To the class of 1947: It is a privilege to live in a nation built by persons of all creeds, classes, and nationalities and to enjoy the opportunities offered by it. This is true, especially, concerning our public schools. One reason for our country’s greatness is the fact that it was founded upon the principle that men are created equal. During the last war, men of all creeds, classes and nationalities served, fought, and died side by side that our country might continue to be a land of opportunity. These men served for a common cause and respected and protected the rights of others. Tolerance was no problem for them. It just came naturally. Your high school life has provided valuable experience in working and serving with your associates. This same spirit will become a part of your life whether you go to college, into business, or into any other field of your choice. May you continue this respect for others and may you uphold the principles of democracy which will live to keep our nation strong and great. It is a great pleasure for me to extend to each one of you my sincere congratulations upon your graduation. May you keep strong and steadfast that your future may be one of much success and abundant happiness. E. H. LeBARRON, Superintendent

To the class of 1947: The practice of world brotherhood today stands as the only hope for universal peace. The strength of our country rests in the fact that people of different races and creeds have learned to live together as Americans. But if we are honest with ourselves we know that intolerance exists. To live by the golden rule and the brotherhood of man; to spread intelligence and understanding; to give an honest day’s work for an honest day’s pay; to make the most of one’s self and to work for the good of all ,should be the goal for every true American boy and girl in the Class of 47. The thought expressed in Herman Horne’s last verse of America recently written should be the prayer of all of us— Father of every race, Giver of every grace, Hear as we pray: Let every land be free. May all men brothers be, All nations honor Thee Now and for aye. MABEL R. FARLEY, Principal.
