PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS Hall Ketchum A peace is of the nature of a conquest, For then both parties nobly are subdued, And neither party loser. As graduates of a high school, we can whole-heartedly support this state- ment of William Shakespeare. With- out peace, and with war, perhaps we might not have attended even high school,-much less graduated. We can count ourselves lucky indeed that we live in a country which worships the God of Love instead of the God of War. It is readily agreed that peace is needed badly, and wanted badly by practically all of the people of the world. It is only a very small minority of war-minded omnipo.ents who want war for personal reasons more than they want peace. The majority of peo- ple today do not realize the indescrib- able horrors of war or they would never for a minute allow their country to enter one. Nothing useful is ever accomplished by war except prepara- tion for another one. For example: witness the huge war machines of today, direct outgrowths of the war to end wars. No one ever heard of any useful inventions or discoveries that were uncovered in wartime. Peace. and peace alone, fosters creative and good thinking and the opportunities for advancement such as those to which we graduates of today look forward. What has all this talk of war and peace to do with us? Iust this. We, the graduates of 1938, are going forth into a world that has clouds of war on the horizon. Not only must we find our position in life but we must face the fact that war as a reality is altogether too close. VVe, as graduates, cannot dictate that there shall be peace, as much as we would like to do so. We cannot change, we cannot rebuild the policies of the world in a few, short years. But as future citizens of this country we can work toward a universal peace. The young people of today are the warriors, or the citizens, of tomorrow! We can have our choice: to be cannon- fodder or useful, happy citizens and neighbors. The government of this country is run by the people and will do as the people desire. So long as the people of America are peace- minded, peace will be our lot.
