We cannot pretend that there are no differences of opinion between the Major Pow- ers nor can we be willing to drift into a defeatist attitude of the acceptance of some second best solution to this problem. The fact that Russia's theory of Government and ideas of governing the conquered countries are very different from those of the democ- acies cannot be ignored. Men and women who understand this problem and are willing io study it from every angle are urgently needed. The statesmen of our generation have a great task before them. They must have patience and tolerance towards the ways of living in other countries and realize that compromises are necessary for achieving a lasting peace among the nations. Education for the masses will also play an important part in our post-war world. The people must understand what is happening in the world instead of having too much faith in the judgment of their government leaders. Dictators have been allowed to rise and gain power because the common people were uneducated and failed to realize the full meaning of what these men meant to do with their power. They have learned through bitter experience. In the future, when all nations will be bound together by such modern means of transportation and communication as the airplane and radio, it is essential that the people of America and all nations realize that we are all neigh- bors and must live and work together peacefully. It will be the duty of our generation to produce educated men and women in this country, who will in turn educate the long forsaken uneducated masses of Europe and Asia. We challenge the future, for it is our hope to establish a peace not only for this gen- eration but for every generation to come. Glad Sang May Bell .Eanq . TUNE: Just a Prayer Away The years have passed Since that first day, We started out to schoolg But now it's ending all too soon For time has slipped away, We've studied hard, and had some fun There've been some troubles, too, But they slip in the past today, The future's in view. Now our high school days are o'er, And it's time to say farewell, Memories will linger on Though we journey far away. When the days seem long The night seem dark, And when we are weary at heart, We shall think of the joys and the fun we've had, Then we'll challenge the future ahead. We are searching for a goal, We shall reach it in the end. 13
