SUPERINTENDENT'S MESSAGE Class of 1939s Parents and taxpayers spent money upon your education because they share America's faith that democracy Is based upon awakened Intelligence. I believe the public schools have done something to help you act and think through to a way of living that will be more secure and happier for all. We can only start you In a manner of living and learning to find yearned-for solutions . You have contracted a debt to society as each coming generation must. May you, through school citizenship, broaden Into ever wider community life and repay the debt with ample interest. Class of 1939: You enter into a world In which persecution and intolerance are rampant. A multitude of isms and Ideologies are being forced upon Its people by small pressure groups. More intensively effectual propaganda than ever before witnessed on this earth , is being unleashed upon its inhabitants. If you will face these complex situations with an attitude built upon reason rather than emotion, both the faculty and I will feel proud of having been associated with you. PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
