Principal and His Message To the Class of 1945 : We Americans like to seize an idea and dwell upon it. At the present time anything hav- ing to do with the world after the finish of the present global conflict will grasp everyone s attention. Into tbis category falls the preparation of youth lor the post-war world, and in some peculiar way the idea has gotten abroad that this preparation shall be different from the preparation necessary for the world that we bave in- habited heretofore. Let us not be led into error. The problems witb which we shall be confronted will re- quire strength of character for their solution. Already ques- tions which we must handle are rearing their ugly heads. Intolerance is one of them and wi thin the past few months we have seen the legislatures of New York and Missouri striking vigorously at intoler- ance in the guise of racial and religious discrimination. The WO rid we face wi II be taut and under a strain for some years to come, and you who belong to the generation that must solve its problems will bave to use the best pos- sible thought. Let this thought be tempered with a spirit of fairness and consideration for the other fellow’s viewpoint. Only in this way can these post-war questions be handled so that they will not have to be considered again before your generation has given way to its successor. Your friend. Jay W. Worrall. 1945 MEMORIES
