Preside 1 ’s Address When in September we entered upon this, the last of our four years in high school, it was with pride at having at last become Seniors, and at the same time with a sense of the responsibilities which lay before us. We were happy to have Ijecome Seniors, but we knew that to make our last year a success, especially as compared with the records of previous senior classes, we must perform certain tasks creditably. During the past nine months, needless to say, we have not achieved perfection, but through cooperation among ourselves and with the faculty we have met our responsibilities with a gratifying measure of success. For my own part, I should like to thank the officers and members of the class for their cooperation in making this year a success. The four years we have spent together in High School will have a great influence on all our lives, regardless of what we do. For some, graduation marks the end of their formal education; others wall go on to more advanced schools; still others—and this forms a very large group right now—will enter the armed services, but regardless of which course is pursued, the background of our high school education will be a source of never-ending benefit to us. For the past few years, graduating classes have gone forth into the world under circumstances quite unlike those which had prevailed for some twenty years previously. We who are now finishing school face a future which is well represented by a great question mark. But whatever that future may be, one thing is certain—we are the ones who must endeavor to shape it into what it ought to be. In view of this fact, it is well to remember that a democracy is no better than its citizens. The path before us, therefore, after the wrar as well as during it, is one of duty, but it is a duty which we, as citizens in a democracy, should lx proud, rather than loathe, to undertake. Our attitude toward this duty and our ability to discharge it will have a great influence on our future, and on that of our posterity. May our answer to the challenge be that suggested by Emerson nearly a century ago, but under conditions not unlike our own: “When Duty whispers low, “Thou must,” The Youth replies, “I can. 11 JAMES CLAYTON
