7- -1 PRESIDENTS ADDRESS On behalf of the Class of 1941, I welcome you to our Class Night exercises. I am sure that to the members of the class this occasion is one of high significance. It is the first real step in attaining that goal which has been up- permost in our minds. Almost always when a person has achieved success, he can look back and see that many have assisted him. I take this opportunity to thank the faculty, administration, friends, and parents who have been so kind and sincere in their guidance, helping us to achieve a certain measure of success. Soon we, the Class of 1941, shall be enter- ing a sphere much larger than the one We are leaving. We shall go forth into new territory seeking that which is fine and righteous. What is there for us? What can we do? Is there a place for each of us? These are a few of the questions which rise before us. We are entering this sphere at a time when democracy is truly on trial. It is a time when diflicult decisions must be made. Our future depends upon these decisions being made cor- rectly. It is a time when alertness and stead- fastness become essential virtues. Indifference or selfishness can not be allowed to interfere. Sacrifices will have to be made that We may preserve democracy as our way of life. You as well as I know that now as never be- fore industry is having a great boom. Every kind of worker is needed from skilled machin- ist to the laborer doing the simplest task. VVe are fortunate. Inasmuch as there is this need of workers we have a fair chance to en- ter into some field that will give us a living wage. But what does history show? Wars have their booms and good-time periods, but after the war is over and industry slackens, we know that we shall have to face a time of depressing situations. What will keep human spirits high? To what kind of leadership shall we respond? These are questions of great im- portance. The youth of America will help either to make or break the fine democracy which we have. We shall not be the first to face such a sit- uation. It has been faced many times before. In 1800 William Pitt said, There is scarcely anything around us but ruin and despair, and the following year Thomas Jefferson in a mo- ment of despair said that the enemies of civ- ilization were about to destroy every- trace of civilization in the world and force mankind back into a savage state. Yet in due time We conquered the situation and went forward. We have accomplished much since those statements were made 140 year ago, for our ancestors would not accept defeatg they faced the facts unafraid with vision and courage. During- the panic of 1837 people were Wont to say that there was no hope for things ever to be as satisfactory as they had been. Longfellow an- swered with The Psalm of Life which opened with the stanza: Tell me not, in mournful numbers, Life is but an empty dreaml- For the soul is dead that slumbers, And things are not what they seem. and closed with the words: Let us then, be up and doing With a heart for any fateg Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait. We, too, shall face the days that are ahead with faith in the future. Some of us will be aided by having had a college education, but we who do not receive this training should not try to avoid the responsibility which is ours. VVe must be willing to take up some of the responsibility which is on your hands. We do Want to help to see this present-day situation through to the end. We ask that you accept that we are no longer children, that you give us some of the burden, In doing so you will strengthen us in the faith in which you are working. We are future citizens, and to some extent our start in social activities is depend- ent upon what you give us to do and how you receive us in this world of turmoil. The Class of 1941 sits before you 120 strong. Through the thirteen years many friendships have been established. Soon we are to part, each to go his separate way-some to college, some to work, some to the army or navy. Re- gardless of where we go we shall never forget these last few nights of being united as one great working organ. We are happy to have you with us. We Welcome you to our Class Night exercises. -CREIGHTON AMELI. CLASS HISTORY-STATISTICS In considering the history and other vital facts about this class it would probably be well to go back to our educational beginnings. In many respects we are among the more favored of those classes graduating during the last dec- ade. Our education began just before the great depression: Sixty-four out of the 111 of the class for whom information is available entered school in 1928, 22 in 1927, and 15 in 1929. The remaining 10 for one reason or another have had more marked interruptions of their educational careers, Thus We entered school just before the depression, lived most of our educational careers too young to real- ly understand it, and find ourselves now en- tering a world unusually ready to receive us. That is not to say that there are no difficulties or troublesome times ahead for us. We need only to look at the front pages of the daily 4 l papers Csocial science department please notej, to be aware of that. It is rather interesting and somewhat sur- prising to find how varied the educational back- grounds of the members of this class have been, particularly in the sources of their elementary education. Almost one-half the class, 47 per cent to be exact, have attended schools other than the Ishpeming public schools, and only 53 per cent, are entirely a product of the public school system. While these diverse preparatory backgrounds present problems to the high school authorities, yet the practice inaugurated in re- cent years of holding conferences at outlying schools with prospective students has resulted in a more complete understanding of the stu- dent and his individual needs. The home backgrounds play an important part in the educational process, and these also Page Twenty-Seven
