Since our last high school commencement, events of great significance have occurred on the national and international scene. Tradi- tions have been brokeng political and eccnom- ic liberty has been lost to millions of the earth's population and t'e march of conquest and destruction has moved on with slamming rapidity. In such a society, our citizens of the future must be ever conscious ofthe great responsibility for the perpetuation and im- provement of American way of life. It is my sincere hope that your experience as students in the Lamar Union High School has madea sig- nificant contribution to aiding you in assum- ing the honor and responsibility of American citizenship. JAMES H. BUCHANAN all Mill L111' 41011 In the midst of a confused and per- plexed world we still have a deep sense of inner security, for we are a part of a nation in which God still prevails, a nation that holds sacred those social, economic, and political practices which help the people of America to eenjcy a democratic way of life. May we show our loyalty by cherish- ing the principle on which democracy is founded and may we accept the challenge to spread these ideals to the world. KATHRYN WILLIS 3
