TO THE CLASS OF ’45: First among the values which society passes on to the youths through the schools is a love of country and a willingness to de- fend it with life, if need be. It is our hope that the members of the class of '45 will seek and find many opportunities to serve our nation and our community, re- membering that small acts, when multiplied many times, may save lives, relieve suffering, and hasten the hour of victory. You must continue to maintain a strong and intelligent loyalty to the principles for which this nation is fighting. We expect you to take your places in the front-line trenches of peacetime rehabilita- tion, and to help solve the problems that a war-torn and bleeding world will present. While intellectual development is of high importance, yet we are learning through our present life-and-death struggle that, without moral and spiritual growth in the hearts and minds of men, knowledge is not an unalloyed blessing. May God speed the day when the youth of America will be able to prove to a sad and suf- fering world its ability to bind the gaping wounds and re-establish broken down human- ity into happy and constructive citizens for God and country. Together, we face the future with confidence. MABEL R. FARLEY, Principal TO THE CLASS OF 1945: Congratulations upon your achievements and best wishes to all of you for a successful future. Your Commencement is the fourth since Pearl Harbor and is undoubtedly one with the brightest future of any Class to be graduated from Hicksville High School. The past four years have taught us many things paramount to our well being and suc- cess. Not the least is the value and importance of work. We must adapt ourselves to a World filled with happiness, sorrow and disorder. Probably one of the essential qualities of success is the ability to work throu gh many distractions. You have learned by now that good things often come slowly but perseverance and pa- tience will win. So, in life, ever keep in mind the value of work and be ready and will- ing to do the task at hand. Now, and in the future, the World wants men and women who can do. As you face the future, let me urge you to give attention to further education. In the Post-War period, the well trained person will be given preference when it comes to securing responsibile positions. E. H. LeBARRON Superintendent
