ef y ffve ' nWE FINISH T0 BEGINU We feel that no class ever chose a more fitting motto than, 'We Finish to Beginn. We consider it a'privi1ege to be American boys and girls and to he graduating into this great land of ours to begin. In many ways it may seem unfortunate to be thrust in- to a world full of trouble and war, but something good is hound to come out of this great conflict and some of us may some day'be proud we had a hand in it, We are called upon to get down to business more quickly, eperhaos, than graduates of other years, because of the serious situation we find ourselves in. So we must he more earnest and sincere in our beginning of this new life for us in one of the most exciting and revolutionary eras of all history. - I' The boys and girls of America are tough, loyal and hopeful. They have already proved that they believe that this is a good country and one worth fighting for. Certainly then they must have faith in the future. ' There must be faith--incessant faith in and devotion to the Christian principles 'on which this coun- try was founded. United States today is the oldest and greatest remaining monument to the principles of freedom and individual- ism and Christianity. It is our first duty to keep it so. Our first job now is to help put democracy back on its feet and then to see to it that it stays there. ' ' America has for generations been a land of opportunity. It is sun a land of opportunity. Lincenmsteffins has sa1a, Netn- ing is done finally and right. Nothing is known positively and completelyn. What could he more encouraging? The world is ours full of all sorts of things to find out and do, or do over and do right. ' We have. not now and never have had in the history of the world a good government. There is not now and never has been a perfectly run railroad, school, newspaper, bank, theater, fac- tory, or grocery store. The best picture has not yet been paint- edg the greatest poem.is still unsungg the divinest music has not been conceived even by Bach. Let us, the graduates of Gilman High, 1944 go forward from our course finished at Gilman with the realization that there are opportunities, millions of jobs, for all of us. Let us a- dopt George Washington Carver's philosophy of: Vstart where you are, with what you have, make something of it, never be satis- fied.n This formula can work for any of us anywhere.
