YEARBOOK OF THE CLASS of 1943 MIDDLEBORO, MASSACHUSETTS To Alfred E. Farley We can not easily forget Mr. Farley. The mere mention of Abington brings him to mind. In the first few weeks of our freshman year we were wont to laugh at his Abington pride. Then, as weeks turned into months, we learned that this boastfulness was only a means by which he hoped to instill in us a greater sense of civic pride. The memory of Mr. Farley out on the field and in the gym, in his quiet way encouraging the hoys on, to the further glory of our school, will always remain in the hearts of our sports enthusiasts. We were all sorry to see him leave M. H. S., but we know he went because he had a greater job to do. To Al Farley, the teacher, the coach, but most of all, the friend, we dedicate our yearbook.

Five days later the Class of ' 43 broke into Memorial High. At the time the latter event seemed much more im- portant. In the presence of our learned teachers and dignified superiors, the upper classmen, we felt rather timid. We were aptly described by a former class historian as scared rabbits. It was not long, however, before we be- came sufficiently sure of ourselves to elect class officers: Norman Andrews, president; Jeannttte Atkins, vice-president; Patsy lam- pietro, secretary; and Walter Alger, treas- urer. Further indication of our ability to adapt ourselves to the new surroundings was the absence of an acquaintance social, which, as its name implies, is designed to acquaint the Freshmen with the upper classmen and each other. The class got off to a good financial start by selling ice cream and candy at the foot- ball and basketball games. The plan proved so successful that it has been continued by the incoming Freshmen ever since. One of the less pleasant occurrences of the year was the advent of Midyears, which came down upon our innocent heads like a wolf on the fold. Happily the bark of the wolf proved much worse than his bite. In the fall of 1940 we returned to school feeling quite mature. We were now Sopho- mores. Our officers were Robert Gross, president; William MacMahon, vice-presi- dent; Roberta Gross, secretary; and Donald Quagan, treasurer. Our principal social event that year was the Sophomore social, which was held in February, in a patriotic setting. It was the first afternoon social, and there were some misgivings as to how it would go over. Thanks to the efforts of the committee in charge and the class adviser, Miss O ' Neil, it was a real hit; we made a lot of money, and Stuart met Lillian. The athletic facilities of the school were enhanced by an addition to the locker room, which Mr. Battis had built during the sum- mer. Of further interest in athletic circles that year was the excellent record of the baseball team, which lost only one game all the season and had one of the best defensive in-fields in the state. By June there were many new members of the faculty. Of these, Miss Merrill, Mrs. Ring, and Mr. Sturtevant are still with us. The next September, as Juniors now, we chose the following class officers: Donald Quagan, president; William MacMahon, vice- president; Constance Draghetti, secretary; and Walter Alger, treasurer. An important event early in the year was the dedication of the new football field to Mr. Battis in recognition of the time and effort which he had expended in completing it, almost singlehanded. The grandstand has a large seating capacity, and it is now pos- sible to charge admission and thereby greatly increase the income from football games. The death of our submaster, Mr. Tillson, in November was a loss to the whole com- munity; but it was felt most acutely in High School, where his devotion to his work and his sincere friendliness had endeared him to everyone. When he passed, something irreplaceable passed with him. After Christ- mas there were new additions to the teaching staff. Among these were Mr. Ashworth, the Senior English teacher, and Mr. Whitmore, who teaches Chemistry and Physics. The winter social season was climaxed by the Junior Prom, which was a triumph, measured by standards of either pleasure or profit. The year ended in a burst of activity. The occasion was the election of the Student Body president. Following a colorful nom- inating assembly and an exciting campaign, Robert The-Pupils ' -Choice Gross was elected to the office. His opponent, Eugene Sav- ard, became vice-president. Last autumn, after a vacation in which many of us worked to help relieve the in- creasing manpower shortage, we resumed our studies as Seniors. We were of course en- tirely familiar with dear old M. H. S., and perhaps our only new impression was a real- ization of what little creatures Freshmen are. Getting down to business quickly, we elected Malcolm Person, Donald Bowles, Constance Draghetti, and Roberta Gross, class officers. 