Sometimes we tend to lose a true per- W I W it in Q spective of what this school, and all such schools represent. Occasionally we forget that our school is a physical expression of confidence in its youth on the part of the American people. ln placing expressions of such confidence in every community. the citizens of our great nation have invested heavily in the future and the present. They have invested i-n you. You must be aware of this responsibility. ln every classroom and office of this school there is an American flag. lt is there not merely for visitors to see, nor to- be waved or saluted in hollow gesture. It is there as a reminder to every person who comes to this school that we, as pupils and staff members, are carrying on the tradition of Americ-an education. And that mea-ns education of an intelligent citizenry: the preparation of present and future generations of loyal and responsible citizens. As you leave the grounds for the lastitime this school year, turn and loolc once again at the buildings of the school plant. Salute that American flag which flies in front of those buildings every school day, and utter a brief prayer to God that with your efforts the flag and the institu- tion behind it shall endure forever. Yours is the responsibility, .and it is within your power to meet it.
