The Beoicon February l91ll SPDIlSDil'S IllESi3ilBE M. J. BYRNE To the Class of February, 1941: In the past few months many new and revolutionary changes have come into being in the world. Since this Beacon has as its theme patrio- tism , it is only fitting that we should consider the role of our own patrio- tism as it is affected by these changes. You who are about to be graduated will have excellent opportunity in the next few months to change from high school students to responsible citizens. You will take your place as workers in a democratic society that is rapidly preparing itself for self-preservation. My advice to you is to do all Within your power, and that is more than you think, to do all you can as patriotic citizens to realize the fulfillment of this defense program, and thus preserve our American way of living. M. J. Byrne. Four