1943 Memorial HigU. School 25 Under the able administration of Presi- dent Gross, the Student Council has been unusually active this year. Noteworthy among its accomplishments are the adoption of new plans for the allocation of Student Body dues and a revision of the constitution. This our last year in school was also to witness the loss of several veterans of the faculty. Mr. MacGown, the Science and Biology teacher, did not return after the summer: and Mr. Farley and Mr. Hyman left during the fall to join the Armed Forces. At the end of the first semester Mrs. Moore retired after fifteen years of efficient service in the Commercial Department. These va- cancies were filled by Mr. Spalding, Mrs. Sturtevant, Mr. Teeling, and Miss Dick. Tn March the Middleboro theatre-going public was afforded a rare treat in the pre- sentation of the Senior play, Leslie Storm ' s Heart of a City. The superior directing abilities of Mr. Ashworth scored again. With the excellent cast, including Patricia Hath- away, Ruth Kline, Barbara Michaud, Eliz- abeth MacDowell, and Arthur Burgess, he found himself with a hit on his hands. Or- chids to Mrs. Matheson for the realistic stage settings. Nor are the talents of our class confined to dramatics. We boast in our midst letter- men too numerous to mention; and the record of the basketball team, eleven wins and two defeats, is the best for some time. Scholastic honors go to Lois Wood, valedictorian, and Jeannette Atkins and Walter Alger, joint salutatorians. Many of the boys are already in the Military Service; the rest of us expect to be there soon. Most of the girls will un- doubtedly do work contributing to the war effort. It is therefore suggested that people interested in the further history of the Class of ' 43 consult their daily newsoacer. 26 Memorial High School 1943 The Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1943 ROBERT W. GROSS Being of sound mind and memory and fully aware of the uncertainties of this life, we, the Senior Class of Memorial High School, do therefore make, ordain, publish and de- clare this to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking all other former wills by us at any time made.

Cecil B. DeMille says she has a great future, taking over where Veronica Lake left off. PETER DREVINSKY is interested in rais- ing bees. We ' re wondering if the B stands for Barbara. That ' s some honey! WALTER ZIDIALES has become quite obsessed with the female species. Wood he forget his girl Elinor? Norton a long shot. ELIZABETH PITTSLEY is now in the trucking business. Prices have gone up and she gets a Buck for each trip. PAUL HARRISON, the answer to a maid- en ' s prayer, is now judging beauty contests on Coney Island. From all rumors, business is picking up. ELINOR BREIVOGEL is giving Made- moiselle stiff competition. We understand she has opened a dress shop on Fifth Avenue and is doing nicely. Thank you. ANNA PAWLAK has recently been ap- pointed private secretary to the President of the United States. We remember her capability and her efficiency in M. H. S. RUTH GUSHING is as happy as a lark. She ' s on the bumpy road to love that started with a Jerk. JACK CARVER is running a barber shop in Washington with a big sign over the door which says, Come In and Be Clipped. Special Rates for Redheads. BILL McMAHON keeps singing I Found a Million Dollar Baby in the Five and Ten Cent Store. We Bet-ty won ' t let her stay there long. RENEE RAY, the quiet one in our class, has finally let her hair down. She and Madame La Zonga are teaching conga dancing in three easy lessons. 1953 finds EDWARD CLEVERLY the owner of a glue factory. Latest reports say he ' s still stuck on all the girls. RUTH KLINE PATRICIA HATHAWAY JACK KULIAN and CARL MATHESON, formerly problem children of M. H. S., have now taken over the roles of Edward G.

