TO THE SENIORS: This issue of The PLAZA is hisforic. lf is published by The pupils aT The Time when we are aT war wiTh The Fascisf powers. Japan, Germany and lTaly in Their inordinafe and insafiable desire To divide The world among Them have seen fiT To launch a Treacherous and violenf affack on The Unifed STaTes of America. We have risen up in our greaf mighT To exfirpafe from The world The evil force Thaf l'liTler has generafed, To secure again for our people and for humanify af large Those greaf boons of jusfice, liberfy, frafernify and freedom Thaf are guaranfeed To our people. You who are graduafing have an unparalleled opporfunify of helping your coun- Try in ifs giganfic efforfs aT self-preservafion, of sfrengfhening Through your acTs iTs principles of democracy, and of improving iTs whole sTrucTure so ThaT iTs ideals of liberfy and iusfice for all will before long be a realiTy for all. For This we have Tried To prepare you in your school life by precepf and by example. To This noble pur- pose you can dedicafe your lives buT only if you will realize Thaf knowledge alone of The objecfives Thaf you wish will noT bring Them To pass. Your dedicafion musf resf upon an inner efhical convicfion Thaf no life is worTh living unless builf on a foundafion of decency and generosify. IT is my fervenT hope and belief Thaf The pupils leaving This school will demonsTraTe The value of American democrafic educa- Tion Through service To Their counTry and To Their fellows by a change in aTTiTude from personal acquisifiveness To one of magnanimify and of sharing. Make your life counf. Dedicafe if To a beffer America. Yours is a Task To make a happier world Than Thaf which we of This generafion have leff you. lT is a hard Task and a greaf challenge. Buf you have The sTrengTh, The courage and The idealism To produce such a world where generosify will replace cruelfy, where freedom will replace slavery and where decency will prevail. WALLACE A. MANHEIMER, Principal
