May I suggest that as you leave Malden High School you continue your efforts to improve yourselves. In so doing you wiU be working for the improvement of society as a whole. May I suggest that you work for peace in the world by working for peace in your own immediate milieu, by loving one another and by ridding yourselves of all traces of bigotry, prejudice and all hatreds except a hatred of injustice. These are indeed perilous times that face you as you bravely step forward into a future which is at best uncertain. But in our time and before, the youth of the nation has ever gone forth from school into a world plagued with crises. Yet those who have faced up to the dangers have faced them down in the end. This has been the pattern of America's youth. I trust and pray it will be your pattern, your victory and triumph.” ' r MR. PHANEUFS PLEASANT SECRETARY.