HENRY GATES, who joined the Navy at the early age of nineteen, has now worked himself up to become an admiral. He even has his own fleet which ferries the boys from Lakeville to Middleboro by way of one Ne- masket River. JOHN SEPETJIAN has given up his life of managing football, baseball, and basket- ball, to work in the A P. From all re- ports, he is giving the First National some- thing to worry about. But, on the other hand, FRANCIS BIS- SONETTE has taken over a chain of First National stores, and his headquarters are in the heart of South Middleboro. Could it be that business is good there? ALICE REYNOLDS, who was always so intelligent in the Secretarial Course, has just made her debut in the world of society. She is the leading debutante in New York and has just finished her autobiography, en- titled Small Town Blues or Foot-loose and Fancy-free. MARJORIE GREY, cute little redhead of our class, has worked her way up step by step, and instead of owning a grain mill, is now running the Greasy Spoon in Holly- wood and is giving Giro ' s a run for its money. 28 f e m o r i a 1 High. School 1943 DANA PROVONCHE, co-captain of the football team, has just opened a trucking business of his own; and with this as se- curity, he keeps singing to a certain blonde You ' d Be So Nice to Come Home to. EDWIN SABALEWSKI and the WOLSKA sisters, MARY and JOSEPHINE, have com- bined their knowledge of farming and are turning out vegetables of a superior quality. They have opened a stand on the new road, and business is picking up again. Ten years after graduation MARJORIE CONANT is teaching dancing. She got all her experience from the Saturday night dances. She and Joe cut a pretty mean rug. IRENE GAUDETTE is now a Power ' s model. She was first discovered by her agent, Dana, who thought she had more than just an oomphy figure. BETTY KEOUGH, most popular redhead in town, is now refusing all dates. Her answer always is I ' m Saving Myself for Bill. While PAUL ANDERSON is still in the Army, ROBERTA GROSS stays at home to teach their four children how to snap bubble- gum. BETTY SELLEW, another quiet girl of our class, is now head cheer leader at B. U. Her rousing cheers and antics have spurred the team on to many a victory. LEON GROSS has finally won the Nation- al Freckle Contest. The sunshine and out- of-doors did it. MARJORIE HOLT, now residing in Cali- fornia as Mrs. Whitney, is raising a victory garden of Carrot Tops. SHIRLEY McDonald is giving Jimmy Lynch stiff competition in stunt driving. We remember her many crack-ups at M. H. S. BETTY McDowell is now playing the lead in Macbeth. She is the star in the Ferson Theater of Times Square. In the front row every night there sits a certain red- headed fellow. JEANNETTE LETENDRE is competing with Arthur Murray and is giving her pupils a whirl for their money. WILLIAM SULLIVAN is teaching history to the Wellesley College girls. He is so wrapped up in his work! NORMA FICKERT is now a receptionist at a hospital. When you lift the receiver, the familiar strain of My Buddy comes over the phone. ARLEEN SULLIVAN has been chosen the Sweetheart of the Navy. Her closest friend is a certain sailor. Arleen says, He may wear a sailor ' s uniform, but he is a Commando in the rumble seat. DONALD FOYE recently won the Wheat- ies ' prize for the Man of the Week. He says he owes his height and magnificent build to Wheaties. We find that our gentle PATRICIA still HATH-A-WAY with her Johnny; and though Pat holds a Hollywood contract with Colum- bia, she is the proud mother of twins. RICHARD MacNEILL is now the owner of the Ankle Sox baseball team, pennant winners of 1953. Although he states that he intends to remain a bachelor, reports from our Ninth Column prove differently. JOHN Peaches WASHBURN has opened a novelty shop, and we Bet-ty keeps things Perkin ' in the old home town! BEULAH P OWELL is blowing a hot trumpet in Chico Marx ' s band. She attri- butes her success to Mr. Churchill ' s firstrate coaching back at M. H. S. MARIAN HILTZ has realized her am- bition to be a secretary and is now in Washington, where she has replaced Secre- tary of Labor Perkins. She settles all labor disputes with a flirtatious smile and her winning way. Because of the shortage of gas and tires, NORMAN ANDREWS has given up the idea of opening a parking lot. He has de- cided to settle down and become a second Dr. Kildare. Though years have passed since his days at M. H. S., he is still trying to persuade Barbara Michaud that nursing is a great profession. LILLIAN De ARRUDA now serves on American Airlines as a hostess. Who is flying the plane? Why, none other than Daredevil Cassidy. He tells us that Lil- lian makes a pretty swell companion. Also in the flying field we find JOE Mac- ALLISTER, a captain in the Naval Air Corps. One look at him in his uniform, and we can see why all the girls are walk- ing around with their heads up in the clouds. ELINOR BURNETT has decided that mar- riage is the best profession. She has settled down on a little farm on the outskirts of Boston. She is very happy with her husband, a lad named Cliff, and her six adorable children. 1943 Memorial H i It Sckool 29 LIL SALLEY has given up her job at the bakery and is running a home for orphaned children.

