Young America - these boys, our graduates, have paid with their life's blood that you might live. This is not idle talk. The ink is scarcely dry on the pages of history that describes the unbelievable horrors in the land where liberty is dead and where special privilege rules. These boys are dead. They died to make this a better world in which to live. Their dying is giving you the opportunity to carry forward the torch of reason, tolerance, humanity and hope, and to blast from its moorings hate, greed selfishness and bigotry. Young America, you have no right to live on a lower plane of ideals than the plane of action on which these boys were asked to die. May God give you the cour- age to live and carry that torch eternally and fearlessly so that the world may know these boys did not die in vain. YOURS IN THE INTEREST OF A BETTER WORLD. A. A. Riddering, Supt.

TO THE STUDENTS: It is indeed a pleasure for me to know that we again have a school Annual. I be- lieve an Annual serves the school as one of its most outstanding traditions, We know it was one oi those impossible things during the war years, but now we can again en- joy the privilege of having an Annual each year. At this time I want to congratulate the Cardinal Echo Staff, their Teacher, and all others who have co-operated to make this year's Annual a most unique and interesting volume. Actually a school Annual is a history book about our school and for many years to come those who own a copy will spend many happy hours in reading and re- miniscing over good old school days. This has been a memorial year, and I certainly want to' extend my sincere appre- ciation at this time for the fine spirit and co-operation of all teachers and students in the Melvlndale High School. I want to say KTha.nks for the many fine ways they have helped in making this year, not only a memorial year, but for a commemorable year in our existence. ? ltleakin, Principal.
