FOREWORD We have tried to make the contents of this book compen- sate in some measure for sac- rifices in quality of material caused by the war. As the years roll on, we, who are now students, will find our- selves scattered over the four corners of the world. It is hoped that this book will hold us together in spirit, however far apart we may be. May the fond memories recalled from a familiar scenes of our school- days bring happiness to all.

cee are ee Tats Rc ats To the Graduates of 1945: As you graduate, we are reaching what we hope and believe to be the final stages of the European phase of the World War. What significance has this for you? | believe that aside from the return of loved ones the end of the war will affect you chiefly in three ways. It will affect you (1) from the standpoint of getting and keeping a job; (2) as a test of the breadth and depth of your tolerance and social-mindedness; and (3) asa gauge of your under- standing of what true freedom means. From the standpoint of getting and holding a job the end of the war means to you un- limited and formidable competition. Millions of men will be released and will return home. These men have been intensively trained along one or more lines, chiefly mechanical or tech- nological. You will have to be good to meet this competition. You will have to be dependable and responsible and industrious as well as capable.« “When you find the competition for jobs keen, what will be your attitude? Will you be a good sport and try to build up your ability to meet it? Or will you whine and blame the minorities in this country, as the Germans did? In other words, is your tolerance and social- mindedness more than a thin veneer? Do you recognize the fact that ALL men have rights equal to yours? Do you know what freedom is? Some one has said, ““My freedom ends where the other fellow’s nose begins.’’ In other words, your freedom ends when the exercise of that freedom is harmful to someone else. You must always protect your freedom. We have fought all of our wars in protection of our freedom— it is never permanently safe. It can be destroyed in this country by too long continuance of necessary war-time restrictions. It can be destroyed by too great a centraliza- tion of power. It can be destroyed by the disturbance of ‘balance of power resulting from the three-fold character of our national government. The legislative, the judicial and the executive powers must be preserved intact—they must not be merged. You as a citizen must do your share to preserve them as separate things each a check on the others. Much responsi- bility lies before you. | hope you are capable of meeting it. L. TOD MOTLEY, Principal. ‘ s idacieeanilliatieiemnaeil ae ST AT a acereomremnsges TES
