The American flag is the symbol of our country. It embodies the hardships suffered at Plymouth, the battles of the Revolution, the writing of our Constitution, the efforts of our soldiers and statesmen-in truth, all factors which have made America great. Everything that man has put into our country to make it what it is today-the ideal of democracy -is part of our flag. It is with these thoughts in mind that the Class of 1944 presents two American flags to the school for the use of our band. Since its organization, the band has had the use of the Ishpeming Industrial Associationis Page Twenty-Eight flags. Through this courtesy the band has al- ways appeared with the colors. 'This gift will make it possible for the band to have its Own flags in concert and on parade. VVhen you see these flags passing b '11 not think of the Class of 1944. You xilslvou W1 b- uably think of the flagis beauty and of whatpnijen and women of the past have done to uphold its honor .and glory. We of the Class of 1944 will see this too but we shall al ' , so see our attempt to thank the school fornuglliiieitflgiz done for us and to show our appreciation for all the advantages We have had during these four important years. -CHARLES ALLEN

SALUTATCRY LIVING AS AN ART We, the class of 1944, bid you welcome to our commencement program. We deeply appreciate your interest in us and your contributions which enabled us to live joyously during our school years. Today we are living in a world which is Challenging as well as menacing our democratic forms of government, our social structures, and even the ideals on which nations are founded. From 'all parts of the globe come stories of un- told suffering and tragic loss. Cities ape being bombedi b0th young and old are deprived of food and shelter, millions are being robbed of their freedoms. Also from every corner of the United States emanate tales of horror perpetrated against society. In the face of this conflict and unparallel crisis we ask, Is it possible to live J0y0usly in such a turbulent world? Can one lead a full, worthwhile life? To answer these questions in the affirmative dePem?S.Wh0uY upon us as individuals, for it 'is OUI' privilege and responsibilityto chart our own courses of life. Often we will be threatened by Imminent dangers and dire disasters, but being guided by our ideals and the proper attitudes in- stilled within us since childhood we can keep our ship' onuits course and steer straight toward our destination, a happy, joyous life. We must be like Pilgrims, striving for our goal, as Lowell states: New occasions teach new duties, yTime makes ancient good uncouthg They must upward still and onward, who would keep abreast of Truth. Lo, before us gleam her campfires! We ourselves must Pilgrims be, Launch our Mayflower, and steer boldly through the desperate winter sea, Nor attempt the Future's portal with the Past's blood-rusted key, Happiness, we are told, is the state of pleas- urable content of mind which results from suc- cess or the attainment of what is considered good . This makes clear that happiness is a by- product of other actions. It cannot be obtained by seeking it directly. J. Petit-Senn states, Happiness is where we find it, but very rarely where we seek it . 'Maeterlinck realized this in his story, 'tThe Bluebird , in which happiness is personified as a bluebird, forever luring the chil- dren onward. After returning from their wan- dering in far distant ,lands in search of the elusive bird, they are surprised and delighted to find joy and contentment within their own home. Poets also believe that the search for beauty and truth is one of the aims of living, as Buchanan states so aptly: 'tBeauty and Truth, though never found, are worthy to be sought. The Constitution of the United States declares, Every citizen has the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness . Here happiness is inter- preted as a quest, a goal set up as an end, unable to be reached through fleeting sensory experi- ences, considered the true source of happiness by the majority of people today. Instead, we must strive for this end by enriching our lives with permanent and pure values. This is a serious adventure, for grave is all beauty and solemn is joy. Philosophers and poets claim that we are made for pleasure and that the world is over- flowing with beauty to be enjoyed. Since there is blessedness surrounding us, should we not look for this happiness? Should not this be the pur- pose and the goal of living? Unfortunately ob- stacles will impede our quest, for insincerity, bigotry, and fraud cause us to sacrifice no small portion of pleasure. After discovering the true source of happiness we must build enduring foundations of thought and skill, so cogently ex- pressed by Walton: How happy is he, born and taught, Who serveth not another's willy Whose armor is his honest thought And simple truth his utmost skill, Now, let us consider a few of the stepping- stones which will aid us in searching for happi- ness. The craving for beauty in art, which be- gan with the desire to create and reproduce, is most natural to human beings. In art we have found the loveliness of a sunset, the peacefulness of a summer evening, and the beauty of facial expression. By visiting picture galleries and sculptural exhibitions our ,lives have been beau- tified and inspired. An acquaintance with art, or preferably the love of it, stimulates us to per- severe in seeking and coveting happiness. Music, which helps us to find pleasure, has been called one of the essential elements of life . Through the soothing quietness of Brahms' Lullaby or Gounod's Ave Maria our fears and griefs are forgotten, hymns, such as Faith of Our Fathers, give us new strength to meet our daily tasks, our spirits are aroused when we hear a stirring march of John Philip Sousa. Since music appeals to all of us, it belongs equally to everyone and can be thoroughly enjoyed. Reading, which is one of life's greatest bless- ings, is an activity readily adapted to all ages. Our association with books is not exposed to the misunderstandings which weaken or dissolve other friendships. Instead, booksg such as, Good-bye, Mr. Chips , and The Robe , make new friends for usg the biographies of Madam Curie and George Washington Carver inspire us to attain higher achievements, our ability to understand human nature is greatly augmented by reading of Julius Caesar and Pride and Prejudice. Literature is also a powerful means of obtaining knowledge. Through an in- telligent use of our public libraries we are able to make all great men our servants. All that they have lost or gained, done or left undone, is preserved for posterity. Today we ask, How will the deliberate destruction of books in Eur- ope affect tomorrow's civilization? Traveling, a very important avocational ec- tivity, is a road toward happiness. We who visited far distant points were thrilled with the maiesty of the Grand Canyon, or found time for quiet meditation in the Lincoln Memorial. Mount Vernon and the Statute of Liberty quickened our patriotic zeal and helped us to realize the true meaning of our democratic way of life. In the Upper Peninsula we are indeed fortunate, for here the beauty of the trees, lakes, and hills can- not be surpassed. No matter how long or short the journey, a change of scene and occupation is a great aid to health and happiness. Having a purpose in life is essential to hap- py living, but the cynic asks, How can one have a purpose when all about us is turmoil? As cynics are misanthropes who view life pessimis- tically and selfishly, they lack the fundamental Page Twenty-Nine
