Lorenzo H. Haich Principal Sluclenls of Granile l-ligh School: A sound philosophy of governmenl musl adhere +o +he principles embodied in lhe Declaralion oi Independence and guaranlee life, liberfy, and lhe pursuil oi happiness. There can be no al+ernalive: hence every man is enlilled 'ro live from rhe fruils of his labors. An opporluniry lo labor rnus'r be provided for him in order lhal he may enioy l'he freedom lhal is his righl of inherilance. Claim lo such priv- ileges should imply an inlelligenl underslanding of righfs and a willingness lo assume obligalions. These ideals are nol new: rhey represenl Jrhe lhinlcing of This people over a period of a cenlury and a half: yel, owing 'ro rhe complexily oi our problems, fhe opporlunily for leadership was never grealer lhan il is al presenl. Disappoinlmenls Jrhal have exrended over rhe pasl four years have lell many people discouraged bul willing +o follow any promise oi a way our. Our grealesl hope for iulure slabilily in governmenl will lie in our power lo malce of every cilizen a sludenr of social condilions and lo modify his rhinlcing so rhal rhe besl in our presenl social order will be preserved for Jrhe good oi Jrhis generafion and olhers lo follow.

You as an individual may undersfand and know economic, polilical, and social laws, buf may noi be free because oi preiudice oi your fellows, because of bigorry, because of desporism, because you laclc means, because social cusioms and ins+i+u+ions may have been crysialized in wrong forms. Bui if ye in ihe plural sense lcnow ihe irufh and live according io- ii, fhe irulh will malce you polilical, economic, and moral living.
