The proudest cities the oldest nations have, one by one, succumbed to the powerful armies of the most insane tyrant who has ever conceived a plan for conquering the universe, A We realize that ours is not an ordinary task. Iti will be ours, the Graduating Classes of all nations, duty to rid the world of its present menace, to restore'not only men's regu- lar procedure of life, but, above all else, his faith in himself, and to supplement peace with a guarantee that men never again will rise in arms against his brother. Our job is strewn with obstacles which will take years, yes, generations to overcome, but we shall not cringe or grovel in the dust of the conqueror's army. 'No, with the training which you, our par- ents, the faculty, the Board of Education, have afforded us, with the burning desire which flares in our hearts to avenge and right the wrongs ,showered upon mankind, we set out with heart-felt thankfulness for our education min- gled with thee sorrows of departing, to accom- plish our aimsi Willard Tremlett '42 t' 1 UI, Y n ',:1,.E. ia., :int-0-if 1 -
