a :XTX PATTERN FOR PROGRESS 'Kr ' Q THE uncertainty of the day of victory warrants im- .K u. X mediate preparedness on the part of America's youth. 3 :F wc .. 'I 5 itll :tt- x W 'I'iggxs X ', 1 ww ' Ni' 52 ? will ll r ff: -as li' -1 ' 'J V Education of a general nature, vocations of vital im- ii portance in the post-war era, and, above all, good com- mon sense to solve imperative problems of an economic, ' social, and political nature must be youth's outstanding XX l 'ui qualities. These faculties will be vital in the successful pf' solution of many problems. Because the nations of to- Af morrow will be interdependent economically, America? S W f youth must design its economic status in terms of the wh K A world. Before normalcy may be resumed, prejudice and hate between victor and vanquished must be destroyed by the establishment of dependable governments that will prove beneficial to the vanquished nations and provide security from aggression for their world neighbors. Following the settlement of these problems by the foresight of active citizens, America and the world will begin an extensive program of development in science, medicine, transportation, and other phases of endeavor to carry mankind to its greatest development. Before this objective is attained, the obstacles will be many and varied and will require ceaseless efforts and boundless endurance. Many will seem insurmountable and for a time '1 will defy the best efforts of Americans everywhere. Then will 2 America's will to win and good-natured humor break through to provide respite from the crushing weight of these ff! fl l problems. Perhaps we shall call our temporary failures a X ! result of bad luck. Or perhaps, more humorously, we shall blame the gremlins, creations of the Second World War. N . v To these troublesome little creatures, causes of unaccountable is -- ' ' discomforts for our aerial pilots and also for the students , i f f who lose their school assignments, fail examinations, and 5 suffer other torments, may be attributed the mistakes due X f to quirks of fate or lack of foresight. Lackawanna High School, with countless other educational XX institutions of the United States, is developing its youth in the abilities that will make them leaders in all fields of ac- complishment. The courses of study provide a well-balanced 0, education. Languages, mathematics, art, sciences, and vo- cational arts are all planned to provide skilled workers for g greater development in the world of tomorrow. These im- . portant studies are intermingled with entertaining diversions in art, music, athletics, and drama- tics to provide a well-developed educational background necessary for tomorrow's citizens. Aroused by past events, aided by a greater understanding of prevailing problems and a clearer vision of tomorrow's world--a peaceful, harmonious and progressive world-youth will confidently march forth as one to fashion a new and greater civilization for themselves and their posterity. 12
