S uperintende11t's lxlessage Another Senior Class is graduating' during a perilous period of our nation's life. Perhaps the greatest test of all time lies immediately before us. Whether the ideology of democracy so cherished by our western civili- zation can fend off the totalitarian ideology of communism is that test. All of your home, school and religious training have been channeled to the one end that you help preserve that most cherished of possessions, the democratic form of life. As with every group today that assumes the responsibilities of adult life, the classes of 1951 have a clearer and greater responsibility than ever. Prirlcipars blessage In times such as these, it sometimes seems that we should discard the ideals and principles we have considered to be of permanent value in the past. The conditions of the world today have given students and adults a feeling of uneasiness and insecurity g and has undermined our faith in the future. This feeling generates a disregard for the more permanent values of life. However, we need now, more than ever before, citizens with a faith in the future and a firm belief in the ideals and principles on which our so- ciety was founded. Moral, intellectual, and spiritual integrity, loyalty to oneself and associates, a sense of responsibility, and a belief in the value of hard work, are all values which will never go out of style . Young people who believe in the future and are willing to follow the accepted guideposts will realize a fuller life than those of any previous generation. It is hoped that the school has had some measure of success in pre- paring the students for the future by helping them develop the traits, and ideals, and skills necessary to cope with the world of today. Remember that the world does have a future and that the future belongs to those who prepare for it.
