crusade against God, especially in dealing with school children. Religion is a thing to be cast aside like an old worn out shoe. Children are prevented from even trying to think about God. Physical education pro¬ grams take the place of the usual Sunday morning church services. The various youth leaders of these countries plan hikes at this time to keep the youth of their na¬ tions away from church. In schools this act is carried even further, because God and his teachings are ridiculed and brought to shame before innocent souls. It is the most insidious of all religious persecution. These countries have people adoring as their God maniacal despots who are sow¬ ing the seeds for their own destruction. Education in Europe has become merely a tool in the hands of power mad dictators to train the youth in the Godless doctrines so necessary to the support of their regime. God as a living force has been ignored. American education is based on sound principles that school and religion go hand in hand. The student is taught the truth about the world, and our maps and books are not gone over by a censor to have the truth crossed out. Ou r teachers are not forced to teach only things that are in standing with a certain party. The student is taught to love his country and to be proud of its free principles and above all he is taught to love his God. The result of this American system of education is that we are developing a real super-race composed of the off-spring of all races. Possessing as our birth-right the might of forty-eight states, our wealth is the cause for envious glances from so-called mighty empires. We the Class of 1941 place our trust in God and beg of Him to allow us to remain clear-thinking and tolerant. We beg of Him that we who are now enjoying the blessings of liberty may be able to hand these blessings down to posterity, unsullied, unconquered, for its eternal enjoyment. OAK, LILY, AND IVY COMMITTEE Early in March the Oak, Lily, and Ivy Committee appointed by Mr. Berry, who shortly afterward outlined his plan for the book. After Mr. Morin had taken the group pictures and the drive on advertisers and sponsors was closed, the committee settled down to complete the various writ¬ ten articles which appear in this volume. It was, I assure you, no easy task to write the Class Prophecy, Class History, Class Will, and Calendar, and I want to thank the Senior committee members whose literary efforts were responsible for these articles. As Editor-in-Chief of the O. L. I., I also wish to thank, on behalf of the com¬ mittee and myself, Mr. Berry, who advised us in the formation of the book. Miss Ryan and Mr. Sweeney who helped perfect our writings. Miss Pyne who acted as our treasurer, and all other teachers and stu¬ dents who in any way helped us to complete this edition of the Oak, Lily, and Ivy. It is only fitting that in closing we al¬ so thank those who made our education possible through a never-ending series of personal sacrifices. We mean—our parents. All the joy and exaltation which we ex¬ perience on this, the occasion of our gradu¬ ation, is due to their efforts in our inter¬ ests. We cannot hope to express our feel¬ ing adequately in words; so let us just say, “Thank you and may the future years prove us worthy of your sacrifices and re¬ pay you in some small measure for your efforts.” 0. L., AND 1. Committee. A TRIBUTE As freshmen and sophomores we looked forward with anticipation to the happy days ahead, when we would take over the privileges and responsibilities of being all-important seniors. Of course, an¬ ticipation always does exceed realization, yet commencement is here and somehow our party has not quite been complete. The opportunity to have worked with Mr. Harold M. Moran, instructor of senior English and class adviser, is a part of our education not to be realized. May we extend a unanimous hope, Mr. Moran, that an early return to active service will thus enable the classes to fol¬ low an opportunity to acquire the benefits of your excellent instruction, wise guid¬ ance and willing assistance. Class of 1941. 22
