a keen understanding of their fellow classmates. But, most important of all, Fordson High School is training young men and women to go out into the world and take their places in society as well- rounded, intelligent citizens. Thus, the efforts of Fordson High School and other schools of the nation are aimed at one goal-- keepingnone nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for a1l.U We know that these efforts will not be in vain. and in the class room.
