 This is g time of unrest and uncertainty for high school pupils. Jobs are plentiful and wages temptingly high. The many services of our country are calling for more and more men and women. Several of your schoolmates have left to enter the armed forces. At such a time, through patriotic motives, and other not so worthy motives, many are tempted to quit high school for other ventures. This is exactly what our government does not want high school pupils to do. All who can possibly do so are urged to finish high school. In the future you will have need of all the education you can get. It is my earnest wish that each of you will complete his high school course and get as much additional training as possible. Let us all hope and pray that those of our numbers who have left us for service to our country and those yet to go, will all be returned to us safely. Education is the key to the whole jig-saw puzzle that we face today. For unless we can grade the capacity of all our people, both the youth and the adult of today, we cannot hope to succeed against the odds we face tomorrow. We have tried to teach you to be mentally alert, that type of alertness that comes through ready coordination of head and hand. We have tried to teach you to be the type of men and women who can cope with postwar problems. Eighteen year olds are doing many things nowadays that we never thought possible. Not the least of these many things is the ability to fight a war for the preservation of democracy. The winning of the war is only one phase of the struggle in which humanity is engaged. We must win the peace as well, so that we shall arrive at the hope of every living heart, A Magnifi-cient America. 8
