Something Qoes . . . Something Stays CVERY day in almost every Amer- ican town a group of boys is leaving for camp —a military camp. As you pass our service flag here in the hall at North Central, already you see a mute testimony to more than a thousand hoys leaving to place all that they are — minds, spirit, and bodies — across the path of our country ' s armed enemies. They and what they do and have done, and now you, as you join with them in service to your country ' s need, either as civilians or in uni- form, give reason for and meaning to your school. You graduate in a war year. You are at nine faced with violence, witli harsh tests of your character and real worth, with the need for level-headed choosing between good and less good, in conduct and service. As you close up the books, attend the last classes, or con , or dance, or meeting, you may not sense the whole meaning of going away. Only later you will look back. This i because something goes with you from North Central : Friendships made here, growth of personality, a sense of your own abilities, and memories of things of happiness and profit in which you had a part. The rooms, the seats, the halls, the playfield will be filled by others, but much of all you were and did here remains a part of the school. We see it in publications, organiza- tions, art, music, in the labs and in athletics. Something stays. We will be reminded of you. May you return often to share with us your experiences in the greater theater of opera- tions.
