MR. FRED W. GRAFF Superintendent The future is yours, and it is brighter than it looks. During England’s darkest day as World War II raged, the expression was frequently heard that there would always be an England—at this critical hour, and with greater assurance, we can say there will always be a United States of America. As your nation prepares to defend itself, do not permit confusion or Futilitarianism to enervate you or to distort your objective. Few generations in a progressive country apd a progressive era are free from disturbing and threatening events; some of these come during the morning years of life, some at midday, and some with the evening sun. As you leave high school you hear your country's call for service. This you will not only heed but accept as a dynamic challenge. Peace, in your time, is not inevitable, and the threatened deflection of your normal course will be only temporary. Yes, there will always be a United States of America, and it has boundless opportunities for you.—Fred W. Graff. You, the members of the graduating class and the other students of Laurel High School, are now engaged in acquiring the skills and habits you will use in your adult life. With these you will build your future and the future of this country. Soon the students of today will occupy the positions of power in our nation of tomorrow. Decisions concerning the governmental and industrial en-terprizes that make America great will be made by your generation. No one can or will make these decisions for you unless you invite, by your indifference, a foreign power to come in and run our great nation. It is hoped that your studies have given you the means and the desire to continue in the improvement of this great land and the making of a more stable and peaceful world.—William A. West.
