ll My PRESIDENTS ADDRESS In behalf of the Class of 1943, I most cor- dially extend our heartiest greetings to you our parents and friends. Having reached this goal which is of course but a milestone in the life which lies ahead of us, we pause to pay tribute to those who have made possible this commencement week. We are deeply indebted to the faculty and the Board of Education for their patient guidance and careful planning. Above all, we are exceeding- ly grateful to our parents whose insight and understanding kept many of us in school when we may have wished to drop out and go to work, join a branch of the armed forces or some such similar action. We may have grumbled and complained a bit along the way, but now when we can look back over our school years, we would not exchange them for anything. The Class of '43 is faced with one of the most perplexing problems that has ever con- fronted a graduating class, That is the prob- lem of our future educational training. The girls, of course, may continue their education just as prior to the war. In fact, it is impera- tive to the war effort that the girls do attend college. Manpower Commissioner Paul V. Mc- Nutt says that 65,000 young women must enter schools of nursing between June 1943 and July 1944 in order to meet the civilian and military needs. The fields of science and engineering are also open to women. Girls who excel in mathematics and science are well fitted for these professions. Their problem, then, is not one of limitation, -but rather one of deciding whether they should continue along these paths of fu- ture preparation, or should enter at once into the immediate fields of the war industries' or of the armed forces. Both are vital and the rightldecision undoubtedly lies with the indi- V1 ua . The problem which the boys face is even more confused and indeterminate, Many of the boys have already registered for selective service. Others will be eighteen before the summer is over, and will probably be drafted next fall. It is a very small minority of the boys in the class who will be eighteen after December of 1943. Some of these boys' could enter college for the summer term. With the present ac- celerated courses of study offered by the col- leges and universities, a boy might be able to finish two semesters by the end of the present year, However, no college or university will give a student the assurance that he will be permitted to finish a second semester. Many of the boys from las-t year's class did not do so. Only a few of the boys who did not attend col- lege are still in town and but a few who went to college are still there. All of this latter group say the same thing, It's no use going to college. It's just a waste of money. If this is true, then we can readily see that for most of us there isn't much chance of trying to continue our education along the normal pat- tern. For us who are either in the draft age or are near to it, there is but one course. As soon as we are inducted into the service, we can try to enter one of the many branches of specialized training offered by both the Army and Navy. There we can gain much in tech- nical skill and training. In the meantime both girls and boys can find things to do, Every one of us can pitch in and help defeat those, who by their greed and sel- fishness have disrupted the peaceful mode of living in all civilized nations. There are hun- dreds of ways we can do our bit toward win- ning the war. If we believe in our democracy and our American way of living, we must fight to keep them. In this task we shall not fail. -WILLIAM GRAY CLASS HISTCRY-STATISTICS The Class of 1943 continues' the custom of presenting something of the historical and sta- tistical background of the group, From an analysis of these facts and figures-, we hope to ascertain the trends of our community, and the resulting needs. This is the democratic ap- proach to the planning of an educational curri- culum. Since education and democracy have grown and developed together, it is now more vital than ever before that we should follow democratic procedures in determining our edu- cational policies. This class had its beginning as a unified group in Septembe1', 1930, when 157 were en- rolled in the kindergarten. Out of the 110 who are graduating in the class, 70 per cent are products of the Ishpeming Public School Sys- tem, the other 30' per cent having attended other schools at one time or another. According to Webster's Fifth Edition Diction- ary, the word education implies not only teach- ing, but also discipline and breeding. When we think of breeding we think of home back- ground, Delving into this, we find that either one or both of the parents of 41 students were born in foreign lands. This accounts for the fact that 15 per cent spoke no English at home prior to entering school. Today, after twelve or thirteen years of schooling, this is true in only a few cases. The English strain predom- inates in our class, with the other nationalities ranking in the following order: Finnish, Swed- ish, Italian, French, Norwegian, German, Irish, Danish, Greek, Scotch, and Austrian. The parents of 60 of the students' are of the same nationality. About 1 in 8 has only one parent living, 8 having lost their mothers and 10 having lost their fathers. Divorce is not common. In spite of the fact that there are numerous jobs' open to women at this time, only 12' of the mothers are working at full time 'obs. - J Many of our families were represented in the last war. The fathers of 30 seniors served in that war, and at the present time, only 1 fath- er is in active service, Forty-two fathers are registered for the draft. Thirty-seven members of the class have brothers serving at the pres- ent time, with a total of 47 brothers. It has long been the consensus of opinion Page Twenty-Three
