SALUTATGRY Parents, Members of the School Board, Faculty and Friends: We wish to welcome you to our Commencement exercises--one of the greatest occasions in our lives as yet. After 13 years of study and play, we are on the threshold and opening the door to the world of the future where our successes and failures will be deter- mined largely by ourselves. We wish to express our profound appreciation to the school board, who have made provisions for our educationg to the faculty, who have guided our footsteps in the halls of learning, and to our parents whose loving interests and self-sacrifice have brought us to this place of achievement. We feel that in many respects, young people of our generation are facing a greater challenge than any pre- ceeding generation-I say this after viewing the troubled world around us. Of a certainty in the un- tangling of the knotty problems which confront us to- day, those of us who are just stepping from the com- parative shelter of high school must take an active part. In the midst of chaos though we are, we still have visions of a new world. We hope that what we have learned in school has prepared us for our place in re- building that world. One of the problems which confronts us as we look out into the future is that of race hatred. This must be eliminated. It is a hindrance to the high ideals for which our country is working. There is no place for hatred of other races and discrimination against them in the practices of a country whose people reverently and earnestly believe that All men are created equal. We firmly believe that in the world of the future, we must have, not racial discrimination, but a tolerance which admits the fine points of all.
