MR. MAX W. WHERRY Principal MUNHALL HIGH SCHOOL Graduates: Potentially this world of ours is a place of beauty, peace, security and plenty. Yet we have wars, disease, and poverty because men do not use their minds or because they do use them in the wrong way. You ot the tuture must help bring order out of the confusion that sur- rounds us. May the training to think that you have received while here in Munhall High School encourage and stimulate you to this purpose. ln our hope for a better world our taith lies in you-that you will be persistent in intelligent thinking-that you will relate your thinking to the real issues of life. THINK: Think to make our world of the future a more beautiful place in which to live. -Q., 'ffif Il ' xl-Q xs-

I l Superintendent To the Seniors: The administration of the Munhall Schools extends sincere congratu- lations to you upon your successful completion of your high school work. Today, as never before, the nation is in greater need of well-prepared citizens. Someone has said that Not its lands, not its rivers, not its forests, not its money-important as these things are-only its people make a nation truly great. All victories in peace and in war are won by people. The early in- habitants of our country, the American Indians, lost their country because each tribe was a law unto itself. The various tribes failed to cooperate in the building of a nation. The motto of the early colonists who built our nation was United we stand, divided we fall. Not only unity of the nation is de- manded, but a unity of all nations of the world must be developed. We live today in a world that is increasingly interdependent, and the dawn of the new Atomic Age demands that we learn to live in One World. ln the preamble to UNESCO are these significant words, Since wars begin in the minds of men it is in the minds of men that the defenses of peace must be constructed. Yours is a task to eliminate war among nations and to build a lasting peace. May you each one do your part in the great task of education, which will help solve this critical problem of mankind, 'fffgf io xls xs XS' DR. EARL O. LIGGITT MUNHALL scHooLs

MR. HOMER W. BEGGS Principal WOODLAWN JUNIOR HIGH To the Class of l947: Graduation from high school is, as always, an achievement of which to be proud. The recent war emphasized the worth of the kind of education which high school offers, but the war also gave rise to the realization of the immediate need for a kind of world intelligence which will permit all people to live together. Travel in terms of Moons, true in the days of the American Indian, no longer applies, for modes and speeds of travel and communication have narrowed distances, making us neighbors to the rest of the world. Thus, it seems tair to say that there is an opportunity for you to make world citizen- ship a reality by living with honor the ideals ot American democracy. flair' , h- tv 0 f 12 X15 -x.....--
