Page Eight Ill' ja:iL . . Today, as in the many ages long since passed, the standards and principles of the world are being seriously challenged by new and vastly different ideals. What changes will come about because of this upheaval are as yet to be discerned. However, that there will be changes and heavy tasks, it is certain. The world sends out a challenge to the young people of every land. They must not only be prepared to withstand the present crisis, but they must be equipped to become the leaders of the new world. In its daily functions, Madison High School has been preparing its students for these tasks, this challenge. In the classroorm, on the playing field, in the clubs, the principles in which we believe have been constantly placed before us. Each day we have learned new lessons, learned to share, learned to overcome our small difficulties, and to assume greater amounts of re- sponsibility, for it has ever been true that with every new personal free- dom, there comes a new responsibility. Every phase of the school's activities has been centered around Lincoln's immortal thought, It is for us to be dedicated to the great task remaining before us. We must prepare not only for a war-time present, but also for a peaceful future. The Class of '42 feels deeply that, because of this never-failing source of guidance and inspiration, we shall be able to leave these halls and assume our own responsibilities in life, instilled with the best our school has been able to offer. We shall be able to say with certainty and true conviction, America, we are ready!
