CONRAD H RUPPERT To the Members of the Senior Class: In the vernacular of the carnival, snatching the brass ring denotes a profitable and satisfactory achievement. This year the brass ring of all time is within your grasp as op- portunities exist today as never before. Opportunity pre- vails because of a great heritage of freedom, the way of life in America. In light of this freedom, every person should understand the responsibility that each individual has. This is particularly true today with so many forces threatening. Our obligation is that we must freely contribute in a worthwhile manner to our society if we are to partake of its freedom. Our ideals should be unselfish. These ideals should inspire willing service to our fellow-man, to our community and to our nation without thought of personal gain. With- out such beliefs, we court national danger. It was Lincoln who said, Should danger ever reach us, it must spring amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of free men, we must live through all time, or die by suicide. A whirl of gaiety usually accompanies a ride on the carousel but our freedom should not be thought of in the same manner. Our obligation, also, is to perpetuate our heritage. Sincerely, Conrad H. Ruppert
