Page 12 lt has been a great pleasure indeed, to have lived and served with the youth of Kaukauna. I shall long remember taking part in the war efforts of the students of K.H.S. during the stirring days since Pearl Harborevregistrations for the Selective Draftg sugar, food, and gaso- line rationingg collection of scrap steel and paper, copper, tinfoil and old keysy selling of war bonds and stamps to the approximate total of iTp40,000, and writing speeches on topics such as Americanism, The American Way of Life, National Unity, American Democracy Trium- phant, We Live to Be Free, We Fight Today for Tomorrow. The memories of these activities I shall cherish as proof that the schools are a vital part of the arsenal of democracy. The teachers and the students play a prominent part in this conflict. The schools are paying big dividends today. Following the traditions of our forefathers for God and country, American boys from all the little homes and the big homes of America are fused into the greatest military machine the world has ever known, and under the Cross of Christ and Old Glory they are carving the highway to victory, each with his own blood and sweat and tears. But above the crimson lames F. Cavanaugh. TLA Ciertfi hell of battle our boys can see, though dimly, the tranquility and the magnificence of the new America which their hearts and hands, as your hearts and hands, will help to build when they come marching home. The boys of 1917-18 won the war and came marching home with high ideals and great hopes, but they found we had lost the peace. lf we do not win the peace, the winning of this war will mean little. All the blood and sweat and tears will have been shed in vain, and our boys, the little fellows now toddling off to school will be compelled, in their turn, twenty or twenty-five years hence, either to kneel before some future dictators or to fight and die. Unless the tragedy of l9l9 is to be repeated, the victors of this war must know what they want and how to get it. Our triumphs by land and sea and air give us good reason to hope that America has been given by the good Lord what nations so rarely get-a second chance to accept the responsibility of leadership for World Peace. Keep up the good work. Let the old go if we must, but teach the youth, for they hold in their hands the destiny of this great country of ours. MR.