PAULINE WASHBURN has opened a tea shop near the seashore, where she can oftlimes be found Scan-Ion the seas for her Joe. ELAINE TESSIER, hitting the high spots with a Smack, has had to Buck up against a great many obstacles. We ' re hoping a certain someone will come back and Walk-er to the altar. LOUIS FORNEY is now cruising around in his cruiser. He says that business is pick- ing up. CAROLYN BRALEY taxied herself right up to become the head operator in the tele- phone company. It must have been Joe ' s taxi rides that placed her in that position. From all reports, BARBARA FISH is running a date bureau for the boys in the armed forces. It ' s too bad Jack walked in, and then came the ' Don ; for she does all the entertaining herself. DONALD GAMMONS ' romantic naval career has him Fish -ing on warm summer days and cold winter nights. MABEL VICKERY and BETSEY SMALL- EY are hostesses in the Stork Club in New York.

ROBERT Mad-About-Watches SMITH has achieved his goal, timing burlesque shows at a well known theater on Scollay Square. His theme song is Time on My Hands. After retiring from the Navy, JOHN HAY- WARD settled down to a life of bliss on Kinsman Acres. He and his wife are raising a brood of little Arleens and Johnnies.

ELIZABETH ANDERSON ' S natural jjlat- inum locks secured for her a fine position with the Colgate Soap Company. She ' s the girl you see in the Halo ads. RAYMOND GAM ACHE became so en- grossed with acting that he took a course in dramatics. He is now a matinee idol.

She has been stringing them along herself. JEANNETTE ATKINS ' excellent work as editor of the Sachem and the Yearbook se- cured for her the editorship of the weekly publication Occupational Therapy and Its Intricacies. RUTH KLINE has achieved success as an Army doctor. Could it have been helping Miss Pasztor at the diphtheria clinic, Ruth? BARBARA TINKHAM, after many years of intensive study, has become a very cap- able nurse. Just this year she nursed a fever- stricken cat back to health and received an award from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. EUGENE SAVARD now occupies the honored position of Mayor of Skeedunk Village and is one of the village ' s leading politicians. He won the election by kissing the babies, under 21, of course. DONALD BOWLES prefers farming to the business world. Although he is still raising Cain, his chief product is — you guessed it — Corn.

CONNIE DRAGHETTI, although Bourne in the country, is now Bowl-ing the pa- tients over in one of the nation ' s largest hos- pitals. DAVID YOUNG is a general in the State Guard. Generally speaking, we remem- ber his marching with the State Guard back in ' 43. 30 e m o r 1 a 1 Hi h School 1943 JANETTE SPURRIER is teaching back- ward girls the art of winning friends and influencing people. We recall her bubbling personality back in M. H. S. STUART MacMILLAN has fulfilled his lifetime ambition and is now in Symphony Hall. He got his start in the M. H. S. as- sembly hall, playing Boogie Woogie. HOWARD SCHOFIELD is still sleepy. Is it because he delivers milk so early in the morning or sees Doris so late at night? DURA HIGGINS has been promoted to leadership of the Cub Scouts. We remem- ber his uniforms in M. H. S. BARBIE MICHAUD has combined beauty, brains, and wit, and is now Queenie, Queen of Them All. She got her start in the senior play. VERONICA SMALL has taken over the Gracie Allen show, advertising Giggle-Juice to give you a boost. They say she is roll- ing ' em in the aisles. CARL TRULSON is the proprietor of the Corinne Laundry. His one complaint is that he hasn ' t got a Shurt-leff. BOB JOHNSON played baseball for the Red Sox. Later he became an umpire in the National League. When the ball lands outside the base line, he yells, Fowl-er ball! DONALD QUAGAN ' S Sullivan ' s Trav- els took him around the world in a Short- yer time than he thought it would. LILLIAN JONES, or Jonesie, is still the most popular gal around town, but she is in a terrible Stew. Her heart is beating a loud Pat, Pat, Pat, and she doesn ' t know what to do about it.

