C. We salute- our principal, Mrs. Allen. WN- are grateful for hcr interest in our scholarship and school activities. We are appreciative of the fact that it is only through her kindly interest and efforts in our In-half lhnt wc nl Kelly arc enjoying many of the things that make school life pleasant. This Lamp- light--r is ...ny .....- i.-sn..-.-.-. our Imp.-S for an nm-ull in this y.-ar of shortages mm- mm-fializ.-a only through her foresight. Many time-s in our school can-er Mrs. Alle-n's counsel has helped us immeasurahly, and we know tllnt we shall conllnnc lo profil hy lu-r words of advice wisely spoken. ll is n trlhnle to Mrs. Allen that we fccl we shall always be indebted to her for making our years nt Km-lly n genuine course in Ann-ricnn citizenship. INNING THE WAR AND INFLUENCING THE PEACE conduct and high standards and to engender an ahiding faith in puhlic education. The demo- cratic ideals of' freedom. justice. and right are still thc hope of luuuauity hut ideals cannot flourish without education. Both the Army and Navy have advised students to remain in school until actually called to duty and have allowed them to continue their education in the armed forces. ltivcry puhlic spirited orator who speaks to young pcople today advises them that true patriotism for them is Remain in school-W get all thc education you can now. And every for- mer Kcllyan who writes from Mover there gives similar advice. Our role in determining the peace lies hefore us. lt is the role of making the voice of educa- tion heard through understanding of what the schools are doing and hy supporting education generously. It is the role of practising what the schools have taught, namely, to assume an active part in puhlie life hy holding office and voting intelligently, to exhihit tolerance among racial groups, to welcome the service men hack to a respected position in the community, to con- tinue the ration program willingly until suffi- cient supplies are availahle to all, to understand the fallacies of the Misms and stand firm against thinly veiled suhversive groups. Our citizenship in a world democracy implies the responsihility of influencing a fair settlement of world aflairs and maintaining a lasting world peace. PRINCIPAL

i 'xl , lf, A4- ,I fi 177. fl, :Ae .Siudena yQ ', K I I Youth will win the war! jf Youth will dominate the New World after the war! The schools must make sure that youth is equipped to meet these emergencies. Kelly has accepted the challenge. Our boys and girls face a world of tumult, conflict., warg but they have an intelligent view- point of life and know the importance of the job to be done. They realize that the war must be won before we can have peace and return to the American Way of Life. Hatred of the enemy and desire for revenge have not been taught at Kelly, but we have taught a strong and positive love of freedom and fair play, and the strength of their opposition to slavery and injustice will be irresistible. We hear no gloomy pessimism at Kclly, but rather a wholehearted enthusiasm for the call to service, for drives to secure scrap, to oversub- scribe quotas in sales of stamps and bonds, to donate blood, to remember the boys in service, to supplement the labor shortage by working long hours in addition to attending school with new interest in school work, and most important of all, by joining the armed forces when needed. We find Kelly's youth in all branches of the Nation's forces fighting for victory. Early in the present crisis Kelly was one of the first high schools to revise the physical fitness program and give strong emphasis to toughening up exercises for boys and girls with the result that our boys and girls have confidence in their physical ability to win the war. We have endeavored to impress students with the importance of successful planning, based on wholehearted and intelligent participation of all citizens, so that peace can be made by a fully in- formed and farsighted people. General partici- We salute our assistant principal. Mr. Mclieng. We ow him an appreciation for the many limes he has flu-are away n hurdle or helped us to surmounl il. CONTRIBUTION TOWAR pation in group thinking, in discussion, and eon- tributions to leadership in our school groups have been encouraged because the ideas of every member are needed in a democracy and the technique of cooperative action must be known by all if democracy is to survive. School life at Kelly affords a means and an opportunity for all pupils to receive the benefit of their compliance with certain accepted social principles and standards and the privilege of expressing themselves legitimately. By contrib- uting to wholesome school spirit students learn the fundamentals of intelligent community spirit which are needed to perpetuate the ideals of democracy. We look to each succeeding grad- uating class to help raise the standards of life to higher levels because of its own improved
