TO THE CLASS OF 1945 Gloom still overshadows most of the world because of the ravages of war. Lives and resources have been sacrihced to retain our democratic way of life. In time possibly most of the material things will be re- placed. This cannot be true of the lost lives, the maimed bodies, and the warped minds. The survival of civilization is dependent upon mak- ing war impossible in the future. Ir will call for many sacrifices. Ir will demand clear thinking. Here as in war there can be no slackers. Everyone must give his best. Everyone has something to contribute toward making his community, his nation, his world a better place. Wliat will be your contribution? X L. C.