If the situation is hopeless, he takes the girl out himself. EDITH DUDLEY is still quiet; but, then, she has to be, tip-toeing down the corridors of St. Luke ' s. ALFRED MORRIS is coaching football at Notre Dame. People claim that he is another Knute Rockne. We remember him well on Battis Field. HELEN NORTON — (Poetry — ahem!) Helen is the sweetheart of all the boys in the nation. But she claims that she prefers taking dictation. A lot of boys have tried to get placed upon her list. But usually almost all are dismissed. DORIS OUELLETTE is another of our girls who preferred nursing as a career. She is now overseas, nursing the soldiers back to health and another crack at the Japs. GIFFORD PHILLIPS recently erected a shrine. We Bet-ty dedicated it to a cer- tain girl. We recall how he worshipped her at M. H. S. Man-About-Town MALCOLM PERSON is still keeping all the girls guessing. As town selectman, though, we Bet-ty is happy with a certain Miss McDowell for his private secretary. DOREINE LINDSAY, now a Navy nurse, is keeping up the morale of our boys in the Service. We understand that she has fallen hard for one in particular and soon intends to resign and settle down in a bungalow built for two. BOB GROSS was opposed to a fourth term. So he formed his own party, which successfully carried the 1944 election. GERMAINE BAZINET has taken up nurs- ing. She is getting her Hat, but in the meantime is also getting a lot of experience in the Ward. ALICE GARDINER ' S singing and dancing ability has placed her high on the list of famous stars. She has a steady position on the Anderson program. Her theme song is He ' s My Guy. KATHERINE SOULE is now teaching kindergarten classes. We wonder whether all her experience was gained taking care of her younger brothers.

We sincerely hope that our future actions and achieve- ments will show that we were worthy of these many opportunities. It is with a strange mixture of gladness and pride that we wel- come you to our commencement exercises. Two Salutatory Essays The New Age of Scientific Deyelopment WALTER ALGER The old saying, Necessity is the mother of invention, has been borne out through the present world turmoil to an astound- ing degree. In this turmoil many of our raw materials and foodstuffs have either been greatly diminished or cut off entirely. While these raw materials have become practically nonexistent, the need for the finished prod- ucts has increased tremendously. For to- day we must not only supply our normal needs, but we must also supply the needs of our gigantic war effort and the pressing reeds of our gallant allies. As a result of these blunt facts, new ways of doing old things, and entirely new ideas had to be found. The government did, and is doing, its bit by putting millions of dollars into research work on these vital needs, and the progress made is becoming more and more evident as time goes by. First, in the field of medicine one of the outstanding achievements is the discovery and use of blood plasma. Until a short time ago it was necessary for a patient to submit to direct blood transfusion. Because of the discovery of the plasma it is possible to give blood to patients regardless of blood type or the fact that the donor is miles away. It is possible to have on hand at convenient places stores of blood, or blood banks. When blood is needed, there is no rushing around to find donors who happen to have the right type of blood. Instead, if the situation is critical, the plasma can be driven or even flown from the bank to the emergency. One outstanding example of the value of blood plasma was its use during the Cocoanut Grove disaster. There is no telling how many victims were saved through imme- diate use of the plasma. Also on the battle field many lives are being saved that would otherwise be lost. Another comparatively new development is that of the plastics. Because of the shortage of metals, especially the light ones like aluminum, substitutes had to be derived. Today plastics are being used in almost every type of machine imaginable. Many of our common household utensils are now made of them. Plans for their future use as building material are already being form- ed. Plastics are made from a great many things; among these are vegetable fibers, coal, gas, oil, and countless other things that have not been greatly limited as yet by the war. There are many other new ideas that con- serve our scarce materials. For example, today the common milkweed is used to manufacture felt, rayon, film, paper, ex- plosives, and cellophane. It can easily be seen that with new discoveries like these we have no immediate danger of critical short- ages. In connection with foods we have the new developments of dehydration and quick-freez- ing. Dehydrating enables us to store foods 1943 Memorial High. School 41 in dry places for long periods of time. It also enables us to store or transport these foods in one eighth of the space that would have been required in their natural state. When foods are quick-frozen, they can be kept in perfect condition as long as they remain frozen. The quick-freezing also keeps the original flavors and nutritional values for the period of storage. Both dehydrating and quick-freezing save considerable metal, as tin cans are no longer needed. What do all these war-time developments mean to us now and in the peace that will follow the war? They mean that we now will be able to benefit from inventions and ideas that would not have come about for some time except for the war. They mean that we will be able to advance scientifically at a much greater rate than we could ever have dreamed of before. They mean new occupations, new fields of research, and new luxuries and comforts for the