l w t Prineipalas Message Members of the Graduating Class: - Twenty-five years ago the United States of America participated in World War I to make the world safe for democracy. Now this same nation is actively participating in World War Ilg this time to save democracy, to save the democratic institutions of the United States, and perhaps even to save the United Sates itself as a nation among nations. Since the conclusion of the last war, peace at almost any price was the desired aim of our governmental and educational groups. ln spite of all this planning for peace certain nations have again plunged the world into catastrophe. We realize now that a decent peace can be obtained only through conquest and maintained by force. We know that there can be no peace in our time or in our children's time until totali- tarianism is brought completely under the heel. We must develop and keep alive a spirited and militant democratic tradition which rejects peace at any price other than the complete suppression of the forces that now challenge everything that makes life in America worth while. Every aspect of our lives must be directed toward one aim- the conquest of the forces that threaten Democracy. If we wish to survive-and we do-we must understand our own political ideal, the political ideal of other nations, the effect of the impact of antagonistic ideals, and the plans of other nations to impose their ideals upon us. We must understand what other nations can do and will do to secure domination, and we must prepare and un- dergo specific training to sustain the individual and the nation, Unless we pay the cost to perpetuate democracy-we shall pay the cost of its defeat. In either case we pay. Members of the Class of 1942: I hope that your Alma Mater has not failed in the task of training you to be alert, sincere, and loyal Americans. I hope that you have learned how to face issues squarely and courageously. Your country needs men and women now, who will work and fight to preserve all that we cherish. Do not fail her in this hour of need. Sincerely, M. E. ILLICK. eleven
