The strength of this group, however. depends upon the human motivations and attitudes which are reflected in its representatives. At the conclusion of four terrible years of global warfare and nearly two years ot comparative peace, youth is again able to look ahead into the tuture. with its numerous possibilities beckoning to them. We who are leaving our classrooms and entering the world oi work find that the entire outlook has been bright- ened. It is radiant in the sense that human values ot skill. craftsmanship. cooperation, and understanding have been restored to their proper place in the complexities oi civilization. Let us resolve that to be bound by law alone is not to maintain permanent peace: that to have an established set of rules is not to guarantee future halcyon days. Previ- S X .

li aff..- ous conflicts have proved this fact. After a short period of time hostilities would again begin between nations which had appeared friendly. During our stay at Dobbins we have learned through close observation and friendly associations, that a mutual understanding can be established and maintained among people of different interests, of different races, colors, and creeds. Such has been our training-the application is solely our responsibility. If we fail in our duty, the world- in greater scope-will fail in its duty. With the arrival of the atom bomb and its predicted future an even deeper appreciation of permanent peace is required. With these ideals in mind, and with hearts cleansed of malice, hatred, fear, and bigotry, the graduating classes of Iune, 1947, and Ianuary, 1948, sincerely dedicate this book to the United Nations and all it symbolizes.