general pub- lic. Today we are passing through a period that makes the progress of the past look like child ' s play. This is truly an age of scientific development and improvement. Occupational Therapy JEANNETTE ATKINS When the boys began to return from the First World War, some with bodies wracked and torn, some with minds either partially or completely gone, medical workers saw a need for some kind of diversional work. At first any woman who was willing to give up the time was called in to provide bedside occupations for the sick and wounded; but after a while it was noticed that the patient often became restless because of lack of tact and understanding on the part of the helper, and consequently his condition be- came worse. Thus came the call for trained workers. Schools for training occupational therapists were established and gradually gained the backing of the American Medical Association. Since that time occupational therapy has enlarged its scope until it in- cludes many branches besides its original, diversional work. Now, in the present war, has come the demand for specialized occupa- tional therapy. For example, no longer can a therapist working in a hospital for cardiac diseases leave that position and obtain work in a tuberculosis sanatorium on an equal basis. Recent investigation and experiments are demonstrating the importance of occupational therapy in the cure of the criminally insane, chronic alcoholics, and dope addicts. One branch of occupational therapy which has yet to be developed is its use in the home. Like all other professions, this work has its difficulties. Sometimes there is a mis- understanding between the doctor and the occupational therapist. Both aim for a com- mon goal, the rehabilitation of the patient: but the methods of approach are different. Fortunately this difficulty has been decreased as occupational therapy has become more specialized. Most doctors now regard it as an integral part of their own profession. Besides this problem there is that of the occupational therapist ' s own attitude toward the person under her care. She must be helpful and patient, and she must avoid undue criticism. She must know a little about everything and a great deal about something. One type of medical work in which occu- pational therapy has proved successful is post-traumatic neurosis. This illness is pure- ly mental; the patient believes himself to be ill, even though no doctor can find anything wrong with him. Such a case is usually due to the patient ' s emotional reaction to his station in life or to some discrimination of society against him, real or fancied. This type is difficult to handle, both because there is no need for a doctor ' s regular at- tendance and because the patient ' s fear of social contacts causes him to shun any per- son who might try to help him. The oc- cupational therapist must not use her own judgment as to what kind of work might suit the patient, but must let him decide for himself. The patient ' s reluctance to look for anything that would take his mind off himself makes th,e task doubly difficult. When he does decide on some kind of diver- sional work, it is the responsibility of the occupational therapist to see that the work is made hard enough to tax his abilities but not so hard as to baffle him. Overpraise in such cases is out of order. The occupational therapist must use just the right amount of 42 ISl emorial Higli School 1943 criticism to inspire the patient to go on and correct his errors. Such stimulation of the patient ' s interest enables him to set forth his own personality and so regain his lagging interest in life. When a person has been in a sanatorium or hospital for any great length of time, he loses nearly all of his contact with the out- side world. Because all his social inter- course is carried on among patients who have conditions similar to his own, he does not realize that the atmosphere of the hos- pital is different from that of his home. Then quite suddenly he finds himself torn up by the roots and thrust back into an un- sympathetic society. To be sure, everyone is very kind and very careful not to refer to his past condition; and if the patient takes this in the manner it is intended, all is well. If not, he gradually withdraws into his shell and looks upon society with an attitude of reproach and hatred. To the outsider, he is simply a stubborn child; but the outsider cannot see that he himself is partly to blame. What is worse for anyone than to have people talk of things about which he knows nothing! So a patient needs to talk about his illness and about his experiences in the hospital because these are the only things he has to talk about that are of interest to him. If the occupational- therapy program could be carried over from the hospital into the home, many awkward situations and much heartbreak could be averted. Unfortunately there would be a financial problem in all this. Few parents, having stood the expense of hospitalization, would be willing to go to the further expense of continuing such a program of therapy. The ideal plan would be to have the state sponsor and support it. However, before any such program could go into effect, the people at home would have to be educated to the advantages and possibilities of occu- pational therapy. Ask an occupational therapist how she likes her work, and she will reply, It ' s new and excitin g. It mingles with your blood and wraps itself around your heart until it becomes a part of you. Yes, it is new; but it has developed greatly and will continue to develop as long as there is human life and that human life has troubles and illness. Valedictory Essay Problems of the Post-War World LOIS WOOD Every day that