FREEDOM Our ideas and ideals survive us far longer than our wealth and possessions. The great buildings of Greece and Rome have disappeared from the face of the earth or are in ruins, but the philosophies of Aristotle, Plato and Socrates still hold sway wherever men gather for intelligent conversation and debate. The price of freedom is high. Freedom is not a goal to be achieved nor is it a haven of rest for the weary. We cannot ride to it in luxury and ease; we cannot relax and enjoy it. Its rewards are those of a difficult task accomplished, a battle won, the at- taining of a peak after traversing difficult and risky terrain. It is the rest of a peaceful mind and weary body after a job well and conscientiously done. Freedom is for strong, willing, courageous and fear- less men, secure in their convictions. The forces of darkness are joining hands on every side against everything for which freedom stands, If we are to hold onto this freedom, we need to enter into the battle with all our enthusiasm, and all our heart, realizing what infinite honor it is to be living and engaged in the battle today. cnlt? Ob: SUCCESSFUL LIVING Theodore Roosevelt once pointed out to a group of students at graduation exercises that everyone has a dual character of obligation in life. First you must be efficient and next, and equally, you have to be decent and straight. The one thing that must be avoided is a division of our people in to two camps: first, the camp of those who know and can do things, but who do them crookedly and, second, the camp of those who have excellent purposes but no power to achieve them. Success in our changing and stormy world is de- pendent upon citizens who possess these qualities of efficiency and integrity. There is also a need for nonconformity mixed with vision, sincerity, confi- dence, and the willingness and ability to cooperate wholeheartedly with others. Seniors, your future is not an easy one, but a changing and challenging one. The greater the chal- lenge, the greater the success which results in a greater and more dynamic individual. There is no easy road to true success, but hard, well planned, and organized work. Plan well, work hard, and form the habit of open-mindedness — of never being content to think and work the way we thought and worked yesterday or last month or last year. Be creative, think for yourself, but be thorough in your thinking and constructive in your conclusions. SAYA 19
