The Leaders Upon whom rested the responsi- bility of seeing that the assemblies, shows, games, and all other activi- Ties ran smoothly.

Times Change The 1943 Yearbook will recall to the nds of future readers the most numerous nd important changes in the principles of living of possibly any previous edition. Mentally, spiritually and socially youth is being tailed upon to respond and adjust to new ways of behaving that con- ertainty mark most attempts Yb live righteously, and be- for both individual and P. M. Mickelsen Midvale U. of U.. U.S.A.C. Co-ordinator N.Y.A. home production call upon k'eenest minds to take the lead. Political adjustments to new organization and ad- ministration of the affairs of the nation's people call for statesmanlike practices which tax the mental resources of the L. W. Nielsen people. Principal Sandy U. of U., U. of California No national unity of the type needed to guide civil and war affairs has yet emerged. Some minds must discover the leads which bear on to a solution of these new problems. The democratic ideals are at stake. It is to be hoped that Jefferson's statement that their survival depends upon an educated electorate may prove true and also that the electorate may have the mental ability and courage to prove it true. Spiritually, many people are literally forced by circumstances of war to believe in the power of Sod. Whether such spirituality will be permanent remains for the future to tell. Not all people are spiritually minded because of these conditions. Many are so minded in spite of them. Many have not awakened to the culture inherent in obedience to divine law and order. The changes ahead may yet offer an opportunity for world-wide spiritual culture and refinement. The social changes of the present are too prone to accede to the baser desires of the physical man. The interdependence of the economic and spiritual and moral welfare may grow closer and clearer under the sifting and threshing forces now operating in the global cataclysm of war and destruction. Already men are promulgating new principles of living, new modes of behavior, new standards of re- sponsibility, higher standards of general welfare. Time alone will reveal whether such changes will be for better or for worse for mankind. ( ,ji i . -J. W. ■y ir i)'n At the end of a busy day, Lucille balances the cash.
