The War has emphasized the need of a more than adequate education. This young man, Leroy Nelson, who is receiving his diploma, had not finished his high school work when he left for the service. On his return to civilian life with a medical discharge from the service and credits for the work done in the Army, he had enough credits to entitle him to his diploma. With this endorsement he left for Stout Institute to continue his vocational education in tool making which he started in our own school before he was inducted. Other soldiers will be coming back from the War for further training in medicine, law, agriculture, dentistry, busi- ness, engineering and in the skilled trades, The years after the War will see more Americans than ever before availing themselves of the limit of the educational advantages of this coun- try. Each boy and girl in high school now must meet the returning soldier in friendly com-- petition for the positions of trust and responsibility in the post war years. lt can only be done by adequate educational preparation. High school graduation never meant as much before as it does now. lt is also true that it never meant so little, because without additional Work beyond the high school courses, boys and girls will find themselves handicapped in the competitive life of the post War years. With the broad background of studies in mathematics, English, science and social sciences, plus vocational training and participation in the arts which our students receive, the graduates of the Class of 1945 should have the background that makes it possible to go ahead with assur- ance in the quest for further training. Good luck. B. C, Berg
