Looking Forward Today, more than ever, high school students, especially the graduates, must realize the condition confronting our Nation, and, what is more important, the part that they are going to play in world affairs. Assuming that the War will last two yearsewe, therefore, may assume that the next four classes of graduation will see some service, so these students must be pre- pared mentally, morally, and physically. They must assume the responsibility of preparing themselves. The schools must help in this work. The degree to which this is done will aid, or retard, our War Effort, The big problems, however, will come within the next ten years following the end of the War. All students now in school, from the first grade. will be called upon to exercise their intelligence in guiding Our Country in the solution of many difficult problems which, if not settled properly, will result in other wars twenty years hence. The big task ahead of all students in preparing to meet these problems will be to get themselves to understand; t0 That an intelligent, properly and fully educated citizenry will be the biggest asset toward meeting these problems successfully. tZl That these problems, if they are to be settled properly, will demand honesty and the willingness to realize that we, as Americans, cannot live alone in this world, try as hard as we may to do so. The world is no longer made up of hemispheres, or of continents separated by vast oceans. Bi That faith in our country and in ourselves will be essential to preserve America as we Americans wish it to be preserved. It will always be a land of opportunity and freedom, if we have faith and are willing to work to have it remain so. May we all be equal to the tasks before us! Q. 2: Ease
