PRINCIPALS ' MESSAGES Total war has come to America. It touches the lives of us all. It means that we are giving up many of those things which we have enjoyed in the past. It means that we are more and more going to have to give up many of those things which we have considered essentials. We do these things happily because we realize that that is but a small way in which we can make some contribution to ultimate victory. But in a more positive way, we are girding ourselves to carry on. We are helping to build that morale so necessary for success. We are striving to keep the democratic prof cess alive in our relationships with our fellows. We are studying the issues and the progress of the war and are endeavoring to discover the essential elements that should be the basis of the peace to follow. We are stretching our horizons to East and West, to North and South in order that we might better know and understand our neighbors. We recognize that America can no longer isolate herself from participaticn in the affairs of the world and that only as we join in assuring the peace of the world can the peace and security of America be maintained. Victory to America at this time of world conflict means the continuance of our democratic way of life. It signifies the preservation of a priceless heritage that has been committed to us through years of struggle and of sacrifice. Victory must be won if we are to remain a free people with our traditional rights of self-expression and of self-gov- ernment. No price is too great for the people of America to pay for the protection of their freedom and their liberty. Imbued with the spirit which is America, we cannot lose if we have unity of purpose and of actio-n and if we feel and know the real meaning of sacrifice for a great cause. Individual selfishness must be overcome, however, if we as a people are to conquer the gi-eat forces of greed and evil that threaten to engulf us. Unity and sacrifice are the key to ultimate victory. With a complete realization of the truth of the well known maxim, UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL, and with a willingness to sacrifice our all for our country, we cannot fail. We must gain the victory. United we must stand, or one by one we shall tall might well be a slogan of Amer- ica and our Allies. It is imperative that our forces opposing the Axis work together with complete understanding and cooperation. Unity of purpose, unity of action, and unity of ideas and ideals will preserve our civilization and the American way of living. For a time after Pearl Harbor, the American nation was united as never before. We must preserve this unity by supporting all our chosen leaders and their policies, dis- regarding rumors and falsehood. We should gladly accept the sacrifices that inevitably fall to each one of us, knowing that they are insignificant compared to the hardships that our soldiers at the front must endure. The Class of 1942 is faced with a crucial situation. We trust that your training in the public schools of America will help you keep the ideals of democracy on the same high plane established by the founders of the Amei ' ican Republic.
