ad we ad in rinci e... 'ZTIT1 my jar x .W EMOCRACY-Tour clearly ringing syllables ex- pressive oT all The ideals Toward which we have aspired aT ForesT Park High School! Democ- racy chosen as The Theme oT our FORESTER ! Dur- ing The Tew years oT our high school liTe, we have noT only learned buT also pracTiced Those democraTic principles revered and respecTed by The Americas. We have come To realize Through parTicipaTion in sTudenT governmenT The imporTance oT abiding by The rule of The maioriTy and sTill respecTing The righTs of The minoriTy. We have recognized our responsibiliTies Toward our Tellow men, and have Taken sTeps in preparaTion Tor The day when we shall assume Those responsibiliTies.' When we en- Tered ForesT Park, democracy To mosT oT us was iusT a word. BUT, aTTer Three years oT waTching naTions crumble, and individuals lose Their privileges and Their lives because They TorgoT ThaT democracy is noT a giTT buT a challenge, we have come To ap- preciaTe The real meaning of The words l live in a -democracy. We realize now ThaT DesTiny, in The Torm of crisis, has ThrusT inTo our hands responsi- biliTies never dreamed oT by our predecessors. We go TorTh wiTh The knowledge ThaT we shall soon be called upon To serve our naTion. BUT looking back upon our years beneoTh The Tower, we see how we have been prepared Tor iusT such an evenTualiTy. ln a Trim, low-slung shop building, we have labored hard over mechanical, elecTrical, and indusTrial problems. We have worked wiTh drill presses, milling machines, power laThes, T-squares, and The Thousand and one oTher gadgeTs which go To make up a pro- ducTion line. Through sTenography, Typing, mimeo- graphing, we have prepared ourselves Tor The busi- ness oTTice. ln academic classrooms, we have discussed The problems aT ciTy, sTaTe, and naTion, which, in Time, we shall be called upon To solve. ln maTh rooms, we have gained The basis oT an engi- neering educaTion: in chemisTry and physics labs, we have acquired The scienTiTic viewpoinT. Every day in all ways, we worked, Talked, sTudied, and played wiTh The summer oT l942 in mind. Soon The members oT The June Class ol l942 will be hard aT work in Their chosen lines. BUT wheTher iT be in an ivy-draped college, sleek new TighTing ship, or grimy bomber producTion line, we shall keep sTeadTasT in our minds The ideal which has been The Theme aT our lives aT ForesT Park-Democracy.
