Dear Mr. Roberts, Although you have been in Malverne High School only two years, you have be- come one of its most outstanding personali- ties. You have worked diligently on two senior playsg you have arranged other dramatic programs, and you have acted as one of the faculty advisers of the grad- uating class of 194-2. These tangible serv- ices, appreciated by everyone, will always be remembered by those who participated. However, that quality that will be most memorable to all is your satirical wit, underneath which can be seen your deep understanding of us and an alliance with us. It, therefore, gives me great pleasure to dedicate to you, on behalf of the Senior Class, the 194-2 edition of the Malverne High School Oracle. Sincerely, if? if yffs-a.w6, ik President iff Dear Class, Your action in selecting me was flattering, and I consider myself highly honored. What can I say to you? Only that I wish you all the good fortune in the world at a time when good fortune bids fair to become a rationed commodity. Keep in mind that you are Americans and ponder deeply the fact that America is more than tall buildings and great cities, more than moving pictures and radio broadcasts. In a sense, America is the land, the great spaces that ache with emptiness, theifull-bodied rivers, the fields, and the forests. And yet America is in great part the people, noble and petty, kindly and cruel, the self-seeker, the firm-planted man with clear eye and high purpose, the pitiful fool, and the genius whose works are blood to our democratic life. Perhaps some of you will find America in the fellowship of the Army-where second generation Poles and Swedes live and fight side by side with men whose grandfathers saw Vicksburg and Antietam. Only if you sense within you the elemental comradeship of American young men, the complete breakdown of social and financial differences when the show- down comes, will you ever understand that America which another Long Islander named Walt Whitman 'loved so' muscularly.