this war continues there is some new problem to occupy our minds, for we are all looking forward to a better post-war world. Let us try to decide what some of these problems are. Uppermost in everyone ' s mind are the ideals of his people. Can the diverse ideals of all the peoples of the world be included in a single plan for peace? It does not seem as if the peace will be accept- able unless this is done. Are there to be equal opportunities for all nations, regardless of wealth? What is the economic status of the world to be? How important is the problem of a common currency, or monetary system? To what extent can monopolies be permitted? Access to raw materials has played a large part in the maintenance of an army for the war. What shall be done about this matter in the post-war world? These are some of the outstanding prob- lems of the post-war world. Let us look at them carefully in the light of past exper- iences and with our own common sense and conscience as our guides. When we stop to think about a post-war world, we find that the ideals of the various nations in regard to peace differ greatly. There are differences of opinion as to what constitutes the form of peace they expect ultimately. Let us glance briefly at some of these opinions. What do the peoples of the Middle and Far East want of the post- war world? Willkie believes that they are more on our side than against us. He be- lieves that they are skeptical about our ex- pressions of freedom, and are curious to know whether we expect to control them as enlarged mandated areas, which to them would mean a form of foreign tyrannv. This represents a challenge to the peace-makers. We must find out just what will be best for that section of the world and will enable them to operate independently on a sound economic basis. 1943 Memorial High School 43 Let us look for a moment at the attitudes of the people here at home. We see again the same pessimism which has shown itself in previous hours of struggle. To adopt the attitude that it makes no difference what kind of peace we make, shows very definitely a lack of realization of the consequences. Even though Hitler has undoubtedly planned his post-war world, there can be no lasting peace under his rule; for people who have lived in a democratic country could never submit to Nazism. There would be continual uprisings. Unless the whole world recog- nizes the natural, human desire to be free and the right of every individual to be free, there can be no world harmony. What is the economic status of the world to be? If there is to be a feeling of equality among nations, there must be a sharing so that the smaller nations will be able to raise their standards of living. A great deal of careful planning must be incorporated in order that such measures may be accepted. Some kind of arrangement of an international monetary system seems essential. The United States will undoubtedly have to lower trade barriers and sacrifice a great deal of eco- nomic prestige. Our high standard of living will probably have to be lowered in order to raise that of some more unfortunate country. We must take into account the business of the world. To what extent can monop- olies exist? In the experience of our own country ' s growth it has been necessary for the government to take measures to regulate business. Monopolies created in a country or between countries reach out and control the prices and distribution of goods to other countries. This leads to vicious trade bar- riers and complicates the problems of access to raw materials. Access to raw materials will be a most important consideration in a post-war world. Germany has used the propaganda among her subjects that they have been deprived of raw materials. So this matter will have to be considered at the peace table. Careful study should be made of the actual facts of the situation. Citizens, as well as heads of governments, should be alive to the se- riousness of these problems. Americans must be ready to sacrifice for the sake of preserving humanity. If peri- odic wars continue, the human race will eventually become barbarian, or even extinct. Because science has made a unit of the world, in the future what concerns others must con- cern us. Our thinking in the future must be world-wide. Valedictory CLASSMATES: We have spent the last four years together in happy comradeship, and these years will be remembered bv all as four of the happiest of our lives. To- night we are gathered together as a class for the last time. Soon many of us will be in the armed service of our country; others will be working to help give our fighting forces the backing thai they need; and some will be seeking higher education so that they may be of service in the post-war world. Whatever we are doing and wherever we may be, we should never forget the debt of gratitude which we owe the teachers, who have been our friends and guides. We are now on our own, and our future success and happiness are up to us. At the present time we are all looking forward to ultimate victory. When this has been accomplished, we may feel free to work to attain the goals we have set for ourselves. Victory will be attained, and then, and only then, may we enjoy all that is our heritage. To M. H. S. The time has come for us to part. To you we are in debt; For though our paths uncertain are, Our goal is firmly set. You ' ve given us foundation That we may gain success, And now we go in confidence To aid in time of stress. Our days were spent in pleasure here. Each free from fear and strife; Tomorrow brings the struggle on With sterner things of life. However dense the clouds of war, Our footsteps ne ' er will stray; For you have given us a light To guide us on our way.
