PI INCIFA .XS MESSAGE . . . We are lold daily lhal lhe mosl serious lhreal lo our de- mocracy is communislic dicla- lorship. Il is my opinion lhal a lhreal almosl as serious as com- munism is our own indillerence, complacency and ignorance ol whal democracy really means lo us. We are inclined lo laI4e il loo much lor granled. We seem lo have no awareness ol whal we would suller if our demc- cralic privileges were lal4en away lrom us. The main purpose ol Liver- more Union High School is lo help prepare our youlh lo as- RALPH T,WATTENBURGER sume lhe responsibililies ol cili- zenship in lhis democracy ol ours. A lhorough educalion, righl alliludes, a heallhy and a slrong personalily are inlegral parls ol our syslem ol educalion. Democracy is more lhan a lorm ol govern- menlg il is lhe American way ol Iile. Il encompasses every aspecl ol human relalions. I urge each and every one ol you lo lamiliarize yourselves wilh lhe lrue meaning ol democracy and lhen endeavor lo praclice il in your daily lives.
