Salulalafuf fqlice Bauman On behalf of the Senior Class of 1945 I wish to welcome you here tonight to see us take the final step of our high school education. To have you here is an inspiration, for it is through your untiring support that we have reached this milestone in our life. We go out from here tonight to ascertain what we can do best in the world. Suc- cess will not be easily gained. Only through hard work and earnest effort will we accomplish what we seek. We have learned many things in high school-not merely text material-but the rudiments that are necessary for success such as cooperation, and faith in those who work with us. The value of our education will be immeasurable. We must unite our strength and effort to attain the goal we have setg we must use our knowledge and experience to the best advantage possible. We must become creditable not only to the generation that produced us, but to our posterity. We already have a firm foundation in that we have learned to respect our fellow classmates and believe in their ideas. This fundamental success in cooperation we have had with each other will only assist us in solving the greater problems we shall meet in the future. We are drawing nearer and nearer to victory and as the final phase of the war comes within sight, the peace, too, is within our reach. We, the present generation, who are taking our place in civilization are the ones who must maintain this peace. Our education has strengthened us for this tremendous task we must perform. Many of the members of our class will soon enter the armed services to help pre- serve this ideal of free learning, and after victory, help establish the American principles of democracy. As we reminisce, the disappointments and remembrances of hardships fade leaving only happy memories of the fun we have experienced and shared with one another. These happy memories are the ones that will stay with us always. With deepest sincerity may I again welcome you here tonight. W Nana, .fed lean We, the Class of '45, challenge the future. The whole world is now engaged in a total war but our generation must look into the post-war world of tomorrow as well as do our part in helping to win this universal struggle for the rights of mankind. Our dream for the future is a peaceful world for all nations and all people. Men are fighting and dying on the battlefields of today for their dream of tomorrow. These men must not be disappointed again. It is the responsibility of every citizen of the United States to see that his dream becomes a reality. We, the citizen.s of the United States, will be the leaders of the immediate post-war world. The continents of Europe and Asia have been the battlefields of this war. Homes have been destroyed, families separated, religion and schooling rendered impossible, and the people have suffered untold hardships. Because our country has been spared this destruction, the people of these war-torn nations will look to us to give them fresh hope and courage, to help restore peace and order in their government. 12
