B. C. BERG Superintendent NEWTON B. A. University of lllinoisg M, A. Columbia University, University of Iowa. i l OU CAME into this world in the years of readjustment following the First World War. You entered school while we were riding the crest of a tremendous wave of so-called prosperity. Some of you do not remem- ber the crash of l929, but the years of depression and the attempts to meet its dark problems have been part and parcel of the major experiences of your lives. Now, as you leave school and childhood behind you to take your place in a world at war, those of us who have had a share in your education hope that you leave with understanding and faith in our Anglo- Saxon culture and in our American ideals for the development of individual security and freedom for each mans personality, for his mind, for his method of expression, for his religion, for his home and property, for his family, and for the democratic institutions which he has created to protect them. We hope that you have the courage and discipline to stand fast for the things you believe ing that you have learned enough skills to find a place where you can begin to earn your own daily bread or enough preparation to go on satisfactorily in more advanced studies. The world has changed a great deal in the last decadeg it will change more in the next. You will have a chance to use your power and influence in the creation of that world. Be sure that it is not a worse world than the one we have known. 'Through Louise, l have had a great personal interest in the class of 1941 and in each of its members. l wish success for each and all of you.
