To the Class of 1943: 1 ' EF V American high school will sent! out a graduating class this vear into a world beset with war. Each member of these classes must remember that this great country’ of ours will need the best elTorts of all citizens during these perilous tunes. But keep this fact in mind. Love of country does not onh- mean the performance of spec- tacular deeds; it can also be shown in the every- day performance of our regular duties. It is interesting to note that American his- tory books are steadfastly devoting less space to war. 1 his is due to a recognition of the fact that a country must be built up in times ol peace, and that a study of peacetime activities will pay greater dividends than will a detailed study of war. Let us all endeavor to profit from the lessons that our history books are striving to teach. W’e will then come to know that it is commend- aVile to obey a traffic light, to pay our ta.xes, or to observe carefully any of the laws set up to preserve our common rights. In so doing we shall truly show ourselves to be citizens imbued with the highest ideals of patriotism. our sincere friend, Lay W ' . W’orrall n
